EDUCATION AT CAMERA READY

If you’ve been following along with our blogs, you’ve learned the best ways to start building your brand and step into the makeup artist industry. Now while all of that is incredibly important, you certainly are not going to get far without the right kit. Founded by a professional makeup artist and with over 20 years working with the pro community, Camera Ready Cosmetics prioritizes quality and value with the artist in mind.  Our team of experts understands what makeup essentials an artist needs. 3 Key Things to Consider When Creating your Makeup Artist Kit: Quality Multifunction Sanitation Quality Matters When It Comes to Makeup Essentials for Your Kit When we say quality, we are talking about professional-grade products made for makeup artists. Now, while YouTube and Instagram will have a ton of suggestions for how to build your starting makeup kit, keep in mind that beauty bloggers and celebrities are often being paid to push certain products, and quality does not always factor into the equation. High-quality makeup essentials are not going to include the eyeshadow palette you got with 20+ shades for $15 on Amazon. When purchasing a product for your makeup artist kit, you should consider the ingredients, what is the color payoff, and is the product going to lay on the skin well.  Packaging is also important. The product needs to be able to withstand wear and tear, or at least be able to be broken down and redistributed into empty palettes for ease of travel.  Multifunction is a Must for Your Makeup Artist Kit Not everything in your starting makeup kit is going to be able to have a variety of functions, but the more items you have that can serve different purposes, the better. This will help streamline your kit, save space, and reduce weight. Examples of this are makeup essentials like brushes that can be used on eyes or lips, shadows that can be used wet or dry, or even lip color that doubles as a blush. It’s really up to you and your imagination as to how you can use items in different ways. For Your Starting Makeup Kit, Remember: Sanitation Is Crucial  Remember that you’re going to use this kit on many different people and not just yourself. You must keep not only your brushes and tools clean but also your makeup.  It’s important to not just choose disinfecting sprays and easily cleanable packaged products but also disposable items. Never double dip into your tubes of mascara or lip color. How you build a starting makeup kit can vary based on your primary area of focus within makeup. Whether you’re looking to work in bridal, fashion, or movies, this makeup artist kit will fulfill your essential makeup needs. Now, let’s start shopping.   Essential Makeup Shopping List for Building Your Starting Makeup Kit  Skin Care and Prep products Foundation Powder Bronzer and Blush Eye Makeup Lip products Tools and Brushes Setting Spray Makeup Cases    Top Skincare & Prep Products for Your Starting Makeup Kit As a makeup artist, you will be working on many different skin types. The better prepped the skin, the better your makeup application and longevity of wear. Remember the mantra: Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize. These steps will help you to better understand the skin you are about to work on and prepare your canvas. Our product recommendations for this crucial step include:  Bioderma's Sensibio H2O Wipes Skin1004's Centella Toning Toner Embryolisse’s Lait-Crème Concentre Bioderma’s Atoderm Lip Stick Mehron’s Skin Prep Pro Camera Ready Cosmetics’ Oil Free Makeup Remover Foundation Must-Haves for Your Makeup Artist Kit As a makeup artist, you must be prepared to accommodate a wide range of skin tones. Cream palettes are the perfect makeup essentials for your starting makeup kit because they offer a diverse selection of colors, and they work well with most skin types. Not to mention they are compact, so they take up less space than 10 liquid foundation bottles. While Camera Ready has many high-quality foundation options, we have narrowed our favorite makeup artist kit selection down to the RCMA VK Foundation Palettes or RCMA Kevin James Bennett Complexion Palette. What is great about this product is its versatility. Use the product as concealers, blend them down for foundation, or mix with skin prep to create a sheer/tinted moisturizer. The sky’s the limit with this foundation set! Powder Makeup Essentials for Your Kit Set it and forget it! If you have not been living under a rock for the last few years, then you have certainly heard of RCMA No-Color Powder. While, again, we carry many comparable high-quality setting powders, RCMA has been a staple in makeup artist kits for many years. Along with an all-over setting powder, you will want to have some tinted options for contour and highlight. We recommend a space-saving palette with a range of shades. The Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Pressed Palette Highlight & Contour is a multifunctional makeup essential that includes all the brand’s most popular shades.   