The World of Makeup

Yeah, Makeup is a HUGE passion for me and what started me in my endevor as a skin care specialist as well! I bet working in the Bay Area is amazing. I Love it up there. I'm excited to see what discussion we will get going :)

Anyone do any fun Halloween makeup? I did this Sugar Skull look for a friend.

I am an esthetician and need to purchase a line of cosmetics. Has anyone tried Motives make-up with Shop.com.

Hope to hear back from you, really soon.

I'm an esthetician looking for a makeup line to use for bridal makeup.  I was thinking about Motives cosmetics.  Does anyone have any recommendations that don't require a huge starting investment? I currently use airbrush and brands like MAC, Ben Nye, Urban Decay.  Trying to revamp for the new year and looking for a mineral makeup line.

I love Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup and it has the Skin Caner Foundations stamp of approval!

I've read a lot of good reviews for Jane Iredale makeup.  I am a solo esthetician, so I thought that might be too expensive for me.  I know there's a lot of Glominerals in my area, so I was looking for something different.

Hello everyone, I have my own practice and have my own private label skin care and makeup. I do photography and bridal makeup in addition to special occasion makeup. I have hardly sold any makeup but my skincare line is very successful. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to generate more makeup sales? 

Hi I thought of using Motives the line looks good however I contacted them and what makes me nervous its one of those multi level marketing companies and I do not want  to get involved in that. Try Lady Burd cosmetics its private label and they have been around for a long time. It was suggested to me by a make up artist who works on television shows

Hi Everyone, I am a skin care specialist & make-up artist in NJ. I specialize in airbrush make up for bridal. My favorite line is OCC - Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics with MAC for back up. I also like Kett cosmetics. I also do face painting for charity, special events, childrens parties & Halloween. 

Hello fellow pros! Any body got any recommendations for mascara? The most recent one ive used is benefit and im not too impressed. Any feedback would be great!

Hi Victoria.  I have tried just about every mascara there is, among them Benefit.  I am with you.  I was not impressed either.  But I always go back to one mascara and that is BE buxom.  It has a beautiful brush and I have never had a problem with the formula clumping on the lashes

I am a fan of Definicils by Lancome. (the original one)

So I had a makeup audition today for freelancing. I got it!!! Yaay! But....what is a good start off brand though. I have coastal scents and bodyography so far. What are great lines but pocket friendly for starters?

Congratulations! I use Audrey Morris Private Lable Products and I love them. They carry a Total Coverage Foundation that's great for Stage and TV. Lady Buryd also carries a lot of products that professional makeup artist use. Good luck!

Wow! Thanks! I thought about Audrey Morris Products! Ok I'll give her a try!

hello Makeup lovers!

Is anyone going to Imats L.A or the L.A Makeup Show?

Hi, I use Your Name for my BB Cream, it's a good formula!

SeneGence for all my foundation & color especially the Lip Color because it's so long lasting!

Qosmedix for my brushes! It's fun to play!

Check out Kett Cosmetics, I purchased their equipment and received initial training.  Once you have the airbrush there are many companies to choose from; Temptu is great, I believe MAC carries a line of airbrush makeup.
