Multi-use, staple in my MUA kit

This is a must for all MUA. I apply it during the skin prep phase of any makeup application on models, brides or clients. I also use it for mens grooming instead of wax on brows. For editorial looks, I have used over shadow to give a nice glossy look. I will advise, that looks requires touch ups.

For personal use, I apply on my cuticles and hands over night.

My favorite mascara!

This is by far my favorite mascara. The synthetic brush allows for super curl, separation and lenthening. It truely does it all. I read how many women thought it was too clumpy and thick but I think it is just perfect. It gives as much volume as you prefer, one coat is good for length, separation and defining. Two coats is good for all of the above and a third coat gives extra va-voom volume and curl. This mascara is great because it leaves a patent leather shine to lashes that has people wondering if your lashes are real or not. 80)

The rounded tip like the Givenchy is like the icing on the cake! For best results, wiggle wand as close to the base of your lashes and extend out. Do this for each set of your lashes either once or twice. Lastly position the wand upright and with rounded end up to lift and curl lashes.

Cute Packaging

This color blush works for just about anyone. I like the fact that it has shimmer in it similar to La Bamba but more peachy/orange. I think this blush looks fabulously when sporting a natural look with simply mascara, peachy-coral gloss and Coralista! Also looks wonderful with a brown or black smokey eye.

I wouldnt carry it in my MUA kit because it has too much shimmer and not ideal for mature clients.

Must be used over Stay Don't Stray

I am going to start with the pros. It does have a corrector incorporated in it already so it corrects and conceals. It is very concentrated so a little definitely goes a long way and can be long lasting.

Now, for the cons, the darkest color isnt all that dark and could not be used on women with dark tones. Wish there was a bit more of a variety in terms of dark colors. For my personal opinion, it is too thick. Also, not ideal for those women who just want to wear concealer and run out the house. You do need some type of foundation either liquid or powder to blend any noticeable usage of it.

In regards to it not staying on for long, its best when you use an eye cream as every woman should use with or without concealer. Let sit, then apply Benefit's: "Stay Don't Stray" eye shadow and concealer primer. Then, follow with Erase Paste.

My favorite eyeshadow primer of all time!

This crease-proof shadow primer is my favorite to use on myself and also carry it in my makeup kit. It is the best primer by far in my opinion because it goes on easily on the lids without having to rub on. It works well for all skin colors and skin types. It is light weight and downs cake, crease or budge. It provides a perfect base for powder shadows, cream shadows and even plain on the lids to prepare for a cat eye liner.

Great as shadow base or for under water makeup/photography

I love these cream shadows but must admit that if a beginner were to use and do not blend quickly, they might find themselves with a non-blended look because they dry quickly. Also, when you use make sure to cover and open when you are ready to obtain more product. On the pro side of this product, it is sweat proof, budge-proof and smudge proof. You can use this at a club or wear in tropical climate. **On a side note, start with a small amount and build for more color and intensity.

A MUST for MUAS and makeup aficionados

This palette is a staple and must in my MUA kit. I use these colors to create one of a kind lip colors, correct imperfections such as redness, sallow skin, orange skin from too much tanning, as eye shadow base, liners and for other creative uses for editorial makeup. I used it as a red eye shadow and lipstick over a primer for a magazine editorial.

Great for the every day woman and SUPER for MUAs

This foundation is fabulous because it already has silicone incorporated in it so it glides on easily. The light reflecting particles in this HD foundation works wonders for fashion and beauty photography. I reccomend #117, #128 & #178 for beginning MUAs to carry in their kits and custom create colors out of those three. I used MUFE HD foundation on the model in the photo attached.

Absolute must for every woman!

I purchased one for personal use and had to get a second one for my kit. I usually do not use blush with shimmer for editorial shoots but I do on my everyday woman clients! It is fabulous and colors can be mixed to create custom colors. I also love the fact that it has Casino blush because it works better than Laguna for all skin colors!

A must for brides and also for MUAs!

I personally do not use this foundation for myself because it already has silicone in it but I do use them in my professional makep kit. The coverage is great and is buildable. The colors I use in my kit are: 118, 128, 153, 175, 177. You can pretty much make any color with these. You do not need 153 but it is one of my favorite and I find that it matches many light colored ethnic women, Middle Eastern and Latina women.