No Makeup Artist Kit is Complete Without Blush & Bronzer Let us not forget the importance of color! In keeping with the theme, we have another great palette that offers some of the best color payout on the market. La Femme has so many shade options you could probably find a use for each, but for your starting makeup kit, we suggest the Exclusive Le Femme Blush Palette. The best part of this is that you can easily switch and swap with the brand’s huge selection of refills. Not every face needs shimmer and shine, which is why we recommend matte blush or bronzers. However, to keep your makeup artist kit versatile, always have some shimmer on standby. For this, we included Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork Palette. Just add over the top of your matte colors to create glow and radiance.   Eye Makeup Essentials Every Kit Needs When it comes to eyeshadow, a pro knows less is more. You DO NOT need every shade of shadow in your starting makeup kit. There will be times that a job calls for unique color options, but if you are working with professionals, you will be informed in advance. So, keep your kit streamlined and stick with the makeup essentials. One of our most adaptable palettes, Ben Nye Glam Shadow Palette includes 12 versatile shades. Enhance eyebrows, highlight brow bones, create the perfect smokey eye, or dip into Inglot Duraline to transform it into a cake liner. One-stop shopping! For a long-lasting smudge-proof liner in classic black, we’d suggest the cult favorite Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel or the Camera Ready Gel Eye Liner. Finish off the eyes with Ben Nye Mascara. Remember to use your disposable wands! Save space by stocking up on the straight wands and just bend as needed. Add extra “oomph” with some falsies. Ardell Lashes’ Demi-Wispies are another makeup artist kit favorite.   Makeup Artist Kit Lips Essentials Create the perfect pout with the combination of liners and a great lip palette. Graftobian Super Palette Lip Colors offers 16 long-lasting shades. Mix them together to up your color game. Use your RCMA No-Color Powder for binding, and top it off with shine using Face Atelier Lip Glaze Petite.   No Makeup Artist Kit is Complete Without Brushes & Tools Brushes are a hard one to narrow down, and every artist has their favorites. For the purpose of simplicity, we have chosen the Bdellium Tools Maestro Series Complete 12pc Brush Set. This synthetic brush set has a little something for everything and even includes a roll-up pouch.  Keep in mind, just because a brush is meant to be used for one purpose does not mean it cannot be used for many more. Find what works for you. Plus, the fewer brushes in your makeup artist kit, the less you have to clean after the job is done.  With that being said, do not forget some of the most important tools of all, your brush cleaners. If you are new to Camera Ready Cosmetics, then you may have not yet heard of Crazy Merman Brush Soap. With a few easy steps, it can pretty much clean anything out of your brushes (even that stubborn Inglot 77). We recommend unscented because you never know if a client is sensitive to smell. When it comes to the brushes that are doing double or even triple duty with no time to dry, make sure you have Cinema Secrets’ Brush Cleaner on hand for quick a switch.  Finally, to round out your starting makeup kit, don’t forget a mixing palette and spatula. This is the greatest way to stay sterile and also mix shades for more variety. MyKitCo was nice enough to create a palette set that also includes a double-ended spatula. Thank you, MyKitCo!   Setting Spray: The Final Touch to Your Makeup Artist Kit  Just like this blog, we are going to finish off the look with a great setting spray. Makeup artists differ between their favorites when it comes to setting sprays. For this kit, we are going to include Skindinavia Bridal Makeup Finish Spray. The award-winning formula perfectly balances skin for controlling excess moisture and leveling out temperatures, so your hard work stays fresh and flawless for up to 16 hours.   The Perfect Case for Your Kit Now, let’s put it all away. Bigger isn’t better. Remember that we kept this starting makeup kit streamlined. No need to dig for what you need with the Zuca Artist Backpack. It’s easy to keep everything in order, and cleaning is super easy.  Total Makeup Artist Kit Cost $972.86* Depending on where you are in your makeup artist career, $1,000 can seem like a lot of money, but just remember you are investing in your future. Now, go forward into your career with your head high because with this starting makeup kit, you shopped like a pro!    

