<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I purchased a 10pc Professional Makeup Brush Set by Crown Brush on HauteLook.com and I am sooooo very happy with my purchase. I purchased "Set 522" for $30 on www.HauteLook.com (what a deal!!!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This same brush set can be purchased directly from www.CrownBrush.us for $59.95. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this set came 10 Syntho Brushes:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Large Powder Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flat Bronzer Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Angled Face Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Foundation Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shadow Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Precision Crease Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Angled Liner/Brow Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eyeliner Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brow/Mascara Spoolie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Small Fan Brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pretty much love all of the brushes in the set but I have a few favorites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Flat Bronzer brush, is like a Kabuki brush on a stick. I use it to buff my finishing powder onto my face. It blends everything all together for a flawless finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Angled face brush I love to use for contouring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And my absolute favorite for me is the Precision Crease brush. Because I have small eyes, this brush makes applying crease color a breeze, especially perfect for the outer corner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall this set is a great deal. The brush hairs are super soft and pretty dense. In my opinion it is an awesome quality brush set for the price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-efu3OdVWOQk/Uu7BCuGkT5I/AAAAAAAAAY4/WVrzQ4dRGVE/s640/blogger-image-1620956610.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-efu3OdVWOQk/Uu7BCuGkT5I/AAAAAAAAAY4/WVrzQ4dRGVE/s320/blogger-image-1620956610.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite Drug Store brand beauty products. These are all based upon my personal opinion and what I find works for me. <br />
<br />
<br />
1) <b>Neutrogena Oil Free Cleansing Wipes (Pink Grapefruit Acne-Prone Skin)</b><br />
Love these wipes!!! I usually catch these on sale (buy one get one 1/2 off) at <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/106386721301754424751" target="_blank">+CVS/pharmacy</a>. I keep one at home and another in my gym bag. They do a great job of cleaning off makeup in one step. Perfect for those late nights when your too lazy to wash your face off and you just want to go straight to bed. Also before and after a workout. Because my skin is sometimes prone to breakouts, I love that these wipes have Salicylic Acid to help control my breakouts. Im not crazy about the scent but have gotten use to it. Also these wipes are not meant for the eyes... so be careful around this sensitive area... It will sting. ;-)<br />
<br />
2) <b>Aquaphor Healing Ointment</b><br />
This stuff is AMAZING!!! It works like Vaseline but less greasy feeling and absorbs quicker into your skin. I use it Everyday .... Day & Night! Before bed, I apply to my under eye area and lips. After showers, I apply it to my elbows, heals, feet and hands. Also works perfectly to keep lips moisturized and super soft when applied intermittently through out the day. As of lately, Ive been mixing in a very small amount into my moisturizer in the mornings to help protect my skin against these brutally cold winer days in NYC.<br />
<br />
3) <b>Oil of Olay Complete Moisturizer w/ Sunscreen</b><br />
Growing up I watched my Mother and Grandmother use this. Its been around forever! Its affordable and does its job!!! It absorbs quickly into my skin and love that it comes with SPF 15 for added protection from the sun.<br />
<br />
4) <b>L'Oreal True Match Foundation</b><br />
For a very long time this has been my very favorite drug store beauty product. This is my Everyday Foundation. I've tried alot of different foundations but could never find just the right shade when it came to drug store makeup. This foundation is super blendable and provides great coverage without feeling heavy and cakey. I use W6 in the winter months and W7 in the summer.<br />
<br />
5) <b>Wet & Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner</b><br />
This is extremely new to my makeup collection but without a doubt will be a staple in my makeup kit. It retails for ONLY $3.99 and sure gives you a bang for your buck!!! This long lasting liquid liner won me over after its stood perfectly in place after I taught 2 Zumba classes in a row followed by an Insanity Workout. The staying power is absolutely amazing and it dries Matte.<br />
