Make-up artists: let's share tips!

I wondered how make up artists rate no 7? Would you class it as a high end brand and are there any favourite products? I had noticed Michelle Keegans make up artist used a no 7 lipgloss on her lips [emoji5]️

I'm personally not a fan of their foundations, I find their colour range quite dark & the ones I've tried oxidised & didn't leave a nice finish. But their glosses are lovely.
I wouldn't say it's a high end brand, more high street but if you find something you like working with, you get good results and the client is happy then go for it id say. x

I use either two coats of Mac Pro Longwear for drier skins or Estee Lauder Double Wear for a full coverage.

Yeh its 50%+ pigment, the rest is waxes etc. so its definitely got the colour! I think its a bit tricky to work with.

I've not used Mac Pro long wear before, is it worth it ? I use my makeup forever on drier skin and that seems to work good.
I loved double wear for years but realised I was getting that flashback, has it changed maybe ?

It is really tricky to work with ! Lol still trying to find different ways to get most out of it x

I'll put a picture of an image of a bride that I did and the picture was taken with flash and you can see what the flashback is like, I used the MAC pro longwear on her with is SPF 10 (same as double wear)

In my opinion I think the flashback is minimal but you can let me know what you think.

I didn't get on too well with the MUFE HD but thats probably just my skin I am so dry and dehydrated.

My friend is a photographer and she'd actually never heard of or experienced flashback and shes done 150 weddings!

What do you think about flashback? Also got a very interesting read for you I will post in next post!

 

[SallyGirlJojo]

What do you use to set your double wear? I'm a bit reluctant to try it on anyone because of flashback. x

Read this very interesting! Xx

Has anyone ever heard of applying a thin layer of Mac face and body over the top of double wear to maybe help with the flash back ?

Would be interesting to see if this works I might test it out. Although I'd imagine double wear is heavy enough on the skin never mind with another layer of foundation!

That article was so interesting, great explanation!

 

[Sally1982]

Oh yeah I know I just remember reading somewhere that if someone wanted the coverage and staying power of double wear that applying a very light amount of face and body wud help with how it photographs I don't have either foundations at moment to try it out I'm just looking at all my options while trying to build a kit lol X

Hi. I haven't been on here for a while.

I am in the process of building up my makeup kit & would like to use Estee Lauder Long Wear Foundation.

As there are so many colours, which 4 colours would you suggest I purchase to begin with. TIA

Can anyone suggest an alternative to Eldora lashes H167 please ? I've attached pic of them if don't know what they look like.
Thanks x

Can anyone help me. I seem to be getting quite a few dehydrated ladies in for makeup lately. The makeup I'm using seems to just not look smooth Even when I really prime.
Is there anything I'm missing ? Any tips ? A preferable primer ?
Cheers x

I use Embryolisse cream as a moisturiser/primer on drier skins. That stuff is a god send [emoji119] x

Thank you I may have to get some. I've been mixing a little bit of oil with my foundation but it still seems to sit. I always believe in a actual primer though lol maybe get the cream and then a primer ? I've not tried hydra veil yet, may get that aswell and try out on my sis in law x

Less is more when it comes to dry skin (I have reeeeeallly dry skin). Lighter coverage, less buffing (I use my fingers and a beauty blender) and making sure the skin is well prepped. Exfoliated and moisturised.

 

[ParissD]

Thanks Salj, but what if a lady says she wants full coverage ? I have quite a few who say this lol I don't actually use my beauty blender with dry skin only for the concealer blending, good idea thanks x

I used to use hydra veil but since using the Embryolisse I don't find I have the need for it anymore.

Honestly I thought the same as you when I first bought it about also needing a primer but you really don't need it. Try it and see. Xx

See it's all cracked ? I've tried looking on website I got it but nothing's showing, do you think I should contact them ? X

Did you get this replaced? Shouldn't look like that at all x
