Rachel creates a deep purple smokey eye using the Dose of Colors Blushing Berries palette. If you’re not a fan of purple, get creative with any palette you have on hand. Choose a bold color theme that will complement the green paint you’ll apply all over the face in future steps. Apply a silver eye glitter like, Jawbreaker from Eye Kandy, across the lid for an extra element of glam. Step 2: Add dramatic eyeliner and voluminous false lashes. Using a thin eyeliner brush, apply a thick black line of gel liner across the upper and lower lash lines. Wing it out past the corner of the eye. Finish your eye look with long faux lashes from any brand. You can use Ardell's Double Up Demi Wispies. Step 3: Begin creating the base of your green witch face. Before you apply green makeup all over your face, start creating a highlighted base. Using a Beautyblender or makeup sponge, apply Mehron Paradise White Makeup under the eyes, across the upper cheeks, down the sides of the nose, and on the chin. Step 4: Apply green makeup all over the face and neck. Starting with the Mehron Paradise Makeup in shade Amazon Green, use a brush to apply the green face paint over the areas under the eye painted in white. Cover the rest of your face in the same green shade using a wet makeup sponge. Extend the color down your neck. Step 5: Highlight and contour. For Highlighting: Go back over the undereye areas with white face paint and blend into the green. Do the same just above your lip (cupids bow) and on top of the chin. Your goal is to create highlighted areas to soften the harshness of the all-over green. For Contouring: Dip into the Mehron Dark Green shade and apply just under the cheekbones to create shaded definition. Step 6: Add bold color to your lips. Nothing says glam quite like a bold, red lip. Rachel uses Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in shade Beso to fill in her lips. Step 7: Begin the gorey detailing. Now the fun starts! Using a black gel liner and detail brush, create a curvy, jagged line down your face. Start at the top of your forehead and draw a line down your nose, off to the side and down along the bottom side of your face. This forms the foundation of your bloody gash. Once you’ve finished the outline, take a flat shadow brush and smudge the lines along the bottom of your face, as if you’re almost filling them in. Step 8: Create the appearance of dripping blood down your face. Using Mehron 3-D Gel, start at the top of the face and apply the gel formula along the outline you previously created. It’s okay if this is messy and not perfect; that’s the point. Add thicker chunks of gel in some spots, allowing the product to coagulate and clump together. Use your finger to move the gel around if it starts to run off your face. Before the product dries, but while it’s still wet and tacky, apply Mehron Stage Blood with a brush to the bottom part of your face where you smudged out the outline. Start by filling in the outlines and creating a dark red base. Take a small shadow brush and apply a liberal amount of Stage Blood (enough to wear it drips) and start applying on top of the red base you’ve just created. Allow the blood to drip and run down the face in parts. Continue this process everywhere you applied the 3-D Gel until the bloody gash is completed. Step 9: Add detail to your hair. For hair that’s parted towards the side of your face without the gash, make sure it’s curled and voluminous (the glam side) Apply baby powder or some other white loose powder and rub it in to create a gray, witch-like cast. For the other side of your hair (the gory side of your face), spritz water into your hair to create a wet, greasy look. Visit our YouTube channel for more step-by-step SFX tutorials.

This Halloween season, we’re teaming up with talented makeup artists across the United States to bring you a series of exclusive SFX makeup tutorials.

