MAC Face & Body...

-

The number one question I am asked by new makeup artist is:
" What foundations should I add to my freelancing kit?!" 

With tones of products on the market we sometimes get caught up in price, hype, and packaging.  If you are shopping for your own personal makeup kit then sure, go ahead and get whatever works for you and looks pretty (shucks I do for my personal kit ). However, when it comes to your freelance makeup kit these points should not matter. You want foundations that can be used on all skin tones, skin types, and look great in video and pictures. This is why I choose MAC Face & Body. It is a light weight water based face and body foundation made for all skin types and comes in 13 shades. Face & Body comes infused with tons of emollients which will moisturize your skin (great for clients with mature or dehydrated skin). It has a light natural finish which is great for clients who don't like heavy foundations. For times that I am looking for more of a heavier coverage I add a little concealer to it on the back of my hand or on my mixing pallet (this is a good tip for wedding and photography/video makeup). I love using this foundation in my daily makeup routine because it looks so natural (I only have Face & Body on in my picture above). 

Just because there are 13 shades of Face & Body does not mean that you need all 13. A good rule of thumb is to buy every other color. For example in my kit I have C1, C3, C6, N2, N5, N9, these are sufficient for my kit since I always mix 2 shades to obtain the right one. 

If your still unsure try Face & Body along with some other brands your curious about. Stores like Sephora are great because they give you product samples that you can try yourself and on your clients for feedback. Hope this helps :)

Sephora Moonshadow Baked Palette...

On a recent trip to my local Sephora I was introduced to their Moonshadow Baked Palette. These palettes come in two color themes: In The Nude and In The Dark. Both palettes come with 10 baked eye shadows that can be used wet or dry. I love these shadows and believe Sephora did a great job with them and the price point of $28 is well worth it. These shadows are highly pigmented, have minimal fall out, and both palettes come in great color selections for both natural and dramatic makeup looks. This palette is a great alternative to those who don't want to pay $50 dollars for Urban Decays Naked Palette . Give these shadows a try and let us know what your think! __________________________________________________________________

Who Wants Kissable Lips?...

We all know by now that its important to exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells, environmental debris, makeup, and dirt. Exfoliation helps slush away old dirty skin cells to make room for new healthy cells. Our lips are no exception and need the same care, especially in the approaching fall and winter months. All you need is a toothbrush (soft bristle is best) and some Vaseline. First wet your lips with a bit of water, then apply a small amount of Vaseline to your tooth brush. Starting with your top lip and gently brush your lips in circular motion going around from top lip to bottom lip and back again. Continue brushing until you start to feel your lips becoming smooth. If you notice your lips start to peel gently continue brushing. When your done wipe off the excess Vaseline with a soft face cloth. Now apply your favorite chap stick and lip stick and your lips are kissable soft. ___________________________________________________________
