Which make-up brand?

[pure]

Following on from a couple of recent threads I was wondering which make up brands everyone uses in their salons/mobile. Or do you not stick to just one brand and mix and match between your preferred products?

I would love to get into make up in quite a big way but I want to concentrate on just setting up the business first (oh and passing my courses!!:lol and look to next summer before advertising bridal services. So that gives me a year to do some research!

I do stick to one brand I use Jean D'Arcel. My clients and myself love their products!!! You will love doing make-up!

 

[Good Skin Day]

I use my favourite products from all different brands. My kit contains a lot of Stila, Benefit, MAC, Chanel and NARS and bits and bobs from other brands. I do not retail to my wedding clients.

You will find that a number of professional brands offer a discount for professional MUAs and virtually all of them offer gratis for editorial work.

 

[Martigirl]

I use Jane Iredale and Bobbi Brown.

Virgin Vie. Ive tried many brands over the years & prefer V V. Having a friend who's a sales rep also helps :wink2:

 

[Boop]

Art Deco for me. I absolutely love it!!

I use Jane Iredale in the salon & mobile.

They also offer training including bridal. I choose this range as I had previously used it at one of the spa's ive worked in so knew how good it was.

Since ive been using the JI foundation I have had so many comments about how nice it looks, I was using MAC before which I also love but imo JI is even better.

I prefer not to be restricted to one brand so for mobile I have lots of different brands like Amy,but in the salon we use Darphin.

I do think it hinders things on the retail side of things though,because you cant retail the products.

I have to say though that I dont personally think they have enough to choose from,although they are nice products to use and we do retail them well after clients have had a make up treatment.

In the salon we use ArtDeco which i love. Artdeco Cosmetics UK - 0870 600 1231

But in my personal make up case at home, i have a huge mish mash of different brands.

I have a mix of Anthony Braden shadows & foundations (great colours) bare escentuals lip colours & glosses etc, Paula Dorf,.

Good to cherry pick the best of certain ranges.

Thankyou everyone for your replies.:hug:

Well I'm trying out some mineral make up at home on myself at the moment but the jury's out on that one, although I think it's probably simply a case of more practice needed!

I like the idea of using MAC though. I think their colours are fantastic and their staying power great. And apparently you can have some sort of corporate membership which allows you between 35-40% off their prices.

So I have lots to think about but the best thing is I passed my first make-up assesment tonight with flying colours!! I did a bridal look and the tutor was really impressed.:green:

I have started using Artdeco and it's great!! also the prices are so reasonable for such good quality.

Oh boy the fun starts eh? I think I finally got it down about right with applying the mineral makeup. Nothing compared to my liquid makeup which I just slapped on, blended down under the jaw, powdered and I was good to go until afternoon time where I had to go to the bathroom and blot excess oil and reapply the powder again.
congrats on your makeup assessment.
