Beauty Blender

When I studied Make-up Artistry (very long time ago) I was taught to use the sea sponge to apply foundation, as the sea sponge does not soak up the foundation like the commonly used Latex wedges does. Only problem was I anyway have to use the latex wedge afterwards to blend the foundation on
the skin.
Later the Foundation brush appeared on the scene, and every one only used the Foundation brush. For a short while I also used the brush, but soon realised
that I still need to use a latex wedge to smooth out the foundation on the skin,
otherwise it still make streaks on the skin.  Then came the stippling brush. I liked this brush but the only problem with this brush was the fact that I struggled to build the foundation in areas you need more coverage, and then again to apply it thinner in other areas where you do not want to much foundation (ie. areas that are prone to fine lines)
When the Beauty Blender came on the market, I immediately went to buy one as I am always on the mission to achieve the perfect foundation application.

 I HAVE ACHIEVED IT!!!!
 
This little pink sponge is the best thing I have tried in ages, no wonder it has won the Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner
in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012.
 
Invented by top Hollywood make-up artist Rea Ann Silva, Beautyblender has been created to leave you with a  professional finish and a flawless complexion. Silva knows that the key to a perfect face is simple: a  perfect  blend. The ultimate makeup sponge applicator, Beautyblender's patent-pending elliptical shape was designed to help you apply makeup like a   pro. And its unique suede texture gives your complexion a flawless finish. So  forget your fingers or  sharp-edged triangular sponges, these application methods waste make up and can leave visible streaks.

Beautyblender is non-latex and hypoallergenic and odour free.

Chanel Eclat Lumiere

Currently my favourite product in my Make-up Kit.
I have been using the YSL Touche Eclat for years, but  a friend recently told me about the Chanel concealer/radiance pen and I instantly fell in love. 
I prefer this highlighter pen because the texture is slightly thicker than the YSL one, giving you a bit more coverage, It however is still very easy to blend and pat into the skin. It lasts all  day on my skin and I don’t need to reapply it!
This is such an amazing pen, I would really recommend that everyone should have this product in their make-up bags.

This easy to apply highlighting pen can be used:
1. On its own, on bare skin for a naturally luminous and even complexion,  applied to dark areas on the face (dark circles, fine lines, hollow of the chin,  etc.)
2. On top of foundation, to add maximum radiance to makeup.

Bodyography Veil Primer

This is for sure the best Primer I have ever used on myself as well as on my clients!
The primer contains Dermazyl that instantly fills up your fine lines and pores by up to 40 % while allowing your skin to breathe, and over time it also assists with anti-aging. It quenches your skin with vitamins A, E, Green  Tea and Grape Seed extracts to nourish and protect your skin.

Dermaxyl is a force to be reckoned with for fine lines and wrinkles and is found in some of  the best-selling skincare lines today. This one contains a hefty 3% to arm the  epidermis against  free-radicals and wrinkles!

Using this primer not only makes your skin look much more even, but it also helps your foundation to last the entire day.
Being sooo reasonably priced at R269-00, there is no reason why you should not make this part of your daily make-up regime. I promise you that you will be in love after the first use.
