HOW TO FIX SHATTERED EYESHADOW!!!!

Well, we figure this is a much needed tutorial for all you girlie girls out there. Cause heaven knows I have a jillion eyeshadows that have been trashed because this happens. It's just too much of a mess...but such a shame to loose such fabulous makeup!

Here's the how from EnKore Makeup showing us how to re-compress the eyeshadow back into place for use again. Reposting from Craft:...thanks for the info!

CHECK HER OUT!

We all get curious and even a little “Gladys Kravitz” at times (nosey, nosey, nosey), right? And, there's nothing wrong with that! Well, we pried a bit to find out the who, why and what about our Girlie Artists, asking a few personal questions about themselves and their craft so we could share it with the rest of you. Get to know our fabulous females on an ongoing basis. At least one of these talented ladies will be featured in a new interview profile section on our blog every month. Who are these chicks? Let’s find out…...