Girl Eyeliner Pencil – Black, $3 RCMA No Color Powder – 3oz, $14 Mehron Paradise Cake Makeup REFILL – Black, $7.95 Mehron Paradise Cake Makeup REFILL – White, $7.95 Total Cost: $75.79 Step 1: Cover eyebrows and face with white makeup paint. Dip a foundation brush into Ben Nye’s Clown White Makeup and apply liberally over eyebrows until completely covered. Using a clean makeup sponge, dip back into the Clown White and apply a thick, even layer all over the face. Step 2: Set makeup in place with setting powder. Using a large powder puff, apply transparent setting powder all over your face to lock makeup in place. Gently press the powder into your face, as opposed to lightly tapping with the puff. Janet uses RCMA No Color Powder. Step 3: Fill-in waterline with black eyeliner. Use a black eyeliner pencil, fill-in the bottom lash line and inner corner of the eyes. There is no such thing as applying too much here. Go heavy and thick to start the foundation of a “sunken eye” look that you’ll finish creating in next steps. Step 4: Cover full eyelid in black liner and smudge out. Using a flat concealer brush, apply black gel eyeliner all over the lid and underneath the eye to enhance the lined under eye. Diffuse to the corner of the brow bone and under eye area with a fluffier brush. Both eyes don’t need to be the same; asymmetry is perfect for this look. Step 5: Set black gel liner with black eyeshadow, and create shading. Set the gel liner all over your eyes with a black eyeshadow, like Mehron E.Y.E. Powder, and use a small smudge brush to create shadow-like details around eye area and brow bone. Step 6: Contour nose with black eyeshadow. Using that same smudge brush and black eyeshadow, begin to contour the nose to create a slimmer, bonier appearance. Shade in the nostril area create the look of a pointed, narrow tip. Step 7: Apply black gel liner all over lips. Apply black gel liner all over the lip, pressing them together to evenly distribute. Use that same concealer brush from earlier to create smudges and fine lines around the perimeter of the mouth. The messier the better, so don’t hold back! Step 8: Create shade around cheekbones, jawline, temple and forehead. Using a dark grey, matte eyeshadow, create shading along the cheekbones, under the jawline, around the temples and across the forehead. Once you’ve outlined your shading, go back over it with the black eyeshadow to deepen the color and create significant creases around the face. Again, the goal is to create an eerie, sunken appearance. Step 9: Darken shaded areas even more. Take your shading a step further! Lightly apply the black gel liner across those areas that were just shaded. You don’t need to fill in all the way, just lightly swipe the dark gel liner across, almost as if creating accent lines. Set the gel liner in place with black eyeshadow. Step 10: Stipple black paint on top of dark areas; do the same with white paint on white areas. Using Wolfe FX Hydrocolors in black and white, add more texture and depth to the face. Take a wet stippling sponge and dip into the black paint, applying lightly over the dark areas of the face. Repeat this process with white paint, creating highlight around the lighter areas of the face. Step 11: Create veins! Apply thin black lines around the face, smudging out with your finger. Start with the grey eyeshadow, creating small, thin lines all around the face. Go back over all lines with black eyeshadow for added definition. Use your own discretion as to where you place these. This doesn’t have to be perfect! Small details make all the difference, and being messy with this techniques makes the final look even better. Step 12: Create pointed teeth! Create the appearance of sharp, pointed teeth using black Kryolan Tooth Enamel. Create a V-shape at the bottom of each tooth and fill in the bottom portion below the V. This looks like you’re teeth are thin daggers – creepy!! Visit our YouTube channel for a step-by-step video tutorial of The Nun makeup look.

This Halloween season, we’re teaming up with talented makeup artists across the United States to bring you a series of exclusive SFX makeup tutorials.

