Do any of you ever prep a client's or model's face with an oil serum? Or mix an oil with foundation (ex: Fresh seaberry oil, argan oil)?

I'm thinking of buying the new Josie Maran Argan infinity cream

but i'd like to hear your thoughts..


Thanks!

From someone who used to work at a large cosmetic retail and has literally tried most of the big name oils on the market right now, I have to say that the Argan Oil is probably my least favorite. 
Oil is great to carry around in kit, smooths flyaways, good for chapped knees/elbows/cuticles... I'd suggest Maracuja oil instead - this ones a bit more universal and even works on oily skin, whereas the Argan oil well get shiny really quickly on oily skin, and I found that even though my skin is not acne prone, I developed some pretty bad pimples when I was using argan oil on my face.  I continued to use it for body/hair but as a repurchase I would do the Tarte Maracuja instead. Hope this helps!

grape-seed oil, full of anti-oxydants good for skin

i discovered now also mustard-oil!...a lot of side benefit's if the model is not allergic to it..if it feels warm it's not a allergic reaction, but increased blood circulation...

in any case, great oils to use in photoshoots

Yes, i like to mix foundations with oils, i like squalene oil - good for oily and dry skin. Carmen is very right about argan - it is great for my mom but i have been breaking out like crazy using argan. I really want to try maracuja now! I get pure oil from a company called new directions aromatics, and recommend them for pure rare oils.

Thank you for your input! I really appreciate it

Maracuja oil is pretty awesome. Speaking of which, Tarte offers makeup artists a 40% discount.
