Quick and Easy
This is in my Kit for all kind of exergencys. Your Model got a pimple? The Actor has a little tattoo? Your celebrity client had a partynight and has to look amazing? This little think will cover every inperfection. You have to think about complementary colors: So for red spots you use the green concealer, for tattoos a white and then a more peach color on top and to give the face a fresher look use the purple colored camouflage. Also because of the sice very handy for the pro-kit. Highly recommended!
This is THE ONE.
Okay, if f.e. God would come up to me and tell me I just can have one Brush for the rest of my life, THIS would be the one! You´ll never find an other brush who can do so many different things besides blending beautifully. I have about 6 in my Kit and with Brush Guards they stay in shape for a couple of years. Only little downside, because the bristels are white, after a couple of uses you can clean them like you want, they will change a little off white and can look dirty, even if they are not. If there is only one person who never tried this brush, go NOW and buy one, you´ll not regrette it, Highly recommended!
Best on Movie & Photo Sets...
As a Makeup Artist you allways have to touch up on sets of Photoshootings or Movie Productions, but to go there with a loose Powder is the worst idea you could have. The loose Powder will fly on and also into the teniqual equipment and I promiss you will never get booked again. And this is why Blot Powder from MAC is one of the most important items in my set-kit. It will matte the parts you won´t have shine without flying all over the place. Also it will stay on quite long. Highly recommended!
What an amazing black BUT...
This is the most black mascara you will ever find. I use this on allmost every shooting. You have two opportunitys of how to style your lashes, naturally or dramatically! I just have two little downsides with this mascara. 1. It gives you no curl, what is not a problem for me because I use Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler anyway (they are the best), but some womes want to have a little help. 2. There is no way you don´t have to combing through the lashes after you used the bigger brush. So I would normally give 5*****, but MAC could reshape the bigger brush to give volumen but also define the lashes at the same time. But I would highly recommend this mascara to everybody! Worth every penny....
You can´t get wrong with a MAC one...
There are not many brands in this world who offer that many different colors and textures of lipstick like M.A.C does. Even that I depot them all for my Kit, they don´t change the texture and payoff. I also like the Vanilla sense of the lipsticks. Can´t tell you, whats my favorite color is, there are too many. And extra + point for getting a free lipstick with the back2mac program. Thumbs UP!
My Kit-Foundation
As an MUA u have to think about a Foundation that suites a lot of skintypes and also is available in many colors. This is my absolut favorit foundation. Because I do a lot of magazinshootings and fashionshows I just can say about how the foundation lasts for a couple of hours but this foundation photographes beautifully and looks amazing on stage or camera. Highly recommended!
The best for Photoshootings
I use High Beam allways for giving my model a high shine on the high points of the face. This days it´s allways about the skin and we, as Makeup Artist, have to give the models the healthy glow. I had tried lots of different shine products, but no other product gives me this amazing natural finish and a shine and not glitter effect. Also, with good techniques, can use on every skintypes and colors. Highly recommended!