Girl Gel Glide Eyeliner Pencil – Very Black, $5 RCMA No Color Powder – 3 oz, $11.16 CRC Makeup Velour Powder Puff – Single, $1.99 Total Cost: $66.05 Buy all Step 1: Apply a full coverage foundation all over the face and set in place. Andie uses Danessa Myricks Vision Cream Cover to create a flawless, full coverage base. Your goal is to create the appearance of pore-less skin, which you’ll later bring to life with vibrant color and cat-like detailing. Set foundation in place with RCMA No Color Powder and a CRC Powder Puff. Step 2: Create a bold, colorful smoky eye. Adjust colors to match the personality of whichever CATS character you’re re-creating. For Andie’s Bombalurina eye look, she uses the Ben Nye Studio Color Rainbow Palette. Start with the bright yellow shade. Apply inside the crease of your eye and extend just above the brow bone. Next, apply the light green all over your lid. Step 3: Create a red-to-orange ombre underneath your eyebrows. Take a flat liner brush and dip into a pigmented red cream paint, like the one included in Danessa Myricks’ Waterproof Cream Palette. Create a line underneath your eyebrow, from the inner bottom corner all the way to the outer bottom corner. Re-visit the Ben Nye Rainbow Palette, this time dipping a fluffy eyeshadow brush into the vibrant red color. Apply that on top of the red cream paint and just below, creating a faded appearance – from deep pigmented red to more sheer. Below the red ombre, apply the orange shade from that same Ben Nye palette to fill in the gap between the red and yellow shades on your eye. The final look should be an ombre rainbow – red at top that fades into the bright green on your lids. Step 4: Fill-in brows, creating the appearance of wispy fly-aways as you go. Using the black Danessa cream paint, trace your eyebrows and define the shape. Fill in with the cream paint and draw staggered fly away, whisker-like hairs coming out off the brows. Set with black eyeshadow to lock in place. Step 5: Line your eyes - heavily! Using the same black cream paint, dramatically line the upper lash line, creating a winged cat eye look. The heavier the line, the better. Bomblaurina is all about sass, so add any additional eyeliner details you see fit. The more dramatic, the better! Set your liner with black shadow to lock in place. Step 6: Create lighter white patches around your face. Apply white cream paint to the bottom portion of your face, from the bottom of your nose out to the laugh lines and to the bottom of your chin. Also paint your nose white and bring it up in between the eyebrows and across the middle of your forehead. Apply bronzer around the rest of your face, the parts without white cream paint, to accentuate the lighter sections you’ve created. Step 7: Define your lips. Using the Danessa Myricks cream red paint from your palette, apply a dramatic red lip. Step 8: Create a cat-like nose and mouth. Using a black gel liner, Andie uses the L.A. Girl Glide Gel Liner, fill in the bottom portion of your nose in all black. Draw a line from the bottom of your nose down to the top center of your upper lip. Fully outline the perimeter of your lips. Dip a fluffy shadow brush into a black eyeshadow and lightly buff out the line connecting your nose and lips. Using the L.A. Girl Gel Liner, apply dots above your upper lip on both sides. Extend a smile line from the corners of your mouth outward. Step 9: Add more color to the face. Mix the red and orange eyeshadows from the Ben Nye Rainbow Palette and apply to the cheeks for an added pop of color that ties the look together. Step 10: Create whiskers. This is the most time-consuming part of the whole look. Using a very thin detail dish, dip into the black cream paint again and create thin line strokes along your cheeks. Fill in gaps with white cream paint strokes to add dimension. Once you’ve finished your cheeks, do the same on each corner of the forehead. Finish the look with any last-minute detailing, like lining below the eye, apply false lashes – anything that adds extra drama!

This Halloween season, we’re teaming up with talented makeup artists across the United States to bring you a series of exclusive SFX makeup tutorials. Twice a month thru October, we’ll release step-by-step video tutorials based on the top requested looks for Halloween. To kick off our series, artist Kelly Tull creates her version of the classic comic book pop art character. Before getting started: apply a full-coverage foundation and set in place! Apply a full coverage foundation to your face before you get started, and make sure to set it in place with a high-performance setting powder. Kelly used Ben Nye Pretty Pink Translucent Face Powder. For all subsequent steps, Kelly primarily uses one Mehron palette to complete the look, along with a Ben Nye eyeshadow palette to create color on the eye. Shop The Look Ben NyeRainbow Palette$58 Ben Nye Pretty Pink Powder1.5oz, $12 Mehron30-Well Palette$129.95 To re-create Kelly’s look, these are the products she used: Mehron Paradise Makeup Palette – 30-well, $129.95 Ben Nye Studio Color Rainbow Palette – STP-80, $58 Ben Nye Pretty Pink Translucent Face Powder – 1.5oz, $12 Total Cost: $199.95   Get the look for less!

