[Lula-Mae Famous]

I model part time and have worked with many different make-up artists and stylists over the years. I have learned so much from them.

I saw the post on BE make up and wanted to give my input and also ask what your input is. What is your favorite make up product? What left you disappointed? and why?

Personal Make-up:

Bare Essentials: Mineral Make-up
When I tested this at their boutique I actually left with slightly red/irritated skin.

Jane Iredale: Mineral Make-up
JI is also great for sensitive skin and I love the full coverage their mineral loose powder offers. I highly recommend their primer. In fact I dont think you get the full effect of their make up unless you test out their primer too.
Their cream eyeliner is amazing!

I will not be buying any more Jane Iredale (except their primer and liner) as I can't wear it when modeling (I need to do my own styling on occasion) because mineral make-up leaves "steaks" in photos from the shimmer of the minerals. I also want to look my best in photos while out with my friends If im going to drop $ on make up it might as well be the best.

Modeling Make-up

Secret Weapon.... Make Up For Ever - HD Translucent Powder
Available at Sephora. It is a very very very fine powder that is pretty much "photoshop in person" I set my foundation with this powder every time I wear makeup. Not only is it wonderful for digital photos (not so great with film) it looks amazing in person.
Tip: If it lightens your skin or leaves white behind, mist face with mineral water.

Right now I use Bobbi Brown Foundation. Bobbi Brown specializes in natural colors aka: foundation/powder

I am waiting for FACE atelier foundation samples. FA foundation is supposed to be wonderful for aged skin/dry skin. Ok, I'm not that old yet but every little bit helps :P

MAC - color color color!!! When using any type of color, blush, eye shadow, lip Mac will always be my go-to. it photos in true color.

Make-up remover: I do have a heavy duty make-up remover but for the most part I use olive oil to remove my make up.
