Love the design!

This is one of my fave things I use for travel! II think it's so cute and actually fits quite a lot in it. I can tend to over pack when it comes to makeup but this is perfect for a long weekend trip because it helps me stream line at the same time as fitting everything I need! I love that each lip is a celebrity lip print too! So clever!

Holy Grail for Full coverage foundation!!!

For days that I need a full coverage foundation that is going to stay flawless for 15 hours then this is my go to! I've ever road tested this at Disneyland! My skin still looked great in photos at the end of the night with no touch ups and no foundation break down! It's quite buildable but with a damp beauty blender you can sheer it out and it I use it with the Cover fx cream foundation brush then I don't need any concealer. I also like to use p60 for a cream contour! It has spf 30 and I haven't notices any issues with flash back but I don't use this on set or for brides. I love that this is good for all skin types and because it does not contain the Inflammatory Five: gluten, mineral oil, fragrance, parabens or talc it won't cause break outs or skin congestion!

Pouch perfection!

First off I love anything with a monogram on it! It's classy and timeless and is just plain fun! This bag is great because it's so roomy and it has a waterproof liner on the inside which makes it the ideal travel pouch for toiletries or frequent swimmers! There is room for all your liquids for travel and it is also roomy enough to transplant wet bathing suits! It's size is great too because it is quite roomy but will also help curb those with a tendency to over pack! :)

Pro kit essential

As a MUA you constantly have to make sure you are diligent in keeping your makeup clean and sanitized. It's crucial to sanitize everything including your powder products to prevent the risk of infection. I love the Beauty so clean makeup sanitizer because it only takes 10 seconds to get cosmetics clean, bacteria-free, and safe—and the process won’t change the way a product works. I love being able to kill bacteria with a chemical free product as well. In regards to the brush cleaner it's not meant for deep cleaning. It's just for spot cleaning while you are working. Of course it's not going to take all the foundation off your brush...that requires a proper brush cleaning. But this will disinfect it and take a lot of the product off the brush. Works best if you use it before the product has dried into the brush hair and I use an old soft towel or a paper towel with it. Additionally it doesn't have a strong scent so it's appropriate for use on set.

Best for spot cleaning and sanitizing

I used this on an ongoing makeup job where we were working on a lot of people and had to quickly clean and sanitize our brushes in between clients. We were using Japanese hand crafted brushes in addition to Charlotte Tilburys brushes and this worked on both. It's made with food grade alcohol so it won't strip brushes but still sanitizes them. If you are using Wayne Goss of Chikuhodo brushes then you need to clean them as gently as possibly since they are made from goat and squirrel and you want to them to retain their softness. I found that it worked best when you sprayed it into a paper towel and wiped the brushes down that way. For spot cleaning a foundation brush you will need more product and I suggest spraying it directly on the brush hair, taking care not to overly saturate it.

Clearly created by a makeup artist!

I love it when makeup artists are clever enough to solve their own problems! We are constantly mixing shades and never have enough hands to hold everything!

I love using this on jobs and everyone always comments on how cute the bow design is! I mean who doesn't love a bow!!!!

Airbrush finish!!

This is the most finely milled pressed powder I have found. It's so soft and buttery and a little dust of this on your t zone and around the nose will give you the airbrushed finish that the product is named for. It melts into your skin, is considered long wear and doesn't cake or flake off. For fair to medium the #3 is beautiful for a warm contour shade. I would like to see more of a shade range from her in the future.

Perfect for the girl on the go!

Dark Pearl and Amber Haze have become my go to eye products for days where I am on the run and don't have time for a full eye look. I scribble Dark Pearl on the lid and blend up into my crease with my ring finger, smudge some under my lower lash line, put some mascara on and can basically run out the door with a complete eye look. I always have people ask me what is on my eyes when I wear these. Work one eye at a time though because once they set they are there for good. Also Charlotte uses the word "bedazzle" to describe these...That should clue you in as to the level of sparkle... As with any eye color product I suggest using an eye primer! I personally like the cover fx primer!

Tame, fill and highlight those brows!

I have a love hate relationship with my brows...I get that they are sisters and not twins but I sure wish the one on the right wouldn't act like the evil sister! This product has made it super easy to get my brow game on point! I love the angle of the color product and feel like Cara D is a great match to my dark hair. It's a soft product so you can make short feathery strokes while you fill in your brows. It's super handy to have the spoolie attached so you can blend as you fill in making sure you don't end up with over drawn harsh brows! I love that Charlotte is all about a natural full brown instead of those horrible angular harsh brows that seem to be all over instagram! I'm not as crazy about the shimmer highlight because I like a matte brow bone highlight but it is pretty to dot a bit of that in the inner corner to wake the eye up!

Brushes are an investment! This is a brush saver!

I bought the mini brush tree as soon as I saw it come out. I immediately knew that this is the product I have been needing for years! No more jimmy rigging my brushes with rubber bands and hangers to dry them so they hang upside down and no more taking up every square inch of the dining room table while my brushes are laying flat to dry for hours. Honestly this is a brilliant invention and saves me a ton of time and wear and tear on my brushes! Now I just wash them, slip on the brush guards and pop them in from the underside to dry them. Now most of them are dry within an hour and come out looking brand new and in perfect condition. And I never have to worry about water seeping into the brush ferrule again! *** make sure you place and remove your brushes from the underside. Never shove your brush through the top!!!***
