Make up brush adaptions

When I asked on Instagram who would like to see this blog post I wasn't actually sure if anyone 

would even comment or want to see how I adapted my make up brushes but wow I was so blown away with the response.

I first lost my mobility in my right arm when I was five and as a child you are so much more resilient to adaption and much quicker to recover, being right handed I had to change my whole way of doing things and to be honest I cant even remember how but somehow I did, now fast forward 16 years 4 months before I was due to get married I lost the movement in my left arm and trust me this felt like the worst time of my life, I thought how the dickens am I ever going to get over this? the answer was time, re learning how to do things and your other half suffering your tantrums of frustration and always being there at your side no matter what, trying his best to do your make up even though he grew up with one brother and had no idea from eyeliner to eyebrow pomade.

Make up was a real passion of mine and it was completely took away from me, I didn't use any of it for months no eye shadow, no liner nothing! then we came up with the brain wave of masking taping all my make up brushes to long items, rummaging through the whole house trying to find things that would 'do' not glamorous in the slightest but I was finally able to do it my self again, but boy was I wrong, trying to do eyeliner on a stick longer than your arm was a living nightmare took months of practicing and crying haha (sound like such a diva) 5 years on I can finally say I think I've mastered the eyeliner and nearly eye brows now wohoo! The only thing this whole experience has taught me is to be patient, I have so much get up and go in me but I'm trapped in my own body which frustrates the living hell out of me! 

What you'll need;

-Masking tape, plenty of it! 

- make up brushes

- long sticks

 and lastly 

patience 

Lots of Love
