MDMAmakeup's video: Makeup Mystery Theatre Ep 4: Maybe Beach and Hiking FEAT GLEAM by Melanie Mills Review

I love love love GLEAM by Melanie Mills! I attribute it to me getting into the Golden Globes after party with no questions asked. In today's MMT I had plans to be outdoors, doing something near the beach with a very good looking friend ;) I wanted to do something that would look great yet stay appropriate.

No one really talks about how much investment goes into making even the easiest look. It is not to brag but more so set realistic ideas of what luxury makeup costs. A lot of people expect makeup done for free or very cheap not realizing how much it costs to be a working makeup artist. I think it's important for people wanting to be makeup artists as well, luckily a lot of products are available at pro discounts but most ultra lux products are not (i.e. ysl, trish, dior, la prarie). Start budgeting!! xx MDMA
