Not everyone should make tutorials...

So, I spend an inordinate amount of time on a certain website. There is a group of ladies and gentlemen on there that share my enthusiasm for all things make-up. I saw a post about this video tutorial last night. I, as was everyone else who commented, was flabbergasted. How on earth this woman fancied herself a professional make-up artist is beyond me. Maybe this "scene" stuff just wasn't her forte. I mean, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I can barely handle liquid liner that isn't in felt-tipped pen form. Maybe she was just practising?

 Still--this video is bad. The make-up is sloppy. I watched it hoping that it was some sort of parody. I still think it might have been...though admittedly, I am too old to know the whole "scene" thing.

After watching this video, I declared that my five year old could do at least as good a job at "scene" make-up.  So I sat down with Charlie and we watched the video...and I gave her a brush and a cheapie ELF palette. This is what happened.

the "scene" look as told by a five-year-old.

 I think she did a pretty good job. My palette didn't have any orange, which she was kind-of annoyed about, but she made do...with more blue. And black.

She was happy with the final product.

And the arteest. She was pretty proud.  She told me she thinks she did a better job than the lady in the video. I kind-of agree.
