So my girl Davenda is a professional make up artist. She works at a well known make-up store in Downtown Chicago so she has wide exposure to different brands of make-up from over the counter to professional make-up. I love how she does make-up on herself whenever we go out. She also does make for photoshoots and clients at her job. Working as a make-up artist/consultant in a location downtown allows her the opportunity to apply make-up on ALL types of faces. She will be introducing her Beauty Tip of the Week shortly. Make sure you check that out when it comes
