What I Purchased at the LA Makeup Show

Have you ever been to Heaven? I have...Makeup Heaven! I attended The Makeup Show in LA by The Powder Group and I must say it was FABULOUS! If you are a Makeup Artist like me or just a makeup junkie, you would have enjoyed it! Check out what I spent all of my money on:

Embryolisse Lait- Creme Concentre

Apparently this is a staple and every Makeup Artists' dream product. Embryolisse Lait- Creme Concentre is a primer, moisturizer and cleanser all in one and it's absolutely DELISH!

beauty blender

Their Slogan is; "Modernize the Way You Make Up". This innovative sponge, is completely different from anything you have ever seen. It's on the favorite lists of many Makeup Artists across the world. It makes  stippling on your cream foundations easy and the finish application is flawless.

OCC Lip Tars

Highly pigmented, opaque, glossy, long lasting, moisturizing...a MUST have for every Makeup Artist out there!  They are also 100% Vegan and Cruelty Free, THE END!

Colors I purchased: Hush (pale pink), Grandma (coral), NSFW (blood red), Anime (fuchsia pink), Hoochie (magenta)

Mehron Cheek Cream

The Mehron Cheek  Creams are highly pigmented, long lasting and great for highlighting and/or contouring. I purchased: Berry Blush (plum), Pink Coral (coral) and Tawny Pink (muted pink).

Make Up Forever

HD Micro Finish Powder

This amazing 100% silica based powder,  leaves a soft focus finish on the skin on camera and in real life...because life happens in HD.

Aqua Eyes

Have you ever  put your eye liner on and 1 hour later it's running down your cheek or you look like you just got in a fight? Worry no more! MUFE Aqua Eyes pencil takes waterproof to another level! Not only is it a waterproof eye liner, it's also a waterproof eye shadow...talk about double duty!!  By the way, I purchased the Matte Black 0L

Smoky Lash

Smokey Lash is a super black mascara that curls, volumizes and lengthens, Oh My! ...did I mention it's SUPER BLACK, perfect for adding drama to your lashes!

BEST PURCHASE EVER!!!!

#1 FACE ATELIER  Ultra Foundation Pro...all 12 shades!

I don't even know where to begin with this FABULOUS foundation! Ultra Foundation Pro is a FAV amongst Makeup Artists. It is a silicone based foundation that "floats on top of your skin". If you have ever wanted a foundation that looks airbrushed without the machine...this is it! If your one of those people that has a hard time finding the perfect shade, Ultra foundation comes in 10 shades plus 2 shades to lighten or darken your foundation, Zero Plus and Zero Minus. It's like adding white or black to your foundaiton. If it's too dark, add a little Zero Minus, if it's too light, add a little Zero Plus. The Pro line is the Ultra Foundation packaged in plastic bottles which make it better for travel for that Makeup Artist that's on the GO. Please visit www.faceatelier.com for more info on the Ultra Foundation...it's a MUST HAVE!
