Masks that can change your skin!
Directly from Israel, all Ahava products are made with new incredible patented technologies that make them highly performing. I love using this mask once a week to deeply cleanse and purify my skin of any impurities.
Purifying Mud Mask
Tried&True best Skin Prep for makeup applications
Great toner with a subtle scent of cucumber. It has astringent properties which help reduce the appearance of pores. Feels fresh on the skin, has a gel consistency that’s not sticky. Works really well under silicon/wax based makeup.
Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner
The best serum to prep mature skin before makeup. It’s so rich in peptides that the skin is immediately plumped and more supple, ready to look at its best under a full application of makeup.
Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex
The Time Filler line immediately evens out fine lines and wrinkle for a more supple skin that is going to look at its best under makeup.
TIME-FILLER 5XP | FILORGA Official Online Store
This is the perfect moisturizer that every Makeup Artist should have in their kit! It’s highly hydrating without being greasy, can be applied in a thick layer as a mask, in a thin layer as a regular moisturizer to prep the skin, can also be used to r...
Lait-Crème Concentré - Daily Face and Body Cream - Embryolisse
Amazing moisturizer that leaves the skin feeling fresh and hydrated but not greasy. Works really well under makeup.
The Dewy Skin Cream Replenishing and Plumping Moisturizer
My favorite mineral sunscreen! Works great under makeup without creating flashback. It’s rich but not greasy.
SPF50+ Mineral Priming Lotion with Vegan Collagen
Rich in aloe and vitamin E, this moisturizer works well under makeup. It’s rich and hydrating but might feel a bit greasy on oily skin. A little bit goes a long way.
Hydrating Creams + Moisturizers | Collection
Great mineral sunscreen with a slight green tint to help conceal redness. Never heavy on the skin, offers a 45spf.
Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45 with Color Correction
Fresh to the touch, has a nice gel consistency that immediately awakens the under eye area. Glides well on the skin. Wait for full absorption before applying concealer.
Triple Lipid Eye Treatment
An oil that feels satiny on the skin, makes it look supple and replenished. Helps with correcting discoloration. Works really well under wax or silicon based complexion products. Wouldn’t recommend to pair with water based products.
Hibiscus Unspottable Correcting Oil
Super light weight gel formula that glides on the skin and adds a touch of freshness. Water, glycerin, and squalane make this product the perfect moisturizer/prep step for foundation application.
Dew Point
New discovery for me but already a favorite, this eye cream feels incredibly hydrating. Made with glycerin and squalane is the perfect prepping step for the under eye area. Helps with fine lines and firmness and works extremely well combined with wax...
Black Tea Anti-Aging Eye Cream with retinol-alternative BT Matrix - Fresh
This is the perfect niacinamide-infused serum for those looking for incredible radiance and glow. This serum is infused with micro reflective particles that will make your skin glowy but not shimmery. Love it in summer time!
Super Drops Niacinamide Vitamin C Glow Serum
Night time skin care for the perfect morning glow!
Literally feels like a soft pillow on the face, this night time hydrating mask will let your skin glowing from within. Feels great to teach and it’s extremely pleasant to wear.
Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial
Primers I love!
I’ve tried so many products in the past 20 years but these are the ones I either purchased more than once or appreciates the performance and quality.
Tested it over and over, really amazing primer at a very inexpensive price. While it looks like glue, it doesn’t feel like glue. Spreads evenly on the skin without being sticky. Works best combined with its own setting spray.
Face Glue Gripping Makeup Primer
It really helps smoothing out skin texture and making the base products last longer.
The POREfessional Face Primer
I’ve been using this product in my professional kit for over 10years. Nothing works as efficiently. IMPORTANT NOTE: apply on the lips and over the natural lip line to create a barrier and prevent feathering of the lipstick. WAIT until it becomes tack...
Prep + Prime Lip
Amazing mattifying primer. Would not recommend under a satin/matte foundation as it could mattify too much, but definitely recommended to be used on oily skin and under really thin foundations. It’s silicon based so it can’t be used under water based...
Primer
The best performing foundations!
A staple in my kit to create a skin-like application than never feels too heavy. Wax based, it’s the perfect product for humid climates since wax repels water. Must be “whipped” on a palette to perform at its best. Can be liquified using a mixing med...
Cream foundation Pallete | Graftobian Professional Makeup
Skin-like finish for this great foundation that’s rich in active ingredients. Not suitable for clients with a heavy skincare regimen since it provides a lot of what’s needed to hydrate the skin. Some shades oxidize. Be aware, the color range is devel...
triclone™ skin tech medium coverage foundation
Incredible formula for this stick foundation. Really easy to apply and blend, I recommend warming up the formula before applying on the face. Has a big range of shades, can also be used as a concealer, or any other complexion product: bronzer, contou...
The Minimalist
My clients LOVE this anti-aging foundation and so do I! Has a velvety finish, medium to high coverage and lasts a long time.
Invincible For All Anti-Aging HD Foundation
Blushes & Highlighters for the healthiest glow
These cream blushes are amazing. The color of selection is incredible, they blend extremely well and lasted a long time.
Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush
Double Gleam is the perfect neutral powder highlight that works on every skin tone. Not too warm, not too cool, it’s the perfect champagne. Spritz your brush with Fix+ for the best color payoff. Layer under blush for the healthiest glow!
MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish Highlighter
My favorite shade is Glassy Lilac, this gel like blush blends extremely well on the skin and over any foundation. Pigmented but without the coverage that sometimes it’s difficult to blend.
color fuse glassy blush balm stick
Love this trio! Can be used on the cheeks, lips, and eyes! The highlighter is a beautiful champagne shade that’s very flattering. I often use the medium brown to contour the eyes and use the highlighter on the tear duct.
Laura Geller Beauty Made to Multitask Eye, Lip, Cheek Palette, Think Pink
This liquid blush is to die for!! The color Frosted Pink is beautiful on any skin tone, radiant, with a nice pearlescent that makes it glowy but not oily. A little bit goes A LONG way, literally one drop per cheek is more than enough. It blends extre...
Blush Drops - Frosted Pink - Rodial
Eye pencils I swear by
Feline by MAC has been a staple in my kit for years. Creamy and smooth, works well on the waterline while also lasting throughout the day.
Eye Kohl | Matte Eye Pencil
Soft and creamy, allows for smudging and blending, but eventually dries to waterproof formula. Works really well in the waterline and lasts a long time. Pricey but also comes with a sharpener.
PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil
The Best Mascaras on the market
Love this mascara! It’s both volumizing and lengthening. Hold the curl extremely well and it’s truly waterproof. Needs an oily make up remover to be removed and must be applied rather quickly to avoid crumbling.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Waterproof Size Up Mascara
Bought it several times, it’s one of my favorite volumizing mascara. The wand combs and separates the lashes while also depositing product and avoids clumpsiness.
Fan Fest fanning & volumizing mascara
Love the applicator with two different lengths bristles. The long bristles comb very well while the shorter bristles deposit product on the lashes. The shorter bristles also allow for precise application on the lower lash line. Great at both volumizi...
MakeWaves® Mascara
My favorite eyelash curler for personal use. The new cushion is soft and hugs the lashes without breaking them. Perfect for those looking for wide open, doll like eyes.
Eyelash Curlers
These are the Powders you need!
Nothing compares to the Hourglass baked finishing powder, Italian-made, formula. These finishing powders add a beautiful radiance to the skin, help blur imperfections thanks to the reflecting particles and add a beautiful natural glow to the look.
Ambient™ Lighting Finishing Powder
An absolute staple in my kit. This powder is colorless, can be used to bake but also for a more sheer application without feeling heavy ever. It has no flashback whatsoever and does the job of mattyifing and setting the base. Been using it for over 1...
"The Original" No-Color Powder
Setting/Fixing Sprays you can’t live without
Amazing setting spray at a great price point. When used in combination with the primer from the same line it really makes the base transferproof. Shake well before use.
The Vegan Face Glue Setting Spray | NYX Professional Makeup
A staple in my professional kit, it’s cooling while setting the makeup in place for hours. Spray generously and let air dry or use a handheld fan.
The Makeup Finishing Spray - Bridal Formula
Professional quality fixing spray, Final Seal does exaclty as the name says: seals the makeup in place. Very simple but highly effective formula. Wouldn’t use everyday since its contain quite a bit of alcohol.
Final Seal | Matte Makeup Setting Spray
Another staple in my kit, I’ve been using Fix+ for over 10years. It’s a setting spray, not fixing spray, so it won’t seal nor make your makeup waterproof. Its job is to melt all the layers together. Made of water and glycerine can be used before, dur...
Fix+ | Makeup Setting Spray
Lip products worth a mention
Glossy but not sticky, this lip balm has a sheer coverage and really comfortable wear.
Lip
Love this gloss! The pigment is there but still subtle, this gloss isn’t sticky and feels very hydrating. I keep it in my purse for touchups throughout the day. It’s effortless yet elegant! The color range is very nice.
Shade Slick
The only red lipstick you'll ever need. Nothing else to add, this lipstick is phenomenal both in color and formula.
Russian Red M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick - MAC
Nothing beats MAC lipliners. The colors are so unique and the performance is outstanding. Chestnut is a beautiful brown that looks good on a lot of different people. Stone is an incredibly unique taupe that allows for creative work. Highly recommend.
MAC Lip Pencil | Whirl, Nightmoth, Cork, Chestnut & Spice Lip Liners

The best concealers!
One of my top concealers for mature (and non), normal and dry skin. It lays beautifully over skin care, keeps the area hydrated while providing full coverage. Creaseless when properly set with translucent powder.
HY‑Glam Concealer – Luminous Matte Full‑Coverage Wear
Waterproof, creaseless and full coverage concealer that works best on oily skin. Higher price point but very worth it since only a really small amount is needed to provide full coverage. It dries completely waterproof so it must be buffed in quickly.
Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer | 16 Hour Wear
Affordable concealer that provides really nice coverage and dries down to an almost waterproof formula. Can be easily blended with a brush or sponge without looking cakey. Nice range of colors with few shades that can be used as color correctors, as ...
SEPHORA COLLECTION Concealer
Absolutely one of my favorite concealers ever. Very hydrating during the application, it dries down to a flexible, waterproof formula without looking cakey. Extremely different range of colors, this product is made with professional artists in mind. ...
