I’m just going to come right out and admit it, when it comes to applying make-up I have no clue what I’m doing. My eye shadow has often come out looking like I got into a bar fight the night before, my lip colour makes me seem like a less than classy version of Pretty Woman and contouring, highlighting and pretty much anything that has do to with a bronzer turns my face into something that may or may not have been hit with a mud ball. Sad, but true.

This is the single reason I don’t really wear make-up… I do indulge in some mascara and eyeliner here and there, and if I’m feeling adventurous maybe some light foundation or concealer for coverage. But otherwise, I don’t really waste my time on a daily basis applying something I’m just going to have to remove anyway.

In light of my lack of make-up applying abilities, for years I’ve been watching TONS of YouTube videos of American beauty bloggers, some of my favourites are LustreLux, Carli Bybel and Teni Panosian. Between these three alone I’ve learnt more than I ever could have on my own. Something that they have all mentioned in pretty much every video is the Beautyblender®. Something that looks so incredible when applying their foundation and concealer! Something that I half-heartedly searched for in SA but could never really find anywhere because I just assumed it’s “one of those things” we don’t get in South Africa.

Well, do I have good news for you, it’s here with Prana Products!
