Pixiwoo

Sam and Nic Chapman are the talented sisters behind Pixiwoo. These UK-based makeup artists have mastered celebrity tutorials. Are you a fan of Gigi Hadid? Learn how she does her makeup from Pixiwoo. Is Kendall Jenner your all-time girl crush? Find out how she masters her everyday look with Pixiwoo. Another thing we love about the Pixiwoo girls is their easy-going approach to makeup. If you don’t have the right brush to apply foundation, their advice is to use your hand. It gets the job done, too! Or if you don’t apply your eyeliner evenly, simply blend it out with a brush.

Pixiwoo’s mantra is makeup doesn’t have to be perfect, and they preach that in their videos, too. And—for a shameless plug—Sam and Nic both love and talk about LiLash® and LiBrow® in countless videos!