Using a black face paint, create an outline across the top of your forehead. Next, cover & shape your eyebrows with that same black paint. Then create a defining line down the bridge of your nose. Step 2: Add color to eye lids. Kelly applies Ben Nye Eye Shadow in shade Green Leaf to the lid, then goes on top of that color with Ben Nye Eye Shadow in shade Caribbean. Use any color combination you prefer to make the look your own. Vibrant greens or blues are a nice contrast to the reds, blacks and yellows you’ll be using in the next steps. Step 3: Apply winged liner & create definition on the eye and nose. Using the same black face paint from Step 1, create a long, winged eyeliner for dramatic effect. Take what’s left on your brush to apply a black line in the crease of your eye. Shade in your nostrils with that same black paint and create outlines around the corners of your nose. These are the first of many comic-style details you’ll apply to the face. Step 4: Fill-in water line and define underneath. Using a white eye pencil, fill-in your waterline. The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in shade Milk is a great option. Using white paint, extend the waterline just below the eye & create a line underneath with black paint. Finish your eyes with false lashes. Step 5: Fill-in lips and line for definition. Kelly uses a combination of pink colors in the Mehron Paradise Palette to fill in her lips. If you don’t have the palette on hand, any pink or red lipstick you have will work. Once you’ve applied a thick coat of color to your lips, take the black paint again and line the outside of your mouth. Take what’s left on your brush and fill in the inner portion of your lips. When closed, each lip should look completely outlined from inside out. To complete your lips, apply highlighting to the upper and bottom lip using white paint. Step 6: Add black lines on collar bones, down neck and from bottom of ear down shoulders and arms. If you’re planning to extend this look beyond your face, apply the black paint you’ve been using throughout this tutorial and create thick lines across your collar bone, down the neck, and from the bottom of your ear all the way down your shoulders and arms. It’s your unique look! Get creative. Step 7: Define ears and add exaggerated lash lines around eye. Using a thin brush, create exaggerated on the high points and creases of your ear. Add extended lash marks around the eye. Step 8: Paint hair. Painting your hair really helps take this look to the next level. Kelly used the Mehron Paradise Paint in shade Mango to add color to her hair. Step 9: Add iconic pop art dots all over face and body. This is the fun part! Using any paint colors you like, apply those classic comic book dots around your face and body. Kelly chose to create patterns down her cheekbones and around her forehead using different color combinations. Step 10: Add any additional detailing to complete the look. Once you’ve completed all previous steps, take a thin detailing brush and add thin black lines anywhere you need some extra, over-exaggerated definition. You could define laugh lines or dimples, for example. Play around with color and apply more dots or color definition around the face. You can even take it a step further, like Kelly does, and line the sides of your arm and in between each of your fingers with black paint. There is no right or wrong way to apply additional detailing and will depend on the final look you want to achieve.

No colors go to waste in this palette! Explain your vision behind the color combinations you chose for this palette.

I didn’t include any wasted space on a color that would get ignored or used seldomly. What makes Viseart’s eyeshadow formula a popular choice for pro makeup artists? Mary: The formula is smooth and spreadable, like butter. You won’t see any fallout like many shadows on the market. The high pigment gives you a great color pay off – a little goes a long way! More About Mary: Beauty Visionary & Founder of Camera Ready Cosmetics Life as a Southern California makeup artist during the 1990s was no walk in the park. Artists struggled to find the makeup products they needed. Most pro makeup stores at the time had poor websites, bad customer service, and a lack of respect for customers. Mary Erickson was enjoying a thriving career in the fashion and commercial beauty space – a dream that was 20+ years in the making. Her success included a roster of jobs with every major television network, numerous national magazine spreads, and transformations of the Hollywood elite. Yet, the need for a better makeup shopping experience was always in the back of her mind. So Mary did what any super-woman would do – rolled up her sleeves and got to work building Camera Ready Cosmetics. “I never set out to have a big supply store or popular website,” Mary said. “My goal at the time was to carry a few popular pro products for artists outside of Los Angeles and New York City.” What started as a small side hustle in Mary’s tiny living room, has quickly grown into a shopping experience loved by hundreds-of-thousands of customers from around the world. Camera Ready Cosmetics exists today as the world’s largest online professional makeup store. “My #1 piece of advice for anyone working towards a career in beauty: always be willing to learn, and stay open to change,” Mary said. “You must adapt quickly to ever-changing circumstances in a fast-paced industry.” Shop the exclusive CRC X Viseart Eyeshadow Palette online and in-store at Camera Ready Cosmetics.

