Would this brush set be a good starter point? X

Crown Brush is always a good starting point - I love them!

I don't suppose there are any make-up artists that also do hair up who are looking for bridal work in Hertfordshire?! I am looking for someone to join my team!!

I never use it but I know Kryolan do a concealer palette that has a green in. I'm sure brands like Ben Nye will have them too. Do you have any pro makeup stores near you that you can go look at?

ah ok

Have a look on Guru makeup emporium or PAM's website. I think makeup forever do one and pros can get a discount on MUFE with those companies. Well definitely with Guru anyway, PAM's might be in store only.

If you can get hold of this for in your kit I would strongly recommend it!
Luckily my husband goes to the states twice a year, it's amazing!
I'm more of a gel pot eyeliner kind of girl, as I feel the pens dry up too quick or the nip is too thick and clumpy, however this one is so fine and it just glides on.
The after photo of this one was taken 8 hours after I applied it. x

How can you have a pen in your kit? That can't be hygienic? Surely cleaning it every time would dry it out.

I was just gonna ask this, how do you sanitise it?

I've never put an eyeliner pen (or liquid liner) in my kit because of this. I use gel liner instead.

Also I am not a fan of the pens, but I do like a good liquid liner, I use it on myself all the time.

It is kind of a shame we can't get the Kat Von D stuff over here, as we don't have Sephora. Although that upsets me in one way, it also makes me glad as I would be bankrupt if there was one near me. It's like a candy store!

Hi everyone,

I have a question to make-up artists about calculating the material costs for an application. How do you do this?

I could count the number of applications I get out of a foundation or would the brand already have estimated that? For everything else like shadow, blush, lipstick, it seems impossible to know how much it costs.

Any help would be brilliant, thanks!

Alcohol sprayed onto a tissue and swiped and leaving it to totally dry.
The pen had a ball inside which you shake to keep it fluid and bring the product forward. There isn't a huge build up of product on the brush so you don't get waste.

I'm obsessed with Bobbi Brown gels and MAC fluid line but when I saw it had so many great reviews I though I would try it!
I know my poor husband gets a list as long as his arm when he goes and just hands it into the girls!

Eve Taylor. I bought the mobile kit and I decided not to do facials so I kept the products for my kit.
