From Paris With Love: CHEAP SIGMA BRUSH MAT DUPES FOR UNDER $8!!! (Uh...what's a Sigma Brush Mat?)

Parc Monceau

I never in a million years would have thought that French Tonal Impressionism and Women's Makeup would ever intersect in any way, shape or form.

Impossible.

But I must humbly admit eyeshadow consultant Zabrena has proven me wrong, big time.

I am an accomplished French Tonal Impressionist painter. It's a passion of mine.

So much so I found it hard to sell my paintings at first. lol...

What's French Tonal Impressionism? That's a long subject for another blog.

The point is when it comes to my brushes, I'm a bit of a nut. I once spent 25 dollars on a single paint brush! :O

I love to go to an art store and handle all the different shapes and sizes and see how they move by pressing them against my palm.

And when it comes to cleaning I have no problem spending an hour working the brushes till they are spotless which is not so easy when you are using oil based paints. You need to use lots of hot water to get far into the bristles.

Then somehow I came across My Eyeshadow Consultant Zabrena. OMG! She's is as passionate about women's makeup as I am about painting and as accomplished as well.

In one of her vids she actually talks about using a complementary color to tone down another color that is too bright.

Zabrena! You're freaking me out!!!

And in this video she really blew my away! She is using all these great cheap ideas to clean make up brushes.

And the oven mit is exactly the solution I've been looking for to clean my brushes for all these years.

So for all the Makeup lovers or brush junky Artists like myself out there, this video is for you! :D
