Perfect skin protection!!

Living in LA it's essential to have year round sun protection. I like this primer because in addition to the sun protection it also enhances my makeup application by protecting, hydrating, and smoothing skin to blur the appearance of fine lines and pores. I never put foundation on without a primer first. It's essential to keep your pores clean and protected from absorbing your makeup. The fact that it blurs fine lines and pores at the same time is a fantastic bonus! Thankfully it's formulated with safe-to-use broad-spectrum organic sunscreens so you don't have to worry about what kind of toxic chemicals you are absorbing while wearing this. Also worth noting is that it's a vegan primer and free of the inflammatory five which are: parabens, fragrance, gluten, mineral oil, and talc. I love that I can trust Cover FX as a brand to create products that actually work without using harmful ingredients.

The only moisturizer I use in my pro kit

This is the Holy Grail of all moisturizer for me! Prepping the skin with this makes foundation application flawless every time. I regularly have clients comment that even without makeup on they feel like their skin looks better than it normally does.

For long flights and international travel I will put this on bare skin right before I board my flight to protect it from all the dry recycled air. It's a great way to ensure your skin stays nourished and looks fresh after hours on a plane. There is nothing worse than landing somewhere beautiful with dull tired "airplane skin".

Holy grail for BB creams!

My BB Cream motto used to be "I've never met a BB Cream that I liked". That all changed when I started using this one! I love that it mattifies my skin and provides a smooth finish while still looking like skin. If you are acne prone then this is great because of the specific anti-blemish properties. While I'm not acne prone I have combo to oily skin and I need some serious help along my T-zone to mattify and keep my makeup from sliding all over my face. I have also noticed that this calms down the reddness I have on my cheeks to even out my skin tone. My favorite way to apply this is with either the #10 Wayne Goss brush for a sheer airbrushed finish or the to use the Cover FX liquid foundation brush to buff it in for a more buildable coverage. Either way will keep the product from settling into fine lines and ensures a nice finish. For longevity I will also use the anti aging primer and set it with a light dusting of powder. If I don't set it I get about 7 hours of wear time before it breaks down. If I set it then I can get about 12 hours out of it.

A perfect partner to the Blemish Treatment primer

I have this synthetic brush specifically to use with the Cover FX Blemish Treatment primer. The real selling point for me is that brush fibers have been treated with an antimicrobial formula for a hygienic product application. Which is a great way to keep out any secondary infection from happening while you are trying to treat (annihilate) acne. It's small so perfect for spot treatment and making sure the product is applied only where you need it. It's easy to wash and dries quickly. I use the London Brush Company soap to clean it.

Super fast blemish killer!!!!

Ok...let me first start off by saying I am grateful to have clear skin...hond on don't throw tomatoes at me just yet! Because while my skin is clear 99% of time there are a few days out of the month that all of a sudden the biggest underground acne spots set up camp and poise themselves to torture me! I'm talking about the ones under the surface that actually hurt your face and cause that area to swell and turn bright red...yep those ones! So I was happy to find a product that not only work at killing the volcanic eruption otherwise known as acne but that it would also protect my skin while it was treating it I was all in! Here's the deal...you get a zit...you pick at it make it all angry and then you put makeup all over it to hide it...well that poor irritated spot of skin needs to be protected from makeup! Makeup can cause further irritation and infection as well as add to the congestion in that area. So the Cover FX Blemish Treatment Primer puts a nice little barrier over that angry little spot on you skin to protect it while it destroys the zit.

Bottom line: the minute I start feeling a zit coming on I spot treat it morning noon and night with this treatment primer and instead of it taking 5 days to go away and return to normal it typically only takes 24 hours of treating it!! Miracles are possible!!

Skin care benefits and eye shadow that stays all day!!!

I have been using the Cover FX eye primer for about 6 months and have found that it lives up to its treat and prime claims. I have tried everything from TooFace shadow insurance to NARS eye primer. I was drawn to it for the anti-aging claims since my eye lids are a little looser than they used to be. I was really looking for something that would help smooth them out and provide a more flawless texture to enhance my eye shadow. It's been really helpful in de-puffing and soothing the tired and dry skin around my eyes. I use it as a 360 degree primer and love that it helps smooth out the fine lines underneath my eye as well. I also find that it works well to create a base for cream and powder shadows. I apply it right after I moisturize my face because I think it works best when it has a few minutes to "set". This has become my go to for personal and professional use. On another note a little goes a long way and I feel like you get your moneys worth since it's a full 20 ml. The size also makes it easy to travel with. :)

Some of my favorite eye brushes! I reach for them everyday!!!

These are Superior quality brushes and after using Japanese hand crafted brushes you won't want to use anything else! Wayne has really lifted the bar in terms of brushes and while these are a splurge they are some of my Holy Grail brushes!!