<br />
6) <b>L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara</b><br />
I love this mascara because not only those it lengthen my lashes it easily allows me too coat every single lash. Even those hard to get corners. Best of all, they work amazingly on the bottom lashes. It remind me of Maybelline Lash Stylist (discontinued product).<br />
<br />
7) <b>Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque</b><br />
I apply this Green Mask 1-2xs a week. I let it dry on my face for 15-20 min and rinse off with warm water. My skin feels so clean and tight afterward. Its a great face mask for under $5.<br />
<br />
8) <b>Ardell Lashes + Duo Adhesive Glue</b><br />
I usually try to catch these on sale. They offer a large selection of lashes. My new favorites are the Double Ups 203 for special events or a night out on the town. If I want to go for a less dramatic look the 110 is another favorite. The Duo Adhesive glue in Clear or Black is the perfect companion to keep your lashes securely put for hours and easily comes off with out pulling out your natural lashes.<br />
<br />
9) <b>Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave In Conditioning Cream</b><br />
After I shampoo & Condition my hair, I put about a dime size of this product into my hair and then detangle. Its helps to make my hair very manageable and feels super soft after blow drying.<br />
<br />
10) <b>Maybelline Baby Lips</b><br />
I keep one of the babies with me at all times, year round. My favorites are Quenched (005) and Cherry Me (015). These babies are super moisturizing.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">The furniture was purchased from Ikea over the summer. I went in with my heart set on the Malm Dressing Table in Brown/Black to go with the rest of my Bedroom furniture. Unfortunately, that color was discontinued. So walking around, I found the Besta Desk which closely resembled the Malm Dressing Table but with out the drawer for storage. The Besta Desk was $99. The mirror though very chic looking resulted to be not so practical. The Ung Drill Mirror was $39.99. I love the "Mirror Mirror On the Wall" feel it gives to the look of my vanity but doesn't help at all with my makeup application. For makeup application I rely on my Conair Lighted Makeup Mirror. For the Chair I decided to go with the Stefan Chair for $25 with the Justina Chair Pad in Natural for $5.99. One of my favorite purchases from Ikea were the Rektangle Vase for $1.99 each and the Kulort Crushed Glass as Vase Fillers for $2.99 each. For additional storage, I went Target and purchased a Sterilite 3 Drawer Storage Cart in Black.</span></div>

So as I was doing some last minute shopping on Christmas Eve. I decided to splurge on myself just a little bit. I was in the market for a new flat iron since the one I had at home just was doing it for me anymore. I was frustrated with my Chi Iron because I found that it was drying out my hair and causing ALOT of split ends. After reading the reviews on the Sephora website, I decided to go with the GHD Classic 1" Styler ... and I am soooooo glad I did!!! I was very hesitant because of the price but its well worth it. Not only can I straighten my hair but I can also create gorgeous long lasting curls and best of all my hair looks shiny and healthy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's a curly look I created using my new GHD Classic 1" Styler:</div>

The long awaited Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay was on my Christmas list this year. It was love at first sight. Taking advantage of my Sephora VIB Reward Card ... I waited for the in-store release date to run a pick up my very own palette plus one for my mother as a Christmas gift. I was excited to save $20 off the $52 retail price. What a great buy!!! <br />
<br />
This is my favorite so far of the "Naked"eyeshadow palette collection. All of the colors are not only gorgeous but also very pigmented and easily blendable. Here's a look I created using the Naked 3 Palette.<br />

