are you looking to carry a line exclusively on consignment? or to sell? or are you looking for makeup to use on clients. if you are asking about the former then you should definitely hit up makeup trade shows (IMATS, The makeup show, ISSE etc.) to test and talk to the people who represent the line to see what your options are.

If you are looking to use a particular brand, theres not one that I can recommend. It all depends on your clientele. There are so many brands now that most makeup artists carry a variety in their kit.. For theatrical/brights/pigmentation and staying power I would suggest MUFE, Ben Nye (very affordable), Sugarpill. For more beauty makeup you can look into MUFE, Ben Nye, Nars, MAC, Stila, Bobbi Brown. These brands carry a wide array of face colors, eye colors and products to suit every need. These brands also have pro discounts.

Thank you so much. I am basically just looking for something affordable for my clients to purchase and for me to use for wedding parties, etc... I use to sell Mary Kay so that is all that I have ever used. Don't even know the names of any makeups that are professional lol... So any suggestions would help

well, everything and anything can be used, as long as it works, go to a ulta or sephora near you, and just go and test things and look at the stuff, ulta carries stuff sephora dont, and sephora carries stuff ulta dont, so find stuff that works.
