"This makeup look was created using all different shades from the @mehronmakeup paradise paint pallet, and I finally learned how to use my new camera but I’m still getting the hang of it," this talented makeup artist shared. "Also I didn’t have enough time to run out and grab contacts so I used the Facetune app to edit my eyes which worked just as well. Also guys if you’re in need of a makeup artist for body paint or birthday parties look no further."