Listen to an Agent, Creative Director, Publicist and Editor discuss their roles in the industry and what they look for when booking artists and reviewing portfolios. <br /><br />The panel included Judy Casey and Joan Zingarelli of <a href="http://www.judycasey.com/">Judy Casey Inc</a>. Judy Casey Inc is an agency representing a diverse group of photographers, stylist, hair and makeup artists.<br />Also on the panel was Richard Ferretti, Creative Director for Gourmet Magazine and Cari Ross, publicist to the stars.<br /><br /><strong>Here are some of general notes that a took down during the discussion:</strong><br /><strong>Be Professional</strong> - Across the board, they couldnt have stressed this more.<br /><strong>Maintain Relationships/Network</strong> - Keep in contact with all contacts you make (old and new).<br /><strong>Team Player</strong> - Dont just go to a shoot a do makeup... become involved, communicate and ask questions. Work together with everyone involved (ex: photographer, stylist, director).<br /><strong>Be Expansive/Flexible</strong> - Be open-minded and willing to try new things.<br /><strong>Be Open to Creative Input & Critique</strong> - take criticism as positive as possible.<br /><strong>Be Personable</strong> - Easy to communicate and work with<br /><strong>Don't Rely on Retouching</strong> - You want your work to look as amazing before as it does after. Photographer shouldn't need to retouch makeup.<br /><br /><br /><em><strong>Portfolio & Career Development</strong></em><br />Avg portfolio size is 11x14<br />Have atleast 10 GREAT Images in your book<br />Keep your book clean and sleek<br />Make the images flow - Series of images that "tell a story"<br />Set realistic goals<br />Assist Professional Makeup Artists<br />Ask Advice <br />Be on the look out for up and coming talent to work with.<br />Request untouched photos along with the touched images. This way you can self evaluate your own work and improve in areas which need improvement.<br />Focus on clean and beautiful makeup.<br />Find a hair stylist to work with.<br />Understand lighting.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Next blog ....

This look can be achieved with any foundation. It doesnt have to be the MAC Hyper Real foundation. You can use any foundation but the Brush is "KEY" to getting the look. Whether its the MAC 188 or the 187.<br /><br />Also, while on you-tube yesterday, I came across a video Koren, of EnKore Makeup did, kind of explaining the stipple vs the stipple and swirl technique.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid.<br /><br /><br />So I grabbed my MAC Hyper Real Foundation in NC400 and my 188 Brush (the baby brother of the 187). I began with a moisturized face. Today I used Cetaphil Moisturizer Lotion and let in sit on my face about 15 min before I applied the makeup. <br /><br />I poured about a nickle size of foundation on to the back of my hand. I took the 188 brush and dabbed it into the foundation just getting enough makeup on to the tips of the brush. Make sure not to pick up too much product on your brush.<br /><br /><br />I used the stippling technique to apply my foundation all over my face. And what a result! It gave me great coverage with a flawless finish. <br /><br />Now when you use the stipple technique, all you have to do is just dab dab dab all over your face. I may just have to do a video tutorial on this. The main idea is just to stipple only all over and do not swirl.<br /><br />I hope this make sense. LOL!!<br /><br />The MAC Hyper Real foundation is a smooth pearlescent liquid foundation formulated to make the skin reflect a natural health and vibrancy. Giving you that J-Lo Glow.<br /><br />Give it a shot ... you will not be disappointed.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12796515442691193082noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634688356363549355.post-22559779677976904522009-02-16T16:47:00.000-08:002009-02-16T16:59:28.900-08:00Hello Kitty Launch Party 2/3/09<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoLzY0Wb3I/AAAAAAAAAFs/jKtRMxbD_a8/s1600-h/DSC04673.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoLzY0Wb3I/AAAAAAAAAFs/jKtRMxbD_a8/s320/DSC04673.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303564488645439346" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoLasBtqTI/AAAAAAAAAFk/YteMGQkaQ7c/s1600-h/DSC04669.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoLasBtqTI/AAAAAAAAAFk/YteMGQkaQ7c/s320/DSC04669.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303564064305031474" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoLDWoUDOI/AAAAAAAAAFc/MrjJ9RtN0jo/s1600-h/DSC04670.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoLDWoUDOI/AAAAAAAAAFc/MrjJ9RtN0jo/s320/DSC04670.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303563663424359650" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoKzNUQIGI/AAAAAAAAAFU/QgQZ6H-TS-c/s1600-h/DSC04677.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoKzNUQIGI/AAAAAAAAAFU/QgQZ6H-TS-c/s320/DSC04677.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303563386046390370" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoKb876GjI/AAAAAAAAAFM/bRDbpb3U-9g/s1600-h/DSC04675.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SZoKb876GjI/AAAAAAAAAFM/bRDbpb3U-9g/s320/DSC04675.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303562986512325170" /></a><br />Here are some photos from the Hello Kitty Launch Party on 2/3/09 at the MAC store in the Roosevelt Field Mall in NY.<br /><br />What a gorgeous collection.

