My Pro Kit Favourites

items Here is a list of my core Pro kit favourites from mainstream brands, I also use many of the brands that I listed in the Canadian Beauty Brand list, check that out too. I am a fan of trying to use what I have, let the inner artist work by mixing and blending my own colours and shades. Its a fun challenge to mix and create rather than have a billion separate shades of pink, minimalism and creativity within my kit is the goal, yet still be able to do any job that comes my way.

Skin prep and foundations, skin products to build your kit with.
I love these in my Pro Kit, they are amazing as a multi use product for wedding, events and everyday makeup. I love how well the foundations blend and the how the colour can be used for everything from skin, contour, bronzer, lips and cheeks. The ref... How do you use your palette?
HD Skin All-In-One Face Palette - Makeup Forever
I love this primer for TV and weddings and events, it reduces shine without adding layers of makeup. It can be used alone to reduce shine or with foundation products too. It has that blurring effect which helps to reduce the look if fine lines and po...

I have the Maybelline Skin Tint in my Pro kit, I've been using it and loving it as a longwear option for makeup. I love the finish on the skin. I've been using both a beauty blender or a foundation brush for application or both. One bride cried, I was able to dab the tears off her face and it stayed put, I did also use a setting spray.
Maybelline Super Stay Up To 24H Skin Tint Foundation, skin ...
I feel like I can do a whole face with Shape Tape and I have in a pinch. This is more of a matte finish, skin should be prepared well. I like to let it set for a minute before blending it out.

Eyes
These are a bunch of my favourite eyeshadows at the moment. I feel like I could have everything but try to keep it simple.
These are my main eyeshaodws in my pro kit, along with Danessa Myricks which I will also list. I have deported minis into larger Pro sized palettes. The colour selection is almost too fun.
EYESHADOW PALETTES - Viseart Paris
I use this brow pen on almost everyone. I love to start with each hair like stroke to fill a brow, I will then follow up with a brow pomade to shape and fuller fill of needed.
Brow & Eye Pen - Amaterasu Beauty
Cheeks and Lips
This is a growing list of lip and cheek products. I often interchange lip and cheek shades because why not?!
I LOVE these, you only need the tiniest amount of product for maximum pigment. They set quickly so be ready for that. Eyes, lips, cheeks, liner… all bases are covered here.

Pillow Talk Always! Haha it's gorgeous and that is all, haha.

Longwear Tips
These are some products I have used to make them super longwear, waterproof, perfect for events and weddings.
This is a MUST HAVE in a Pro kit. If you want to make anything waterproof. Add a drop of Aqua Seal. You can add a drop of aqua seal to lipstick, dab your brush in a drop and drop into eyeshadow for eyeliner. This allows an artist to simplify their kit and not have to have all waterproof and long wear as well as “regular” products.
Aqua Seal - Sealer
I have been loving this setting spray to set a makeup for longwear, I downsize to a small bottle for my kit and refill with a larger size to keep it cost effective.
The Makeup Finishing Spray - Bridal Formula
IF you don't like a traditional waterproof mascara, try a tubing mascara. What I love about a setting mascara is that it comes off easily and if there are tears or moisture, just dab it away.
