It's good for swatches tho : ) Dec 11 10 11:41 am Link Chelsea Dutchak wrote: I like Graftobian alot but it's not good for oily skin. I hear CS is great but I don't have them yet. Gonna go with the RCMA palette instead of the CS ones since another MUA let me know that getting the CS would lead me to having duplicate shades. I love the texture of the CS but I can get it from RCMA after warming it or mixing it with FA or moisturizer. Dec 11 10 11:47 am Link Y S B wrote: What's the difference of Shinto and KO?

So which one is good for cool tone? Dec 17 10 07:51 pm Link HD Makeup by ELSIE wrote: Every person I have worked on have always been yellow/warm toned. Maybe that's just my luck so far since I only own the Graftobian warm palette which is mostly yellow tones. I do own heat(Face Atelier) which thanks to a awsome lady letting me know, lets me warm up my foundations if they are too yellow. I would go with the Shinto palette unless your clients are mostly if not all on the darker side. Most people I know whom have the KO never or barely use it.

Dec 18 10 07:17 am Link I just wanted to say in this thread real quick: PLEASE don't use Revlon Colorstay on your models. I got it to try & used it 2 days & had to throw it away - bad allergic reaction to my skin! You never know how your model's skin is. If it works for you (yes it has good coverage & staying power) then go right ahead. Dec 18 10 04:04 pm Link Ms_Samantha_Marie wrote: I disagree! I use this on most of my models/clients.....buff is my most used shade. I have never had a client or myself break out from it. However there is a chance that ANY product can make ANYONE break out but that doesn't mean you stop putting makeup on your clients. Just do spot tests first if you are concerned about bad reactions. On another note: Revlon colorstay photographs beautifully. I use it on all of my shoots....either alone or mixed and I love the stuff. Dec 18 10 06:22 pm Link Has anyone ever had issued with foundatioun not sticking to the skin after using makeup remover? A few days ago I worked with a MUA whom could not get the foundation to stay put after using some. I assumed it was that there was still some residue and the chemicals still wanted to do there job lol. Could that be the reason?

Just a quick question, I am purchasing the Face Atelier foundations for my kit but I was hoping for a recommendation for my oily skinned bridal clients? Something long lasting and helps keep the shine at bay? Thanks x Dec 26 10 04:36 pm Link Laura Walton MUA wrote: My most used foundation for bridal is Revlon colorstay. If the client has oily skin I use the oily/combination formula. It is waterproof, absorbs the oil and photographs beautifully. Not everyone likes it but I love it. If the client is very oily try a good primer....I don't use it but I hear a lot of good things about the Urban Decay de-slick gel. HTH Dec 26 10 04:40 pm Link I use LORAC . i love it. Jan 06 11 11:42 am Link What kind of primer is best to use with face atelier? I've never had a problem on a model, but I started using it on myself and I find it doesn't last as long as it does when I use it for work. I don't have oily skin, I would say I have combination but more on the drier side. I use a body shop primer with it, which to me feels very similar to the MUFE primer. Should I be using something different? Jan 06 11 12:09 pm Link Face Atelier foundation is silicon based so you should not be using a sb primer with it. If you feel you need a primer, use a water-based one. Jan 06 11 12:50 pm Link ooh ok thanks  Jan 06 11 08:50 pm Link bumping Jan 12 11 11:35 pm Link Decided to bump this thread. It has tons of great product recommendations and advice. I Just got my MAC face and body and I love it. It's great for men and those with nearly flawless skin. Mar 16 11 08:24 am Link This is a great thread and now I won't feel like a total newb for bumping a 3-4 year old thread! Lol Thanks for starting this newer one Loooots of great info for me!Mar 16 11 10:34 am Link AMJ Artistry wrote: No problem. Enjoy and feel free to ask away! Mar 16 11 10:52 am Link love this thread! im wondering,i already have graftobian warm and neutral and i wanna add yaby liquid to my kit.would it be good for oily skin? since i understand that graftobian would be too dewy for the oily skinned clients. oh yes,anyone can give me suggestions on which few to get for yaby?im confused!if i had a bigger budget,i'd get all!hehehe.thanks everyone Mar 16 11 04:15 pm Link Shekeita Magitt wrote: Just wanted to say thanks Shekeita for starting this awesome thread. As a newbie, this thread has helped me so much...and a few years have passed since you started this thread but the info is so useful! Jul 24 13 09:09 am Link With Cinema Secrets palettes, I have been able to match every skin tone from lightest to darkest and everything in between. The also show well across all medias. https://www.facebook.com/groups/211599875658924/ Jul 29 13 09:00 pm Link I'm building my newbie kit up and I was wondering what the best foundation palettes and setting powders would be for me to invest in. I've heard a lot of great things about Graftobian but seeing as how I don't have a ton of money to spend all at once, I want to make sure I'm purchasing the best option and not just jumping the gun, buying the first thing I hear good reviews about. I also want to know what the best options would be for oily and dry skin, and for creating a matte or dewy finish. Jul 06 14 06:39 pm Link Has anyone tried black up cosmetics? What did you like? Jul 07 14 01:45 pm Link Denise wrote: Hi Denise, Aug 12 14 11:42 pm Link Cool thread Aug 18 14 06:12 pm Link Any suggestions for mature skin in terms of primer/foundation combos? I plan to get RCMA palette and MUFE f&b, will either of these do well? I have Smashbox oil free, mufe hd primer, and laura mercier moisturizing primer. Aug 25 14 06:50 pm Link Ronnie D wrote: Ronnie I prefer RCMA for mature skin in as it is capable of a spackling effect... i.e. can fill pores/wrinkles somewhat which airbrush TEMPTU isn't best for.. Be certain to use an oil based primer first to prepare the skin... allow 5 to 10 minutes for the primer to do it's magic... Aug 25 14 07:33 pm Link Narrowing down your perfect foundation across different mediums (photography, film, etc) is definitely an experience. So far, the foundations I reach for the most are: RCMA (love, love, love for both photography and film) MUFE HD Foundation (works great for both photography and film) MAC F&B (great for photography, but I'm iffy about it when it comes to film) Black Opal Foundation Sticks (great for darker skin tones for print and film) In regard to the MAC F&B, I'm iffy about it because while I've used it for one film with success, I had a commercial shoot in which the foundation color I used on one actress (I used the color C2) seemed slightly off on camera. For some reason, the foundation had a very very slight green tinge. You could only see it when the frame was zoomed all the way in. I talked to the DP about it, and he mentioned that it could be because of he type of camera used (RED Epic cam) or the lighting that makes the foundation look that way. I've decided to stick to MUFE HD and RCMA for now for film/commercial work and keep MAC F&B in my arsenal for print. Sep 25 14 04:23 pm Link loving this thread. I need to catch up properly in my spare time if i have missed anything... but wondering if anyone has any recomendations on setting powders? I have a small palette in my starter kit but i need to replace it and also the shade range isnt great in there... I have translucent but what about powders that add a little extra coverage? I have heard ben nye loose powders r popular but I am after a pressed powder preferably. However if the loose powders are better then obviously I would get loose?