Yes I said FREE!!!Starting next week, several big retailers will giveaway $175 million worth of free high-end cosmetics including such brands as Estee Lauder and L'Oreal to consumers as part of a class-action settlement alleging that the stores planned to fix prices.<br /><br />Department stores such as Macy's and Nordstrom will distribute free cosmetics as long as supplies last to shoppers who bought certain cosmetics between May 29, 1994 and July 16, 2003 to settle claims that the stores violated antitrust laws and tried to fix prices.<br /><br />The offer is part of an agreement to settle a lawsuit filed in 2003 in a California federal court. The suit alleges stores tried to limit sales and scale back on the amount of cosmetics in their inventory, thereby keeping both prices and competition high.<br /><br />The department stores involved in the matter have denied any wrongdoing.<br /><br />The products will be available starting Jan. 20. Shoppers are only permitted to receive one product made by cosmetic companies that include Chanel, Estee Lauder and L'Oreal USA, among others.<br /><br />Stores participating in the settlement include: Bergdorf Goodman, Bergner's, Bloomingdale's, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott, Dillard's, Gottschalks, Herberger's, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Parisian, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Younkers.<br /><br />A complete list of products set for distribution next week is available at http://www.cosmeticssettlement.com.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12796515442691193082noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634688356363549355.post-10866209530104963262008-12-19T18:52:00.000-08:002008-12-19T19:36:27.561-08:00R.I.P Makeup Artist: Todd Homme<div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SUxnvltpomI/AAAAAAAAACU/yUobApctU3w/s1600-h/th1.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281710530273845858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SUxnvltpomI/AAAAAAAAACU/yUobApctU3w/s400/th1.bmp" border="0" /></a> <strong>Todd Homme </strong></div><div align="center"><strong>1985 - 2008<br /></strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><em>May he rest in eternal peace.</em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><em><br /> </div></em></span><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SUxe5cwB-zI/AAAAAAAAACM/1xqRApUYkDg/s1600-h/blushtodd.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281700804061952818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 62px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SUxe5cwB-zI/AAAAAAAAACM/1xqRApUYkDg/s320/blushtodd.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Finalist of the Makeup Reality TV Show "Blush", Todd Homme passed away in his sleep Saturday, December 13th. The cause of death is unknown but is rumored to be due to a heart condition. Todd was only 23 years old.<br /><br /><br />I became a fan of Todd while watching "Blush". He was a true inspiration. His love and passion for Makeup shined through his work. Todd came across as a genuinely good-hearted person and an extraordinary human being. The judges on the show always spoke highly of him. They said things like ... "he has so much joy, you see it in his face when he works" "he lives for it."<br /><br /><br /><br />Even while watching the finale show Tuesday evening, I was not aware of his passing<br /><br />It wasn't until Wednesday morning, while at work a co-worker mentioned ... "hey, did you hear one of the guys from Blush passed away?" Immediatedly I turned to Google to see what I could find. My heart dropped to the floor when I found out it was Todd. I read an article on Newsday.com which confirmed his death. Todd was my favorite on the show, along with Nolan. Together they made an excellent team.<br /><br /><br /><br />I did not know Todd Homme on a personal level but can honestly say I was touched by his personality and inspired by his passion of Makeup.<br /></div><div align="center"><br />I would like to extend my condolences to Todd Homme's loved ones. My prayers are with his Fiance, Mother, Nolan, and his family during this very difficult time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12796515442691193082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634688356363549355.post-32706824090989667852008-12-01T09:57:00.000-08:002009-01-11T19:18:11.129-08:00Recent Photoshoot - Bellydance<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SWq2UKv3IiI/AAAAAAAAADc/_KNvja26Tmk/s1600-h/20081122-IMG_493870.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sAOeTa6JGB8/SWq2UKv3IiI/AAAAAAAAADc/_KNvja26Tmk/s320/20081122-IMG_493870.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290241169898807842" /></a>

