Carissa St. Clair's Top Picks:
The Makeup For Ever HD Skin All in One Palettes are a new addition to my collection and I am kicking myself for not buying them sooner! The versatility of this product is really the selling point; you can use it for foundation, concealer, cream contour, blush, lipstick, etc.!
Another tool I can’t believe I ever lived without is the Sigma "my everything brush” - aka the Sigma F47 Multitasker. It’s an angled natural hair makeup brush and it is AMAZING for foundation. It really gives you a flawless finish and I cannot put it down!

Kathy O'Connor's Top Picks:
The Blend Bunny Cosmetics Forget Me Not Palette is such a staple in my routine! Such a bendable and easy to work with face and eye pallete! It is full of gorgeous cool and warm tones and beautiful shimmers. The formulas are stunning, and it has quickly become an everyday product for me!
If you’re looking for a full coverage creamy concealer that has minimal creasing, you need to try Jouer's Essential High Coverage Liquid Concealer - it's the product is for you! I use multiple shades of this concealer with each look I do to create a flawless and dimensional base. If you’re a full glam kind of person, this product will change your life!
Kristen Fiori's Top Picks:
The Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner is the easiest and most effective way I've found to clean my brushes! It instantly cleans them and the best part is that you don't need to rinse them or let them dry!
As for setting spray, Ben Nye Final Seal is INTENSE in the best way possible! Your makeup will not budge no matter how oily or sweaty your skin is. This is a staple for my clients in the hot summer months when I need their makeup to last 12+ hours!
Anyssa Surprenant's Top Picks:
My ultimate favorite product at CRC is the Make Up For Ever HD Skin Foundation. It gives the perfect healthy natural glow while easily buildable for a full coverage base without looking cakey. It’s my perfect go to for my every day make up AND game day/performance makeup.
Another favorite, I absolutely cannot live without is the RCMA No Color Powder. This is another staple in my makeup bag with so many different uses. From my everyday powder for filter-like skin, to keeping my game day make up set in place for hours through dancing, sweating, rain, the hot sun, you name it. I also use it to bake body make-up, specifically my tattoo cover up, perfectly blends and stays all day!

About Camera Ready Cosmetics