A good skincare routine can be taken to the next level with the help of some handy skincare tools, but it can be hard to pick the right one for your routine! In this blog, we will share our best skincare tool recommendations to address the following skincare needs: The best skincare tools for exfoliation and deep cleansing The best skincare tools for anti-aging and toning the skin The best skincare tools to soothe stressed-out skin The best skincare tools massage the skin and increase product absorption The Best Skincare Tools for Exfoliation & Deep Cleansing We firmly believe some of the best tools are our hands and fingertips when it comes to applying skincare and makeup, but when it comes to cleansing and exfoliating, tools just do it better. The Conture AeroCleanse Facial Cleansing Device constantly sells out for us because it offers a gentle yet effective cleanse by utilizing sonic & airflow technology to safely and effectively cleanse. The sonic vibrations remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup from pores, while airflow technology increases the suds of your favorite cleanser to more effectively carry away impurities. This prevents over-stripping your skin. Exfoliation is also a key step to revealing healthy glowing skin, but the key is to be gentle. Over-exfoliation can disrupt the skin's barrier, so choose a tool that gently removes debris and dead skin. Our top picks are the Conture Kinetic Smooth Hair Remover & Skin Polisher and the Esker Beauty Body Plane. The Conture Kinetic Smooth Hair Remover & Skin Polisher can be used on the face and body to remove unwanted hair with its precision rotary blades and has an interchangeable polishing head that gently buffs to reveal a glowing complexion. If you’re seeking the perfect tool to exfoliate your body, the Esker Beauty Body Plane smooths skin and removes dirt and residue without damaging or irritating the skin’s moisture barrier. It has a dull "blade" that glides over wet or oiled skin that gently sloughs away impurities and dead skin while also acting as a gua sha massage for your body. It's a great alternative to a body scrub, especially if you have sensitive skin! After dampening your skin, apply your favorite oil and glide the body plane along your arms and legs in upward motions. You’ll notice the immediate exfoliation of debris and dead skin, resulting in visibly softer skin. To learn more about the body plane and how to use it, be sure to check out our blog dedicated to this unique tool! The Best Skincare Tools for Anti-Aging and Toning If your number one skincare goal is anti-aging, skin toning is a must. The Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System is a celebrity favorite for more youthful skin, as it has isometric compression and low-frequency vibrations to stimulate and tone skin. This technology replicates what was once only available at med-spas and skin clinics, but now, you can effectively fight dullness, puffiness, and signs of aging from the comfort of your own home. While it may sound silly, the basic idea behind this tool is that it provides a gentle suction to the surface of the skin before gently releasing it back to its natural position. This simple yet effective repetitive motion increases circulation, helps drain extra fluids, and smoothes the skin. When it comes to toning the skin, celebrity makeup artists and estheticians often reach for FDA-approved NuFACE tools for effective toning and lifting of the face and body. These handy devices use microcurrents to tone the skin (just like toning your muscles when you go to the gym), and while the results are cumulative, some see immediate results - especially in the lip line and eyelid area! Be sure to check out all of the great NuFACE routines and NuFACE devices we offer including the NuFACE Trinity PRO.  The Best Skincare Tools to Soothe Stressed Out Skin & Increase Circulation Facial rollers are one of the most well-recognized skincare tools today. An ancient beauty practice dating back thousands of years, facial rollers provide energetic healing while improving the complexion’s appearance. The Esker Beauty Allover Roller extends beyond the tradition of facial rolling and is designed specifically for use all over the body. Measuring 7 inches across, the extra-large roller is textured with soft spikes to increase stimulation, break up fascia, and help better absorb any treatment oil or product. The Allover Roller aids in lymphatic drainage, which helps to detoxify, and provides tension relief throughout the entire body. If you’re looking for a more traditional yet highly effective facial roller, the Jenny Patinkin Rose on Rose Face Roller utilizes rose quartz for its healing properties. Rose quartz is believed to emit energetic vibrations of love and beauty, which is said to improve self-esteem as well as feelings of self-worth, forgiveness, and compassion. Like other rollers, the