    Make-up tips
    Aisha did a beautiful job with her presentations. However, Janina needs a lot more practice. She looked at the wrong camera the entire time. She used the term "a eyeshadow primer" rather than "AN eyeshadow primer". She also said "... and you nicely want to blend that out." I'm not sure what that means. Harmony (?) used the term "the longest gevity..." I think she was trying to use the word longevity. Not sure.

Harmony Williams: Hi, my name is Harmony Williams and I am with Picture Perfect Makeup. We are here in Washington DC at PRatPartners. Today, I'm going to go over two things, I'm going to go over foundation primer and why its so important and then of course a foundation.

First we're going to start with the primer. It fills in lines, it fills in pores, it fills in any imperfections in our skin. So, it gives us that more useful radiant, smoother, younger looking skin. So, we're going to apply two pumps all over. This is so the foundation lays smooth on the skin. All you need is one pump of foundation. We're using a foundation brush and the reason why its important to use a foundation brush is because its going to give you that airbrush look. Using a sponge is going to soak up most of your foundation and you're going to go through a bottle a lot quicker. And there we go. Last but not the least we are going to set the products with powder. By doing this, its going to last all day long and give her the longest of it as she can have. You dont need a lot of this product. Tap before you pull it on, go across the forehead, and throughout the whole face and that's all that's needed for the perfect look. . .
