What have you learnt since you started beauty blogging?

I was thinking about this the other day and I decided to do a little post about it..then the post went into my draft files and someone beat me to it.

Being a sole-icitor, I can't help but show proof of me not being a copycat:

 So, here's what I've learnt:
  • You need more than one brush to do a decent full eye of makeup
  • Expensive doesn't always mean better
  • Nobody is born knowing how to blend eyeshadows, practice makes perfect
  • When there is a light and dark colour on the eye, it's not always two different shadows, you can blend it out 
  • UDPP is not the be all and end all of bases
  • Primer keeps your foundation on for longer
  • Liquid liner is not impossible..keep trying
  • White bases make colours appear brighter and lighter
  • Black bases make colours appear more vibrant
  • You can wear practically any shade of blusher if you blend it properly
  • You can successfully layer eyeshadows
  • When you find yourself using more of your mascara than you did when it was new, it's finished
  • Just because an eyeshadow from one brand is pants, it doesn't mean the rest of the products from that brand will be equally crap
  • Online swatches are seldom accurate
In closing..has anyone else learnt anything? Annnnnnnnnnnnnd...
    How fucking cute is that?! I especially love the las two pics, the smile on the face of that tiger is way too cute.

    2. I've learned that some of my fellow American brands are difficult to get a hold of in the UK unless I go and get them myself, there are loads of really nice bloggers out there (nudge nudge wink wink) and some pretty nasty ones, and I know more about MAC makeup then I ever wanted to know. I'm sure there is more but that's all I can think of right now.

    3. I'm trying to adopt that same view when it comes to liquid liner, but failing :P
