Not everyone is an expert at makeup. In all honesty, I’m horrible at makeup and feel as though no matter how hard I try, I’ll never get it right.
But, thanks to the Internet and beauty bloggers, there are tons of makeup artists all over the web that can teach us a thing or two about applying everything from foundation, to eyeshadow, to filling in our eyebrows. Some of these ladies have gotten so big, they have their own makeup lines and cosmetic companies. If you’re like me and struggle with putting on highlighter, check out these talented makeup artists who can teach you a thing or two about face beats.