Rose on Rose Face Roller aids with lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammation, boosts circulation, and temporarily firms the skin. If you want to start your day with added radiance and glow, the Rose on Rose Face Roller is our top choice. If you want the facial roller effect but aren’t keen on rollers, we recommend the Jenny Patinkin Uplifting Gua Sha Heart. Apply an oil, serum, or moisturizer, and glide the tool over the skin for a relaxing spa experience that will leave you feeling fresher and more awake. Like facial rollers, the Gua Sha Heart will promote lymphatic drainage and improve the appearance of skin laxity. It also comes with its own matching carrying case for relaxation and healing on the go. Finally, we can't help but gush about our love for the Milk + Honey Body Brush. Crafted from Chinese cherrywood and 100% boar bristles, it provides gentle exfoliation, promotes healthy circulation and detoxification, and helps to reveal smoother skin. The Best Skincare Tools to Increase Skincare Product Absorption If you're short on self-care time but still want an incredibly effective way to elevate your skincare routine, a device that incorporates cryo-therapy, micro-needling, or massaging may be the perfect tool for you. Cryo-therapy harnesses the benefits of lower temperatures (think of pro athletes taking an ice bath after a strenuous workout) to invigorate the skin and muscles. This cooling treatment can help reduce puffiness, lift and firm the skin, tighten pores, and even reduce the appearance of dark circles. The Fraîcheur Paris Ice Globes are our personal favorite easy-to-use cryo-therapy tool. For those who aren’t familiar, facial cooling globes are spherical tools that can be placed in the freezer and then rolled over the face for a number of skincare benefits. In addition to the benefits listed above, they can also brighten the complexion, reduce acne scarring, and more. Want to feel extra refreshed in the morning or soothe tired skin and tense muscles at the end of a day? Incorporate a quick facial ice globe session into your routine, and try using it on top of your favorite sheet mask for a next-level facial. The award-winning Jenny Patinkin Rose on Rose Derma Roller has won great praise from Health and Shape magazines because it's a fast, painless, and low-tech tool that helps your skincare products sink more deeply into your skin. The tool uses microneedles to create tiny channels into the deeper layers of your skin, allowing the ingredients to sink in more effectively. While it may be tempting, we only recommend using this tool one to two times per week. Finally, if you're like many others and suffer from facial muscle tension or a dull complexion in general, you'll love The Gold Sculpting Bar. Created by celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, this vibrating facial tool helps sculpt the face by increasing circulation and can help ease tension in the jaw, forehead, around the lips, and more. For the ultimate facial, use it while wearing your favorite sheet mask or under eye patches! Ready to Explore? Are you ready to dive into the fun and evolving world of skincare tools?

From texture to loss of elasticity and everything in between, it seems like there's a long list of skincare concerns many of us deal with on a regular basis. However, thanks to some high-tech devices and basic skincare tools, caring for our skin and enjoying a spa-like moment at home has never been easier. In this blog, we're sharing our top skincare tool picks to treat different skincare concerns and explaining the benefits of each! Remove dirt, debris, and dead skin cells with the Esker Beauty Body Plane (left) or the Milk + Honey Body Brush (right). Both provide additional benefits like aiding in boosting circulation and aiding in lymphatic draining. Skincare Tools for Exfoliation Pesky dry patches, keratosis pilaris, and general skin dullness impact more than half of Americans, so it's no surprise beauty brands have taken notice and have created safe and effective skincare tools to help. The Esker Beauty Body Plane is a hand-held device that takes inspiration from the ancient Greek strigil, a tool that uses a dulled blade to scrape away debris, dirt, and dead skin cells. You can click here to learn more about that in our blog about how to use the Body Plane, but to summarize this updated version of the strigil, it can help reduce KP bumps and gently sweep away impurities when used correctly. For best results, pair with one of Esker's body oils. Another option is to treat yourself to a body brushing session once a week. Unlike the Body Plane, a body brush is best used before showering. The Milk + Honey Body Brush is crafted from Chinese cherrywood and boar bristles to gently and thoroughly exfoliate the skin, promote healthy circulation and detoxification, and to reveal smooth, happy skin. Regardless of the method