As pro artists and wearers of makeup, we’re in daily contact with makeup brushes. The team at Camera Ready is frequently asked to identify the “golden rule” of how often, what method, and with what tools we wash and dry our makeup brushes.  For starters, there doesn’t seem to be one steadfast rule everyone follows. So we’ve narrowed down a simple, 3-step brush cleaning routine that takes minimal time and effort for maximum results – better makeup application, longer lasting brushes, and a more sanitary makeup kit. The Importance of Proper Brush Care Every swipe of a brush across the face leaves product (and possibly bacteria) on top of the skin. The longer you wait to clean your brushes, the more buildup of bacteria you allow, which leads to breakouts, irritation, and – in extreme cases – infection.  The vast array of brush soaps and cleansing tools on the market today leaves little excuse not to practice routine brush maintenance. As a general rule of thumb, every two weeks is the very least you should clean a personal brush collection. Once a week is ideal.  For use on clients, we suggest cleaning makeup brushes after each job, or at least once a week.  Crazy Merman Brush Soap"Guava Fig" Sigma BeautySigMagic Brushampoo Cinema SecretsPro Brush Cleaner Kit How To Wash Makeup Brushes In 3 Easy Steps   Protect your investment in makeup brushes with this simple, super-fast cleansing routine that will prolong the lifespan of your bristles: Step 1: Wet the makeup brush, and apply a sanitizing brush soap. For sensitive skin, choose a natural brush soap with skin-nourishing, organic or vegan ingredients. Step 2: Swirl your brush in circular motions on a cleansing mat until a foamy lather forms. Add more soap, as needed. Keep swirling until the soap is rinsed out completely and water runs clear. Step 3: Gently squeeze the brush with your hands to remove excess water, and hang brushes bristle-side down from a drying tower* for 6-8 hours or until fully dry. *If you don’t have access to a drying tower, use a hair-tie or rubber band to fasten brushes to a rack or bar to dry.

As professional makeup artists, we know there are countless, often unpublicized, non-makeup products that support our work. Without these holy grail kit staples we couldn’t do our jobs. Well, we probably could…but it would be an added, unnecessary level of challenge. Since no two kits are alike, we asked YOU which non-makeup beauty essentials you relied on for flawless, effortless makeup application. From breath mints and phone chargers to fragrance sprays and can't-live-without tools, discover the non-makeup beauty essentials found inside every pro artist kit. BECCA Backlight Priming Filter Image: BECCA Cosmetics Scott Barnes Body Bling Image: Scott Barnes Embryolisse Miracle Cream  Image: Embryolisse SKIN PREP & SET Erica Ages, Georgia Makeup Artist “The BECCA Backlight Priming Filter is a staple in my kit because I can use it with a wide range of skin tones. It is great on skin by itself, but you can also use it under, mixed with, or on top of foundation to give a soft skin-like glow.” Gia McCloud, Dallas Makeup Artist “I have been using Ben Nye Final Seal for years on my clients, especially in the hot and humid summer weather. A few sprays will leave my applications locked in all day. This matte finishing spray also provides an awesome waterproof coat on eyeshadow looks, too!” Doris Torres-Collins, Florida Makeup Artist “Scott Barnes has been a staple in my pro kit for years, with his original launch years ago. Body Bling is my go-to when I work with models and fashion shows. Scott Barnes has been a friend, a mentor, and an inspiration, so it's great to have products I can use that are professional grade and red carpet ready!” Ana Sanchez-Burdette, Dallas Makeup Artist “Aside from actually training with Maurice Stein (the creator of Cinema Secrets), I love how smooth Cinema Secrets Primer makes foundation and/or correctors glide on. My applications are seamless and blend well. No “pooling” into the pores. It’s great for HD work.” Ruth M., Canadian Makeup Artist “I keep Danessa Myricks Beauty Oil in my kit because it makes everyone look like they have a flawless, glowing complexion, regardless of age or skin type. It absorbs and hydrates skin without an oily feel. It also mixes with foundation and moisturizer perfectly, particularly the Vision Cream Cover. The glow is natural, never overdone.” Samantha Navarro, Maryland Makeup Artist “Embryolisse Lait Crème is an absolute kit essential! Absorbs quickly, but provides a glowing, moisturized finish to the skin. Great for nearly all skin types and textures!” Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard wearing Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Eye Gels Image: Skyn Iceland Mehron Barrier Spray Image: Mehron Cosmetics Patchology Sheet Masks Image: Patchology Katelynn Stuckey, Southern California Makeup Artist “Mehron Barrier Spray never leaves my kit because it not only creates a water proof/sweat proof barrier, but also is such a versatile product. I sometimes will mix with pigment to create a budge proof look. Weather it’s bridal makeup or special effects, it’s a must have!” Laura Cotterill, United Kingdom Makeup Artist “Sheet masks are my go-to product for hydration in my makeup kit. I love using masks that contain vitamin C for the ultimate skin drink to boost energy and hydration. Masks help hydrate before makeup application, and teamed with eye sheets, everything just looks flawless!” Keisha Kerr, Canadian Makeup Artist “Skyn Iceland’s cooling eye patches [are a must-have], and they double as shadow shields.” Heather Hawkins, North Carolina Makeup Artist “Sunscreen is ALWAYS a staple in my kit. It not only gives protection to keep all the bad UVs away, but it also can act as a primer, a moisturizer and give a youthful glow - depending on the sunscreen. I love multi-purpose products! Saves space & weight when carrying a mobile salon!” Conture Hair Remover Image: Conture Paw Palette In Action Image: Dani Rivera MUA Temptu Air PRO Image: Temptu TOOLS TO INVEST IN Candice Ennis, Virginia Makeup Artist “Color theory is a necessary fundamental for any make-up artist. It’s an essential technique when understood, but can be a challenge to master. I always keep a color wheel in my kit for custom undertone foundation mixing and creative body art color designs.” Gayla Gastler, Chicago Makeup Artist “[I always have] a small battery-operated facial trimmer to remove facial fuzz.” Naomi Blakeslee, California Makeup Artist "I use BeautyBlenders for a few reasons: 1) A damp beauty blender gives me a flawless dewy finish. 2) They make it easier to reach awkward areas that many brushes can’t reach, like around the nose and around the eyes. 3) Many people believe BeautyBlenders are for application only, however, they work just as good for removing makeup!" Kirsty Smit-Wingfield, Virginia Makeup Artist “I love the Paw Palettes! They are so unique, keep my kit looking neat and my products clean.” Amber Preston, Ohio Makeup Artist “I’m OBSESSED with the Temptu Airbrush Compressor for so many reasons: 1) It’s lightweight & compact, saving room in my kit. 2) It’s cordless! You won’t always have an outlet in the space you’re working. 3) Long battery life! It’s quiet, but mighty spraying capabilities include three different speed settings. It truly is the best compressor I’ve ever tried, and I’ve gone through many in my career.” Julie Fischer, Philadelphia Makeup Artist “Vueset has become invaluable in my kit. They help condense my products, and I can easily see what I have with their space-saving, transparent design. Since starting to use Vueset cases, I feel I work more quickly and efficiently on the job. I use them for necessities such as lipsticks, false eyelashes, prep products, disposables and more!” The Smithfolio Brush Case Image: Smith Cosmetics The Makeup Light In Action Image: Hanna Claire Linder MUA Tuscany Pro Makeup Chair Image: Tuscany Pro Chairs EQUIPMENT ESSENTIALS Estrella Lopez, Miami Makeup Artist “[I prefer using a] brushfolio to keep my brushes organized and easily accessible.” Glynnis Garcia, Nashville Makeup Artist “The Makeup Light is the only light anyone needs for makeup. I weigh 95 lbs. Do you really seeing me lugging a hair kit, a makeup kit, AND a ring light?! Heck no. I can attach it on a mirror, curtains, the tripod, on a chair, anywhere! TML all the way.” Dana Hall, New York Makeup Artist “Many times I would go on location, and there wasn’t a chair high enough. I would have to bend over, squat, or put myself in very awkward positions to work on a client's face. Now, no matter where I go for a makeup job, my Tuscany Pro Makeup Chair comes with me. The attached strap allows me to carry it on my shoulder, and off I go!” Jessi Pagel, Texas Makeup Artist “The Zuca Sport Artist Rolling Kit is my absolute favorite for multiple reasons:  1) I can alternate from each job to have exactly what I need when I need it.  2) The organizational options are endless! 