Temptu airbrush foundation - swatches

Swatches of my silicon based Temptu foundations. I must admit I don't use these through the airbrush gun as I have another favourite brand, however I do like to use these hand applied which gives a very nice, light finish to people who don't need a lot of coverage.

Yaby liquid foundation

One of my favourite liquid foundations is a silicone base by Yaby. It has a smooth texture that's not thick so I can build coverage and the finish is not too shiny or matt, very nice and natural, like skin. I purchased it as a set from Makeup and Glow as i had the cream foundations and wanted something for people who didn't need full coverage but since its an oil free silicone base it's still good for oily/acne prone skins.
Yaby products were created with the makeup artist in mind so the packaging is always small and convenient for condensing kits (just how i like it!) but don't let the size fool you as with all pro brands its quite pigmented and has last me quite a while.

OCC tint swatches

 Before                                         After

Just some swatches of my Obsessive compulsive cosmetics (OCC) tinted moisturizes. They come in red skin tones,  R0 to R5 and yellow skin tones, Y0 to Y5, I keep the Y1-5's which i transfer into little bottles to condense my kit.
I purchased mine from Makeupandglow, they aren't cheap compared to consumer brand tinted moisturizers but they do last a while as they have more pigment in them so great for people with good skin who don't need a lot of coverage and want a natural no makeup look. Like most pro brand they don't have SPF so apply sunscreen beforehand if going out into the sun.

Face Atelier pro foundations

Face Atelier Pro foundation has been used for Madonna's confession tour, Lady Gaga, Fergie, Kelly Clarkson, Trueblood and now, my brides!

I've been using it a lot lately for photo shoots as I like the fresh dewy look. FA is an oil free, fragrance free, non-comedogenic (pore blocking), water resistant, silicon base foundation with built in primer. I like to use it for people with dry skin, for combination skin I use an anti-shine in the t-zone, it can look a bit too shiny for people with very oily skin though.

More colours have been added to their line to cater for darker skin tones since I purchased mine. They have a zero minus (white) and zero plus to lighten and darken foundations, also excellent for highlighting and contouring or mixing to get an exact match for your skin tone. I do carry a few colours in my kit for bridal work though as you don't want to waste too much time mixing colours.

(L-R) #1 Porcelain, #2 Ivory, #3 Wheat, #4 Sand, #5 Sepia, #6 Honey, #7 Tan, #8 Caramel, #9 Toffee, #10 Cocoa (used to be zero plus in their old colours), Zero minus
