Skin Care: For me, good skin is crucial for great makeup.

For Makeup Remover Alcone Makeup Remover Cloths take off even the toughest makeup in the most gentle way; with no residue left behind. Youngblood Minerals In the Mist is a great toner and brings the skin to a perfect pH level preparing the face for moisture. Embryolisse Lait Crème is the cult favorite moisturizer of Makeup Artists and Make Up For Ever HD Elixir is an innovative elixir that instantly hydrates the skin. They are two of my favorite products for prepping the skin in any situation. Nurturing Force Blotting Paper helps my clients keep their perfect complexion for the entire day.

Foundations and Concealer: Foundations also need to be versatile for me to carry them in my kit. Cream foundation is my favorite for most applications. It allows for coverage that ranges from sheer to super full and replaces the need for concealer. I love the Mehron Celebre Pro and Kett Fixx Foundations.

Kryolan Shimmering Vision Cream Base Eye Shadow Palette is ideal for artists at is allows an endless array of colors. Make Up For Ever Flash Color Case is always in my kit and allows countless possibilities for creating anything from foundation and color corrector to eye, lip and cheek color.