3) It travels with ease and is so portable! For celebrity makeup/hair jobs, I like the Zuca Artist Backpack. It has the ability to serve as a hair kit alone.  An additional bonus is that it fits right on top of the rolling Zuca or you can wear it as a backpack.” Jilladair Carlson, Missouri Makeup Artist “Everybody is going through something. Getting your makeup done whether for a film, commercial or wedding can be stressful for clients, which can make my job more difficult. When someone sits in my chair, they get a "Soul" package to soothe their soul.  My Soul Kits include: 1) Hershey Kisses (Who doesn't need a kiss?) 2) Lifesaver Mints (We all feel better with fresh breath.) 3) A tea bag  4) An instant latte packet 5) A protein bar 6) An empty paper cup (They can drop all of their woes.) It never fails to put a smile on my client’s face, which helps them relax so we can both enjoy the ride.” Crazy Merman Brush Soap  Image: Crazy Merman Sigma Beauty Eye Primers  Image: Sigma Beauty Inglot Duraline Image: Inglot Cosmetics MISCELLANEOUS MUST-HAVES Pam Jean, Kentucky Makeup Artist Aromatherapy: “As a makeup artist I began using essential oils to help me when working. They provide a sense of calm and focus that is crucial to provide my clients with an energetic, balanced, yet calm experience. Take your bride from frazzled to dazzled with a travel diffuser, roller baller, neck wrap for the therapeutic benefits to elevate their bridal beauty experience.” Camera Ready Cosmetics Brush Cleaner: Crazy Merman's handmade brush soaps begin with a cruelty-free, vegan base of natural ingredients and essential oils. Their fusion of coconut and olive oil removes makeup from natural and synthetic brushes, leaving them luxuriously soft, clean and conditioned. Because of their lack of harsh chemicals, Crazy Merman soaps are also perfect for cleaning beauty sponges and other tools. Eloise Reed, United Kingdom Makeup Artist A Diary: “[Helps me] know exactly when and where my next client will be, and I can easily see where I have free time to book new clients.” Cameron Carson, Virginia Makeup Artist Duraline by Inglot: “A must-have for mixing into eyeshadows! Duraline helps with smudging liner on clients with hooded lids who have trouble with excessive creasing. Delivers no-crease, all-day wear!” Glynn Renee Bryant, New York Makeup Artist Phone Charger: “I’ve been on jobs where no one has a phone charger, so I carry an industrial size USB charging box for up to six phones at a time. I also carry an all-natural bug repellent. Some makeup trailers I’ve worked in have mosquitos. Basically, I try to be a walking CVS.” Camera Ready Cosmetics Eyeshadow Primer: The Smashbox Photo Finish 24-hr Shadow Primer keeps shadow in place, not all over your face for 24 hours. It’s a fade-proof, sheer, colorless formula that intensifies color and finish to ensure your eye looks survive workouts, nights out and big days. Felicia Yvette, Maryland Makeup Artist Magnifying Glass: “Sam Fine or Lottie Tomlinson (one of them!) taught me to keep a magnifying glass [in my kit] so I can always see those tiny little details, especially for beauty work.” Tracy Saunders, Seattle Makeup Artist Nail Polish: “Always carry nail polish. I’m surprised at how many clients’ nails look terrible!” Janet Richardson, International Makeup Artist Spatulas: “I must have my Graftobian Spatula! I use it for so many things, especially to scrape foundation to prevent cross contamination.” Philip B. Jet Set Hairspray Image: Philip B.

As makeup artists, we appreciate the beauty, creativity, and artistry behind tattoos, but concealing tattoos? That’s an art all on its own!  Whether you’re covering tattoos for a bride’s big day or transforming a client’s body into a tattoo-less character for film, tv, or modeling – cover up makeup for tattoos takes time, lots of practice, and high-quality makeup.  We surveyed our network of makeup artists to discover the tried-and-true tattoo covering makeup products that get the job done. If you’re in the market for easy, flawless tattoo cover up makeup, these pro-approved products are the best place to start!   