'In my Kit' Professional make up artist - Foundations

Following on from my primer blog, here is a list of my foundation products that I keep in my professional make up kit;

For most people's base I use HD ready 24 colour Supercover mineral to cream foundation palette - £200.00

Not only does this include all coloured foundations from white through to Asian and Black skin tones with a variation of different pink and yellow undertones but it also has a corrector wheel in the middle which I mainly use for contouring, highlighting and shading.

On top of my foundation palette, I also carry an extra 3 pots of my most popular foundation colour so that I never run out. The large pots of foundation colour are £28.00 each.

Because not everyone has the same skin, I also keep 4 different colours of Kryolan Liquid foundation in my kit at £13.75 each - This foundation can be applied as fine or thick as needs be for your perfect finish.

I also keep both the medium and light coloured BB creams in my kit for clients who do not like to wear foundation as they still need something on their face to even out their skin tone and the finish of the BB cream is perfect. £9.99 each

Lastly, I keep a Kryolan Simmering event foundation in my kit £23.15 which is perfect for more mature skins, leaving a natural dewy glow to finish.

Total price spent on foundations - £382.13

Do I need all these foundations in my kit? - YES! I need to have an entire selection of colours for all of my clients plus I need various types of foundations for my clients skin tones. We are all different and unique and foundation sits differently on people's skin.

Foundation is the most important part of any ones make up - If your base doesn't look perfect, your make up will not look perfect, simple as that!

Once again, I expect most of my foundations to last up to 1 year, but I may need to replace the most popular colours more often. BB creams and shimmering foundation normally last up to 6 months so need replacing more often.

Total yearly spend on foundations - £453.26

British Heart Foundation Wear It Beat It Campaign

It was really great to be the hair and make-up artist for the new British Heart Foundation campaign - Wear It. Beat It 2017 - https://wearitbeatit.bhf.org.uk This was a two day photoshoot working with a wonderful team from Killer Creative marketing agency. On the first day I worked with heart survivor's, consultants and surgeons which was great as I got to listen to a lot of amazing stories that people were happy to share. In fact, this is one of the favourite parts of my work - getting to hear about other people's lives and the fact that people want share with me. On the second day, a lot of male, female and children models arrived to have their hair and make-up done so that the British Heart Foundation had a variety of photos to share for their next big advertising campaign. I really enjoyed being a member of the team that created photos for this campaign for the British Heart Foundation and look ...

How to cover up a tattoo using Camouflage creams

As a cosmetic camouflage practitioner I get asked to cover up scars, burn marks, port wine stains, birth marks, broken capillaries, Rosacea, eczema and all other skin conditions and discolourations. When I am doing a wedding, I often get asked to cover up a tattoo or two! Below I will outline how you can cover up your own tattoo using Cosmetic camouflage creams. There are many creams available on the market, my product of choice is Dermacolor by Kryolan - this is endorsed by many companies including British Association of British Camouflage and Skin Camouflage Network. Some of the products are also available on Prescription if your doctor gives you a prescription for the product - otherwise you can buy it direct from Charles H Fox. 1. - tattoo before any cosmetic camouflage creams have been applied. 2. If the tattoo is black, you need to apply a red colour on top of the black to neutralise the colour - I apply the product using a lip brush or liner brush....