you choose, work in long, slow sweeping motions starting at your extremities and move toward your heart to aid in lymphatic draining and to improve circulation. Avoid over-exfoliating, as this can have the opposite effect and cause additional skin irritation. Give your body the royal treatment and target stubborn dimples with the NuBODY, and target fine lines with the Trinity with the ELE Attachment. Skincare Tools for Anti-Aging High-quality facial care has come a long way, and you can achieve professional results at home! NuFACE offers FDA-approved microcurrent devices that are the leading choice for estheticians and makeup artists wanting to give their clients an uplifting treatment. The NuFACE FIX line smoothing device paired with the NuFACE FIX serum provides a quick fix skin-plumping session with microcurrent technology! You can see instant results in just 3 minutes, and there's a whole range of techniques to smooth lines around the lips and eyes. We made it easy to pick which one is best for you — simply read our article here. For a longer microcurrent session with long-term results, the NuFACE Trinity device can sculpt, depuff, tone muscles, and more. Just think of it as a workout for your face! Pair the Trinity with the Effective Lip & Eye attachment to treat extra delicate skin, or attach the Wrinkle Reducer Red Light Therapy attachment to target fine lines. If you want the same results microcurrent can offer for your body, the NuFACE NuBODY Toning and Firming Kit is our top pick for you. This larger device utilizes microcurrent to smooth dimples and to tone the skin. This is the first FDA-approved product of its kind and is designed with four treatment spheres that focus on targeting the microcurrent to specific parts of the body to help smooth away the appearance of uneven or dimpled skin. End your skincare self care routine with a soothing facial that improves circulation, depuffs, and reinvigorates your skin. The Fraicheur Paris Facial Ice Globes are used by estheticians worldwide, and MUA Jillian Dempsey created the Gold Sculptin Bar to give her clients the red carpet treatment in just a few minutes! Skincare Tools for Soothing Stressed Skin Now that you've learned more about our favorite skincare tools to exfoliate and for anti-aging, it's time to talk about tools that can soothe the skin. The Fraicheur Paris Facial Ice Globes are among our best-selling skincare tools and offer an oversized sphere that allows you to cover a larger surface area in a shorter time frame. They utilize cryotherapy to temporarily decrease the size of blood vessels in the skin, so they're great to help hide dark circles under the eyes while soothing facial muscles. Simply pop the globes into the fridge for at least an hour to get them nice and cold, and enjoy! To read step-by-step instructions on how to perform a few Facial Ice Globe facials, click here. For a quicker treatment that's not quite as cold, the FITISH Ice Globes are cooled in the fridge (versus the freezer), so those that are sensitive to the colder temps may prefer these globes for their cryotherapy session. If you have tense facial muscles and a bit of puffiness you're trying to treat, the Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting Bar is the perfect device. Ideal for men and women, the 24k gold plated Gold Bar’s vibrations mimic the effects of a massage, instantly relaxing facial muscles to release tension. Makeup Artist Jillian Dempsey created this device to give her models a professional-level facial in just a few minutes before makeup application. Feeling Inspired?

Danessa Myricks Beauty Oil LEARN MORE Embryolisse Emulsion Hydra-Mat LEARN MORE Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre LEARN MORE Tools The term “tools” can apply to different types of products including brushes, applicators, and even skincare devices.

If I’m on a live, or hosting a masterclass, GLAMCOR has some amazing lighting options for all artists." 1. Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System w/ Serum It is no surprise this viral sensation landed in our #1 spot after Jessica Alba described the Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System as a tool "that does all the things". Beauty Influencer Tati Westbrook tested this skincare tool and said she looked younger and sculpted thanks to the treatment. Conture is committed to discovering new ways to care for skin that are easy, painless, and deliver proven results. They have done just that with their Kinetic Skin Toning System by utilizing Isometric Compression combined with Low Frequency Vibrations to gently stimulate and tone skin for a more youthful-looking appearance.

This modern take on the strigil is crafted from premium teak wood. The stainless steel blunt edge is plated with colloidal sterling silver which is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, leaving skin soothed and smoothed.

