Get Ready with Bold Brownies

In pursuit of building our beauty blogging empire, it was only fitting to have professional photos taken of the Bold Brownies!  Excited about our new blogging endeavor, we booked a photographer and began soliciting the services of some of our favorite makeup artists to create our looks for our fabulous photo shoot.  After unsuccessfully trying to book five makeup artists, we figured it was a sign – we should be doing our own makeup!  A bit reluctant - keep in mind we are NOT makeup artists – we took the plunge and accepted the challenge! Take a look at how we did!
