Wedding Makeup - Kit must haves!!

Hello Hello!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Mothers Day!

I thought I'd do a blog about weddings. Either if you're a make-up artist or you plan to do your own make-up for your special day, it is best to know the best of the products so you or your client get long lasting and flawless make-up! So I have put together a few products I have that I personally use on myself and clients that work for me - beautifully!

All of these products were purchased from a Brisbane Based company (that also has an online store) called Makeup and Glow! They are a fantastic store that has a lot of professional make-up products as well as hair and also does training. If you are a Make-up artist or even if your not go check them out at www.makeupandglow.com.au. If you're a Make-up Artist you even get a trade discount - woohoo! You will absolutely love these girls and they offer so much information - they certainly know there stuff!.

Product 1 - Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC)  Airbrush Foundation. As I specialise in Airbrush Make-up I obviously use this. I did my training with this product and have never found a reason to try any other products.  It lasts all day and all night as it's sweat and tearproof (a must have for brides). The best thing I personally think about this product is it doesn't feel like your wearing foundation. I personally hate the "caked on" feeling and like feeling as though my skin can breath. They come in 12 different shades and you can mix them together to make that perfect shade and a little goes A LONG WAY! You can buy them for $35 for a 30 ml bottle. OCC also make bronzers and shimmer blushes etc as well - which are great!

Product 2 - Graftobian HD foundation Powder. I have this product in the "warm" I personally think the warm covers most skin shades but I believe you can get them in "light" as well. It comes in 8 colours all ranging from light - dark. You use this over your foundation to set it etc and as it's Hi Def your skin will look fantastic (especially in photos and/or video). It can be purchased for $119.00.

Product 3 - A good concealer - Graftobian Corrector Palette - these beautiful things are a must-have. I originally bought this baby because in my Airbrush course I heard all of these make-up arists talking about  how fantastic it was - and as we do, I wanted to try it out!. It has 5 colours which neuturalises different skin imperfections - and it even has a guide on the back which colour corrects what. It also has a hi light which works perfectly on most skin tones to get that Kim Kardashian highlighted look. I also use Cinema Secrets Concealer palette which also has 5 colours but more to cover blemishes and hyper pigmentation etc. Both of these can be purchased for $29.00 each.

Product 4 -  Makeup and Glow Brush Cleaner. Every Make-up Artist MUST have this. We all do weddings that have multiple clients and obviously don't have time to clean ALL of your brushes in between every client BUT you cannot use the same dirty brushes on each of them either. Here is the answer! This make-up brush cleaner is easy to use and you can even fly with it - for all of you lucky travellers!. You just need to spray it on a tissue and wipe your brush on it and it cleans those babies very well. You can grab this for $8.00 for a 125ml bottle but can also be purchased in a 500ml & 1 litre bottle.

Product 5 - Primer, Primer, Primers - Obsessive Complusive Cosmetics Primer & Graftobian HD Primer with Anti-Shine. Both of these products are perfect for Airbrush Makeup as it helps the foundation stay to your face beautifully. The Graftobian HD Primer even fills in pores to make your skin look every better - how can you complain about that!!. Also having Anti-Shine it stops oily skin getting the better of your make-up. If you are known for having very very dry skin I would suggest putting moisturizer or a hydrating primer on those areas and then one of these primers in the other areas - especially those oily areas. I only just purchased the Graftobian Primer but after doing a wedding party of 6 just days ago I am loving the product. Graftobian can be picked up for $35.00 and OCC can be for $29.00.

I am going to be filming a VLOG on these tomorrow so check that out if your wanting to see more of the products etc. I will be putting them up on my YouTube Channel "BeautywithBelinda" If you have any questions let me know and I can put the answers in the VLOG :). Photos decided they didn't want to be my friend tonight so I have attached the links to the specific products so you could have a better look : )

Have a Beauty-ful Day!

Please note - Although I am recommending these products, purely from one company tonight. I purchased these products myself and am not paid by any company. I personally use these products and wouldn't recommend products or companies I do not LOVE!