Saint Jane offers luxurious skincare and beauty products that incorporate calming botanicals including CBD and sustainably sourced ingredients for all skin types and skin tones. Each ingredient is gently extracted to optimize purity and performance and meticulously blended to ensure maximum potency. Ilios Lighting was created to solve the mirror and lighting needs of makeup artists, photographers, and content creators in one innovative ring light. Mario Dedivanovic explains it best. "Lighting is such a critical part of everything I do, from makeup application to content creation," said Mario. "I not only see a need for this product, but a need for a company that truly embraces our industry and understands it. The Ilios Beauty Ring is the closest thing I’ve experienced to natural sunlight. The quality is just perfect.” MYKITCO was created by makeup artist James Molloy and partner Alex. They took the utmost care to hand-make their original designs from scratch. James then tried and tested each and every bag and brush until they were perfect. With ultimate confidence in the quality they were offering, MYKITCO quickly became an industry favorite, responsible for some major kit upgrades all over the world. AVENE has over 275 years of expertise in caring for sensitive skin and is recommended by dermatologists worldwide. At the heart of every formula, is clinically proven Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe, soften and calm the skin. Originating as pure rain mixed with sea-spray rich in mineral salts, Avène Thermal Spring Water makes its 50-year journey through the Cévennes Mountains in Avène, France. During this journey, the water filters through the dolomites, mineral-laden porous rocks, where it comes into contact with an ancient microorganism, named Aquaphilus Dolomiae*, that produces key substances which are in part responsible for making Avène Thermal Spring Water so effective. This remarkable biological property, combined with the well-known mineral properties, is the double signature of Avène Thermal Spring Water. Feeling Inspired?

Ask any makeup artist what the most important tool is in their kit, and odds are they'll have a hard time selecting from a group of their favorite brushes or a bag that allows them to stay tidy and organized on set. Each brush is designed with a different texture, finish, and product in mind, and when properly used, it can make all the difference, and we all know that having the proper case to house your makeup is key to working efficiently on set. Needless to say, we know that this brand is one that you've been asking us to offer. We're thrilled to announce MYKITCO. is officially part of the Camera Ready family! The Beginning In 2015, makeup artist James Molloy and his partner, Alex Thompson, launched MYKITCO.™ Although James has had an incredible career as a makeup artist that has spanned more than 18 years and has traveled the world for international collections, headed up a major makeup brand as Director of Artistry for MAC Asia Pacific, and more recently became the global Ambassador for Rimmel London, he was never fully satisfied with the choice of tools and accessories available on the market. Together with Alex, who completes the duo with his business and events background, they decided to create a brand that offers makeup artists and makeup lovers affordable, high quality professional brushes, bags, and accessories. Starting in the spare room of their home, James and Alex took the utmost care to hand-make their original designs from scratch. James then tried and tested each and every bag and brush until they were perfect. With ultimate confidence in the quality they were offering, MYKITCO. quickly became an industry favorite, responsible for some major kit upgrades all over the world. Their Purpose While their purpose is to create professional brushes for makeup lovers, keeping the professional makeup artist in mind with all that they do is at the core of their company. They've worked hard to create a community that is passionate about the industry and are constantly inspired by the creativity and enthusiasm for makeup and a shared passion for professional and practical kit organization. The Brushes MYKITCO's award-winning makeup brushes are expertly hand-crafted using the finest materials. They have weighted, solid wood handles which are 7-layer lacquered to increase longevity and durability. In typical MYKITCO. fashion, James and Alex wanted to create tools that were perfect for those using them. The brushes with gray handles include a range of classic makeup brush essentials that are suitable for all levels of artistry. The blue-handled brushes were created for pros and offer more variation in shape, finish, and function, and are suitable for more specialized makeup needs. As for the type of bristles, each brush has natural, synthetic, or a blend of both hairs to maximize the beauty of each product they’re designed to be used with. While their products may be designed by professionals, James and Alex encourage makeup lovers of all skill levels to enjoy brushes from both lines and to explore their artistry with whatever brushes they prefer. Knowing the importance of education and their desire to help artists grow, they took the time to write tips on how to use each brush to showcase the benefits of each and how to maximize its uses. Our Top Picks My Flawless Face Brush Small 0.21 This soft, synthetic, tapered brush molds to the contours of the face, whilst flawlessly applying liquid, cream, and powder products. For an air-brushed concealer effect under the eye, use MY FLAWLESS FACE™ Small to seamlessly blend your under-eye concealer into your foundation using small sweeping motions. LEARN MORE Pro My Blush & Polisher Brush 0.24 This natural fiber brush tapers to a beautiful point and has ultra-flexible bristles which make controlling powder products a dream.

