[blparent] shaving legs

Sat Apr 6 04:05:27 UTC 2013

Hello there,

I had my sister apply makeup on me so much in the past that I mastered how
it's supposed to go on by how it felt.  I practiced a ton around someone who
could see to ask if I had done well.  The only things I've stayed clear from
with makeup is eye liner and lip liner.  Another key with makeup is not
apply too much, sticking with colors that compliment yours and making sure
to blend foundation really well so there isn't any blotches.  This technique
also goes for even things like sun screen and lotion as blotches of the
product could be left on the skin if not blended thoroughly. 

Hope this helped and have a great day.

Erin

could share some blindness techniques they use when applying makeup
