The lovely ladies of Pixiwoo, sisters Samantha and Nicola Chapman, through their informative yet easy going how-to make-up videos have inspired me to start playing with make-up again.
Since I’ve been out of (steady) work for about a year now, my lack of a daily make-up routine has left me feeling a bit dull. However, after viewing many of their videos (there’s currently two hundred on their YouTube channel!) I feel eager to not only get fixed up before heading out the door, but to stretch my skills. You should know that my skills are at the level of “slap on some foundation, brush on some blush, line and mascara the eyes, and gloss the lips.” Nothing fancy-schmancy, so I have lots of room to stretch myself!
Their videos range from skincare and everyday make-up application, to product review, to celebrity looks, and to my personal favorites, (what I consider) avant garde looks. I’m particularly drawn to those since they are a complete departure from the “everyday” look and really showcase how we can alter our looks with some out-of-the-box creativity.
Check them out either one their YouTube Channel or at FashionFace.tv.