Pro Feliner 1.22 LEARN MORE Pro My Tiny Angle Brush 1.17 LEARN MORE Pro My Tiny Liner Brush 1.11 LEARN MORE PRO Tips for Caring for Your Brushes To ensure the longest life of your MYKITCO. brushes, here are a few tips straight from James and Alex to keep them soft, shiny and clean! 1. Wash your brushes at least once per week using shampoo, pure olive oil soap or baby oil for more persistent makeup. 2. Wet the brush head in lukewarm water then swirl the tip into the shampoo or soap until it lathers. Continue to swirl until all makeup is removed. 3. Rinse the brush head under running water until all detergent is removed then squeeze out the excess water. 4. Groom the tip of your brush back to it's original shape and leave on a flat surface to dry. 5. For more persistent makeup such as lipstick and eyeliner, dip the tip of your brush in baby oil and swirl over a tissue to help break down the product. Shampoo your brush as normal to remove the oil residue. Avoid submerging the entire brush in water as this will corrode the ferrule over time. Additionally, avoid harsh cleaning solutions as these may damage the natural brush fibers. The Bags & Tools James and Alex's dedication to pro artists didn't stop at brushes! They created bags that helped artists both on set and to store their brushes at home. From their best selling Brush Buddies to their PVC Pods and Pouches, each item is designed to make pro life easier with see-through and durable materials. Each bag is fashioned with attention to detail in mind - from detachable belts, extra compartments, and perfectly placed partitions to help keep you organized.

Professional makeup artists and aestheticians around the globe have incorporated NuFACE devices into their services. From the instant results from NuFACE FIX® through the Lip Flick Treatment to lifted brows and smoothed fine lines, we love how NuFACE devices can help makeup apply better on top of treated skin AND provide lasting results with regular use!   Did you miss our Instagram Live with NuFACE Sales Manager Katie Gonzalez? Watch it now! Routines for PROs For the Bride On the big day, every bride wants to look their best. The NuFACE FIX provides an instantly smoother canvas by smoothing out fine lines and plumping up the skin with gentle microcurrent in just three minutes. Using the feathering technique (learn more here), you can provide a soothing facial while also creating a more even base for makeup application. Simple start with cleansed skin, apply the NuFACE Fix Line Smoothing Serum, and treat the areas you want to smooth. The device will automatically turn off after three minutes. Tap any remaining serum into the skin, as it will provide extra hydration and will act as a primer for makeup. For added contouring to the face, use the Trinity PRO or Mini to contour and sculpt the face using the 5-Minute Facial Lift, or give their eyes an extra using the ELE attachment. For the Mother-of-the-Bride In addition to using the NuFACE FIX to smooth lines, try the Lip Flick technique to smooth lip lines and plump the lips. This quick 3-minute treatment will also help prevent lip liner and lipstick from bleeding throughout the day. If time allows, treat the Mother-of-the-Bride to the 15-Minute Advanced Facial Lift. For Quick Makeup Changes or Touch-ups If you're on set and always on the go, be sure to keep the FIX and the Prep-N-Glow Cleansing Cloths handy for an instant perk-me-up! The cleansing cloths are dual-sided and remove makeup, dirt, oil, and impurities with soft spun lace while the polishing micro-dots provide gentle exfoliation to brighten skin. These individually wrapped cloths are enriched with hydrating hyaluronic acid as well as antioxidants and minerals to keep skin looking radiant and beautifully refreshed, at home or on the go. They're the perfect way to exfoliate and cleanse skin before your microcurrent treatment.   Once properly cleansed, perform the Instant Line Smoothing Treatment, an easy 3-minute routine, to get skin ready for the next look. The skin will be instantly smoother, and your makeup will apply easier and be less prone to creasing.
