Hi everybody! So I just started doing freelance makeup where I live. I am working with some local photographers and I am going to do the makeup for my best friends wedding. Any tips and what products you recommend? I have been searching for a good brush set I just can't determine which one would be best.

Thank you Gen! I will look into those articles and the cream foundations. I'm so excited for everyone's advice and looking forward to sharing some of the customers I'm going to be working with (:

Yes, please look into professional HD face products! They are super important for photos and film. Brushes I would look into Sigma, Crown Brush and DBellium Tools. I personally use Cinema Secrets foundation palettes but I know people that love the Graftobian ones as well. Go to CameraReadyCosmetics.com for any professional makeup for your kit!

When it comes to brushes, definitely find a beauty store and look at the brushes they carry. It's good to feel them and make sure you like it. I've also bought Crown Brushes and I love them. I got a set for $25 at IMATS and it's one of the best purchases I've made.

Fatimah: look up Greene Street beauty on YouTube and Facebook. They just made an awesome video about finding work as an artist.

If you got an ulta get the real technique sets. inmykit.com has some great reviews on brushes. Crownbrush.com has full sets that are usually bought by beauty school students. If you can get Graftobian! I am going to invest in their sample where its the airbrush and matching cream foundations. they're on sale for $19.99 on camerareadycosmetics.com I would just say if you do get that to get the ultra light palette for further mixing. the airbrush foundations I read can be sheered out and used with a beauty blender or stippling brush for the airbrushed look without the air brush kit. hope this helps.
