The trail of a makeup artist

WHAT’S IN MY BAG? This is a typical conversation when I meet someone new: “What do you do?” “I am a makeup artist.” “Oh funny, you don’t wear much makeup yourself.” “Well a little, it just looks natural. Besides caring for my own face is the last thing I think of when I am at work.” Another typical observation: most of my makeup artist friends are big naturalists when it comes to their own grooming. Maybe it’s a trend. Maybe it’s a coincidence. So going back to the typical conversation above, yes I do wear makeup. In fact, I am going to show you what I have in my cosmetic bag dated today February 10, 2010. Neutrogena Oil-Free Fresh Moisture: my friend Vannesa (not a typo) introduced me to this product. It’s great as a base and day/night moisturizer. Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment: not kidding, 99% of makeup artists have this in their kits primarily used as lip balm. Cinema Secrets Cream Foundation in 302-65A: I also use this brand professionally. Apply with finger tips, sponge or foundation brush. Please note that the shade in photo below is not 302-65A. Chanel Soft Pressed Powder in Mimosa: takes the shine away and leaves the skin natural looking. Maybelline Twin Brow & Eye Pencils in Black: price is right and does the job beautifully. Cargo Smoky Eyeliner Duo in Brazil: includes 1 powder eyeliner and 1 cream eyeliner. Wear single for natural feel. Combine the two for dramatic, out and about look. L’Oréal Telescopic Clean Definition mascara in Blackest Black: one of the best I tried on my thin and short lashes. Escents Aroma Blend in Hoola: gets many compliments.
