👀 KIT P 0-RN! 👀 🎵 It’s gettin HOT🥵 in here, so take off all your…🎶 Summer temps are upon us. Are you and your makeup bag/kit ready? . Thank you to @taylor_frankel , the genius behind beauty brand @nudestix which is all about fun, practical, fuss free, beauty on the-go, for this super fun tote filled with goodies! I got to learn more about the brand earlier this year in LA direct from Taylor herself, where I was shown how thoughtfully developed and designed all Nudestix products are. Compact, multi-use, in tube or crayon form makes for purse and travel friendly makeup that anyone can apply to themselves or others with ease. Also super central to the brand ethos is that the makeup should be good for you, so skincare forward ingredients, many with SPF make these products a great option for many who want to simplify their beauty routines while nourishing and protecting their skin. . Have you tried any of these @nudestix products? What is a makeup product that you could use that would make summer livin easier and more comfortable for you? So looking forward to testing some of these products out myself and introducing them to clients! #nudestix #nudestixskin #spf #summermakeup #makeupartistsworldwide #makeuptipsandtricks

“Clean Girl” makeup has always been a mainstay in the world of beauty and is way more than just a passing trend. The overall execution should leave you with an end result that has those who cross paths with you wondering “Dang, how do they look so good?” 🤔 . My tips for a modern looking Clean Girl makeup 💦 Keep the glow targeted and most importantly, *transparent* - keeping it sheer and transparent, on specific areas of the face helps keep the face dimensional in a way that is subtle, modern and cool. For this, I love balmy textures. No visible shimmer here! 💦 As with the glow, a touch of color to the cheeks and lips feels more effortless when it’s not opaque. Lip and cheek tints, especially the ones from Korea and Japan are great for this. There are also “jelly” type cheek products on the market in stick form that can be used on the lips as well. Pat onto lips and cheeks, and blend out any visible edges. It should look like the color is coming from within 💦 Keep brows groomed but soft - no opaque, concealer cut brows from 2016 please! A little brow gel, and soft flicks of a brow pen or pencil in any sparse areas that need a little love is all you need 💦 When it comes to complexion, less is more. Skin tints are much more user friendly than traditional foundation. Use sheerly only where needed to even out any discoloration or unevenness. If you use a foundation, choose a light coverage liquid formula. Follow up by pinpoint concealing only where needed. How do *you* “Clean Girl” makeup? If you have questions, leave them below! .

KIT PÖrN - with warmer temps and higher humidity fast approaching, I’m excited to incorporate these beautiful @shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing custom finish powder foundations to my kit. I’m already a huge fan and use the brands Synchro Skin and Revitalessence liquid foundations in my kit and having a powder version of their beautiful shade range for my clients who lean on the oily side or who have to function outside in the summer heat is a real plus. If you happen to fall under this description of needs yourself, check ‘em out. Lightweight, super finely milled, silky smooth and best of all, it is a dual finish formula, meaning it can be applied wet or dry for a truly custom application, coverage and finish. When it comes to powder foundations, I love a dual finish formula and always recommend it. I find they wear better and are easier to “reactivate” and refresh through the course of the day. Can be used alone or on top of “regular” foundation in place of loose or pressed powder for a little added coverage if needed. . Also, for the pros…the brand thoughtfully designed the compact to have a pinhole in the back, to pop the pan out easily should you want to depot a range into a custom palette. No struggle to depot! Now, as for the original compact, it’s so beautiful and such a great size with a good sized mirror, I will be working on a way to use them as touch up kits for clients. The compact is too pretty to toss! . What powder foundations do you use/carry in your kit? If you don’t, or have questions around powder foundations, feel free to ask away in the comments. . . #inmykit #promakeupartist #makeupartistsworldwide #nycmakeupartist #lamakeupartist #summermakeup #makeuptipsandtricks #powderfoundation #shiseidosynchroskin
