Five for Firday- Kit Wishlist 4 Makeup Forever

 



This week I am going to do another brand focused wish list of 5 products from Makeup Forever.

Makeup Forever is a Parisian cosmetics line that was created for makeup artists by Dany Sanz in 1984, it has since become now for it HD foundation and powder along with it's waterproof Aqua range. Currently it is still quite hard to get hold of in the UK only being sold at Guru Makeup Emporium and Precious About Makeup, however this is all about to change as Debenhams is rumoured to be stocking a selected range from this spring.

The products I would like to try from MUFE (Makeup Forever) are:

The newly reformulated eye shadows that come in 210 colours and 5 finishes (matte, metallic, iridescent, diamond and satin). They are bigger than a MAC eye shadow which I believe are a inch across whereas the MUFE shadow is 1.5 inches across and the formula is meant to be amazing. The are £12.50 from here or £13.50 for a refill pan available here and in a compact for £18.50 here. Is it bad that if I could I would have them all?

 

The Aqua Lip pencils that are waterproof and transfer resistant when they have set, they are also saliva resistant and come in a variety of shades from purple to orange to red and the perfect nude. They are available here from Precious About Makeup for £13.50. For bridal these would be perfect because you want long lasting products that go from morning to late into the evening if not beyond.

 

 



 

 

 

The next product I would like to add to my bridal kit from Makeup Forever are the Aqua Eyes pencil which are a similar formula to the Urban Decay 24/7 liners and cheaper too. They come in classic colours as well as the brighter ones that can be used to add a pop of colour. They are available here for £13.95. They are also really good for bridal makeup as they are waterproof which is good for when a few tears start flowing and they will last a long time without smudging until you decide to take it off.

 

 

 

The next products I would like to add to my kit from Makeup Forever are the HD cream blushes, these would be perfect for my kit because cream blush looks amazing on more mature or dry skin and when layered under a powder blush you create a blush that looks more radiant and natural but that last a long time too, again perfect for bridal makeup. The pro pans are available here for £15.50 and the compact with a mirror is available here for £21.95. 

 

 

 

The last product by them I would like to add to my kit are the Aqua Creams which can be used as a waterproof eye shadow, eye liner, cream blush or lip colour. They can be found here for £18.25 or they also come in a chubbier stick for £16.95 here.



 

I want to add products to my bridal makeup kit that are versatile and long wearing so my clients don't have to worry about the look lasting. I also want to assure my clients that I use the best products I can that have been tested to UK cosmetic standards, that aren't cheap imports from China and that all my brushes and products are kept sanitary.

 

Thanks for reading,

Five for Friday - Kit Wish list 2

This week my five products on my kit wish list are all to do with airbrushing, with the products mainly coming from Temptu.

I want to buy from Temptu as most of the artists I've talked to online and in person have recommended their products especially the S/B and Dura ranges.

I want to start buying the S/B range of airbrush products for my kit first, S/B stands for Silicone Based which is perfect for bridal makeup artistry because it is a long lasting formula withstanding tears and sweat but still provides a natural, soft focus, dewy and youthful finish that is suitable for all skin types. Temptu state that their silicone based airbrush formula is the best in the market and I've heard the same from many independent artists from around the globe.

To start airbrushing I will need a compressor and gun, again I have been researching different companies and IWATA have been the one that people have liked the best, as they have been making them for many uses not just for the cosmetic industry for years. They also come with a 5 year warranty which makes you feel at ease.

I would want the IWATA Silver jet compressor which is available here for £119.99 because it is suitable for mobile or occasional use up to around 4 times a day. It isn't that expensive for a airbrush but if I realised I was airbrushing more then I would upgrade to a higher performance airbrush.

I would also need and airbrush and one of the ones that is recommended to go with this machine is the IWATS revolution BR which is available here for £99.99. It is suitable for makeup application which is what I need, I would get a 2nd and maybe a third, one as a backup and one for if I started to use the Temptu Dura range which is alcohol based, so for each formulation I would have a different brush to reduce the risk of them clogging up.







 







 

 

The main purpose of airbrushing is to create a flawless base so therefore the first piece of makeup I would need for my airbrush kit would be foundations and I would choose the Temptu S/B range, you can get a starter pack of 12 1/4 fluid ounce bottles of the foundation from here for £61.25 and then as you start to run out buy the full 1 fluid once bottles here for £21.05, this not only makes sure you only buy the full sized bottles of the colours you use most often but the 1/4 fluid oz. would be refilled to keep your kit compact.



 

 

I would then also get the 8 piece blush and highlight starter pack here for £42.11, or the single full size bottles of blush are available here and the highlighters are here both retailing at £21.05 to give a fresh dewy look and a natural blush for brides.

 

The finally for my last product in my 5 that I would need is the adjusters to correct and change colours if I had a client who's skin tone didn't match any of my premixed foundations or to create a new blush colour. These are available here for £38.28 and the full sized bottles are available here for £21.05. 



 

www.impet2us.co.uk/ is the cheapest place in the UK without a pro discount to get Temptu makeup from, I will hopefully be buying a airbrush system at IMATS in July, hopefully with a discount as all this without any discount would come to £361.62!

 

Thank you for reading this weeks Five for Friday.
