Best Make-Up Artist Blogs

I was delighted a few days ago to be informed that I was awarded 6th place in the 40 Best Make-Up Blogs. This was extraordinarily surprising as there are some beauty blog heavyweights in the mix, including top celebrity make-up artists Lisa Eldridge and Victoria Stiles. These are make-up artists that  aspire to be like, so it is absolutely amazing that I have ended up on the same list.
