Our Makeup Must Haves

A good makeup artist is an equal opportunist when it comes to the kind of products they use in their kits.  

They are by far the worst hoarders of makeup and are almost compulsive in purchasing everything new that hits the scene.  But this isn't just a selfish indulgence, this is research and possibly a learning curve that will bring them up to the next level in their skills.

Take a look inside any of the pro kits at Image ProvoCateur and you'll see what I mean.  You'll see an abundance of VIP-CAT Cosmetics, but you will also see a smattering of other brands as well, from MAC and NARS to Wet 'n Wild and CoverGirl.  Each of our artists are going to use the best tool for the job, no matter the name on the label.  

Each item in our kit was chosen for it's performance.  We all have our personal favorites, brands and products, and it's how we know what is going to work best for all of our clients.

If there was one piece of makeup We couldn't live with out?:

Raquel Siders - Master Artist:  Revlon Colorstay Foundation.  With it you just need it, not foundation, concealer AND powder.  It's 3 in 1.