Top 9 Brands of Makeup for Covering Up Tattoos: Ben Nye Cinema Secrets Danessa Myricks Beauty European Body Art Joe Blasco Kryolan Professional Make-Up Mehron Reel Creations Skin Illustrator CONCEALING TATTOOS WITH BEN NYE Gary Parson, Kim Dawson Agency - Dallas, TX “[Once I've applied color for tattoo coverage,] I stipple from a Ben Nye Essential HD Matte Foundation Palette to mimic skin tone and texture. I also use a dab of matte powder or cream blush and/or bronzer to replicate the color of the skin in a more realistic way." TATTOO COVERING WITH CINEMA SECRETS Pauline Griffiths-Gough, Former MUA - Chester, United Kingdom “When I was still doing makeup, I only ever used Cinema Secrets Foundation for tattoo coverage. It also doubled as flawless coverage for the face. I had clients come in with bad acne, saying nothing had ever covered their problem areas like that foundation did.” DANESSA MYRICKS BEAUTY MAKES GREAT MAKEUP FOR TATTOOS Mary Erickson, Former MUA & Owner of Camera Ready Cosmetics “The Vision Cream Cover is an all-in-one foundation & concealer that covers everything, including hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and, yes, tattoos. It’s formulated with texture-minimizing properties to create perfect complexion on camera and HD film.” EUROPEAN BODY ART COVER UP MAKEUP Chris Milone, Christopher Milone Makeup - New York City “I use EBA Airbrush for most large tattoo coverage. I barely need to color correct first because it's so opaque. It leaves a matte finish and holds up well on a long day of shooting.” Mandy Danielle Benton, TV and Film Makeup Artist - Dallas, TX “To knock out the tattoo, first use the Coral Adjustor mixed with their skin tone from EBA Endura, then go over it with their skin tone color. Because of the highly pigmented, alcohol-based formula, Endura has just the right amount of skin-like sheen and won’t transfer. Plus, I love EBA's skin tone colors! For darker skin, you often just need to use the skin tone match without mixing an adjustor.” Elizabeth Rist, Elizabeth Rist Makeup Artistry - Dallas, TX “My go-to for skin-like coverage is EBA’s alcohol-based Endura Airbrush line. It offers great coverage and doesn’t fade or transfer.” JOE BLASCO MAKEUP FOR COVERING TATTOOS Mary Erickson, Former MUA & Owner of Camera Ready Cosmetics “The Blue Neutralizer is easy to use and works like magic to cover dark tattoos. The entire Joe Blasco Tattoo Cover collection features a variety of shades, each named after the pigmentation it corrects. They also double as high-pigment, concentrated concealers that hide rosacea, acne, and other skin conditions.” KRYOLAN PROFESSIONAL MAKE-UP FOR CONCEALING TATTOOS Doria Miyata-Murphy, Doria Murphy Makeup - Boston Massachusetts “My go-to in general is Kryolan Professional Make-Up’s Dermacolor Camouflage Creme. It offers enough coverage to completely camouflage a tattoo without compromising the final desired effect -- the appearance of real, healthy skin!” TATTOO COVERING WITH MEHRON Brandy Page, Brandy Page Makeup Artistry - Richmond, VA “I love the Tattoo Covering Wheel because of the array of colors you can mix and match to get the perfect skin tone for your client. The creamy, waterproof formula covers even the darkest tattoos, birthmarks, and skin discolorations. And because it doesn't budge, it's also amazing for weddings!” REEL CREATIONS COVER UP MAKEUP FOR TATTOOS Missy Nyberg, Forbidden Makeup “Over the years, I’ve relied on the Flesh Tone Palette for tattoo coverage. I love that Reel Creations has the best color match of flesh tones compared to any other product. It’s always in my set bag. I set the makeup with RCMA No Color Powder, then spray twice with Reel Creations Blue Aqua Sealer.” CONCEALING TATTOOS WITH SKIN ILLUSTRATOR BY PPI Trevor Thompson, Trevor Thompson Makeup - Louisville, KY “For quick, durable on-set tattoo coverage, I use the Skin Illustrator Flesh Tone Palette with a splatter brush to lay down a nice base color, and then I go in with several different adjuster tones from the Skin Illustrator Complexion Palette to break up the coverage and blend out the edges. These are my tried-and-true go-to’s because they're highly pigmented, last all day on-set, and look phenomenal on camera!” Kat DeJesus, Kat D Makeup - Denver, CO “I love the Skin Illustrator On Set FX Palette. I use it for color correction before applying airbrush on top. I also use it to fleck the skin for a natural finish afterward. Being able to work in sheer layers and not have to worry about it moving all day makes this palette ideal for anything on location or when it needs to be completely waterproof.” Elizabeth Rist, Elizabeth Rist Makeup Artistry - Dallas, TX “The On Set Flesh Tone Palette is one of my top products for tattoo coverage. It makes neutralizing easy while offering great cover. It won’t melt with body heat or transfer. Great for everything from bridal to film!” Shop these tattoo cover up makeup favorites and more online and in-store at Camera Ready Cosmetics. Discounts apply for pro artist members.
