SANITATION IS ALWAYS KEY
After you've cleaned your makeup brushes with your favorite brush cleaner or soap, it's also important to sanitize them as well. In addition to your makeup bag, brush holder, vanity area and any surface you may use during makeup application with 70% alcohol.
Disinfecting with 70% versus 91% or higher has more germ killing power compared to something more concentrated. Plus anything higher evaporates too quickly to be effective.
Here's How:
Pour a small amount of the rubbing alcohol into a glass bowl and quickly dip the brush several times.
Squeeze, blot and gently wipe dry with a clean paper towel.
Dry your brushes upside down to prevent the brush hairs from falling out. Because laying them flat can cause the glue holding the brush hairs inside the ferrule can become loose.

Center for Closing the Health Gap is a non-profit organization, founded in 2004, committed to raising awareness about and eliminating racial and health disparities across Greater Cincinnati.
I've shared below the commercial along with a few photos from what was involved to make it all happen. Enjoy!
The countdown to the end of my busy 2015 wedding season will soon begin. And last weekends wedding was so beautiful, realizing that actually made me a bit sad. Tatyana and Alan tied the knot & partied all night at The Manor House, one of my favorite venues!
The direction I chose for her makeup was completely inspired by her Maggie Sottero gown from Bridal & Formal. Matte contoured skin with highlight and shimmer on various parts of her face. Shimmery smokey eyes using a Dior eye shadow palette, pink glowing cheeks by NARS and a shiny deep mauve lip. After curling her lashes, I applied not one but two pairs of false lashes by gluing them both together before application... one pair for lengthening and another for thickening.
Hair for Tatyana and her entire bridal party was done by Melissa & Kara from Salon Neveah.