with Jeanne Van Phue, MAC’s Makeup Department Head for TwilightCredit to: www.makeupandbeautyblog.com<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/images/twilight" target="_blank"><img src="http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m85/itslovemakeithurt_xo/twilight/twilight.jpg" border="0" alt="twilight Pictures, Images and Photos"/></a><br /><br /><br /> Q: What was the process for creating the various characters’ looks?<br /> A: Katherine Hardwicke, the director, and I have previously worked together on a movie called Lords of Dogtown, so we know each other very well. I began by preparing sketches of my vision, keeping in mind the descriptions Stephanie Myers (Twilight’s Author) set forth in the books. <br /><br /> Bella’s (Kristen Stewart’s character) description in the novel is very pale and extremely beautiful with large chocolate brown eyes, so she wore colored lenses every day. I also pictured her as a natural beauty, which is exactly what Kristen is. I used a light hand while applying all neutral colors to make her look as though she had no makeup on.<br /><br /> Edward’s (Robert Pattinson’s character) description in the novel is impossibly handsome almost god-like. His skin is marble-pale, hard as stone and ice cold, but perfect and flawless. Edwards’ eyes are described as topaz colored when he is normal and black like onyx, when hungry.<br /><br /> Q: Were there any changes to the looks of the characters that weren’t planned?<br /> A: At the beginning, Katherine Hardwicke visualized Edward with long hair, yet after studying his face and jaw line in the makeup test, the decision was made to go with short hair to accentuate his amazing jaw line.<br /><br /> Q: What was the overall look of the makeup in this movie?<br /> A: All the vampires had to be pale, but I didn’t want them to look to ghoulish, somewhere between Sweeney Todd and Interview with the Vampire. The choice was made for a denser, more opaque look for the supporting vampires and a lighter look for the leading man.<br /><br /> The challenge was they still had to look beautiful and handsome. The key was striking the delicate shading balance. We had two weeks of makeup test. This is the time for a makeup artist to unleash their imagination.<br /><br /> During the testing Katherine let me know when I was on the mark. Katherine has a fabulous eye for detail and everything I did had to be approved by her.<br /><br /> Q: Were there any other challenges you encountered while working on location in Portland, Oregon?<br /> A: The rain was a huge challenge. We were outside, and it rained the entire time we were there. Most of the shots were exterior; trying to fix makeup in the rain with wet faces and wet brushes was difficult. In the end, I must say I loved working on this movie, it challenge my creativity as never before. The cast was such a great group of talented young actors.<br /><br /> Q: What were your non-makeup related responsibilities in terms of creating this look?<br /> A: Another one of my jobs was too find a contact lens specialist. So I called upon the expertise of Cristina Patterson Ceret FX lens/painter from Professional VisionCare.<br /><br /> Q: What M·A·C products did you use on the film Twilight?<br /> A: The M.A.C products I used on this film were eye shadows and powder for our principles. We had several other characters and day players I used M.A.C. foundations, lipsticks and blushes.<br /><br /> Q: How long have you used M·A·C products?<br /> A: In 30 years as a makeup artist in my career and over 50 movies, M·A·C products have played an integral part in my work. I have probably used all of them at one time or another. I choose the cosmetics based on their skin tone and whether they are oily or dry. It also depends on how the product reacts to their particular skin type.<br /><br /> M·A·C Makeup used on Bella played by Kristen Stewart<br /><br /> * Blot Powder/Pressed in Light<br /> * Eye Shadow on Blanc Type, Flute and Wedge<br /><br /> M·A·C Makeup used on Edward played by Robert Pattinson<br /><br /> * Blot Powder/Pressed in LightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
