Brushless Makeup Challenge

I don't know about you, but when I first started out using makeup I never had any brushes or tools. I didn't realise that brushes and sponges were actually needed for a good makeup application. Even as I delved further into makeup, I wouldn't admit that they were needed. I felt they were an expense I didn't need and boy was I wrong!

I have a condition called fibromyalgia. As part of this condition, my hands get very sore. My fingers get stiff and very sore, so smearing makeup on my face is not a good idea, especially with joints that threaten to jump out of their correct position with one wrong move. So I caved and I purchased some makeup brushes. To be honest, the story of my epiphany is best kept for another time especially as an epiphany on the usefulness of makeup brushes is not best placed in a blog post about a brushless makeup challenge. I have been planning videos that I want to film for my youtube channel and I decided that it would be useful to those who were in my position and don't want to buy makeup brushes or don't think they are useful. This is how we have now ended up with the brushless makeup challenge.

The whole point of the brushless makeup challenge is to help those who for whatever reason don't have makeup brushes. I feel that bloggers and youtubers need to realise that a lot of young people look up to them and if they are constantly talking about expensive products it can get upset when you can afford what everyone else can. Believe me, I've been there. I still can afford everything I want but I have made peace with it but as a teenager it can be very difficult to understand this. The brushless makeup challenge shows that even if you can't afford cheap brushes or sponges, you have two of your most important tools at your disposable - your hands.

If you would like to see the first video from the brushless makeup challenge, then look no further.



If you take part in this challenge, you can use the hashtag #brushlessmakeup on Twitter or Instagram; or if you upload a video tweet me a link and I'll create a playlist so we easily find all the videos.
I look forward to seeing all of your videos and looks.
