Best lip mask!!! I use it personally and its a MUST HAVE for Makeup Artists.
Laneige
Most mascaras tend to burn my eyes if I sweat a little. This tubing mascara adds length and volume without burning my eyes on a hot FL day.
Best Mascara for Sensitive Eyes
This spray is not only affordable but also effective! I use this before applying foundation and after if i want a dewy finish.
Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray
Amazing drugstore setting spray that really has makeup holding for hours!!
Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
Get this if you want juicy kissing lips! I do not recommend it if you have sensitive skin/lips.
Duck Plump High Pigment Plumping Lip Gloss
Hydration without a greasy or shiny finish. I recommend using this before makeup application. Also add a drop or two to your foundation to lessen coverage or for a dewy finish.
Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops Brightening Serum
Always a classic! My current go to blush for any occasion.
Baked Blush
The best drugstore concealer in the market. It has great coverage, thin but creamy texture and a little goes along way. Works very well many different foundations. I love this product for my Brides and myself!
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
I know this product isn't for everyone but for the price its worth a try! I don't use this on my clients but I use it personally to set my concealer and bake. After I use a setting spray to really melt the powder flawlessly.
Airspun Coty Loose Face Powder Translucent
Not a super well known brand but one I have used for YEARS! From the moment I first started to learn about makeup this bronzer has served me well and will continue to do so! I highly suggest checking out the blush, HOT MAMA, as well. Its one of my OG...
Bahama Mama® Powder Bronzer
This item alone shaved off like 5-10 mins for personal and client makeup application. I use this to groom the eyebrows into a perfect shape and then I can go in and fill any gaps as needed. A staple in my kit.
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler | NYX Professional Makeup
Luxury
These are luxury items that ARE worth the price! You can purchase these items on sale during special events thru the cosmetic website or Sephora and Ulta!
Yes. All I can say is yes. If you are going to get anything from Charlotte Tilbury please try the pressed powder. Use it to set your makeup BEFORE any baking. This powder is great for ALL ages! I used to struggle setting makeup on anyone 40 years and...
Makeup Powder & Setting Spray
This item is NOT for amateurs! It can burn your skin if not used properly. I only use this when I am having a breakout. The salicylic acid is an active ingredient that dries out the pimples and is tingly. Please only use a small amount to start and D...
Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser
Let me start by saying you dont need this item. It truly is an item that not only looks luxurious but feels luxurious on the skin. The spray and balm smell wonderful and leave your skin blurred and radiant. I do not recommend the spray for oily skin.
Tatcha
Makeup Artist must have!!!! These eyeshadows are pigment, easily applicable, long lasting and the shimmer works very well on mature skin. I know the price is up there but it is so worth it if you have a diverse clientele.
PAT McGRATH Eyeshadow Collection & Eye Palettes
A little goes a long way! It's full coverage but can be light when used only where needed. I like to use a setting spray while I blend the foundation so that it does not set too fast. Once it's on its not going anywhere. It's waterproof and transfer ...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
TonyMoly is not really luxurious but you can only get them on the website or Sephora. There products are actually very well priced! I lenjoy their face masks and feet masks. My favorite items from them come from the Rice line as it helps with acne/in...
TonyMoly
Pricey but sooooo worth it! Their products last a good time too. Ive tried their face spray, which smells incredible just like watermelon, and of course the OG dew drops, that can be used before makeup and mixed with foundation for a glowy look with ...
