MUA's - What are your favorite Eyeshadows
To all the MUA's in the house - please share. What are your favorite eyeshadows on the market today. If you want BOLD, VIBRANT color, what do you use? Please share! I have some Ben Nye Colors that I like but looking to expand my case - any and all suggestions are welcomed. Sep 09 05 11:24 am Link someone needs to reply because i would like to know too!  Sep 10 05 08:39 am Link MAC eyeshadow still are the best. The palettes are amazing for your kit! I used everything there is (almost). I don't use MAC everything, the payoff of their colors...wow! Also, if you can purchase their "pigments" that is their most intense color. tip: try a little concealer or a light cream as a base for the eye first, then the shadow. STIPLE, don't swipe the brush and you'll pack on the color. Good luck.

Christian Dior Chanel Tarte Shu Uemura Shiseido Stila Make Up Forever Bourjois NARS Laura Mercier (cream shadows) TiGi Bed Head If you do your research you'll find that a lot of these lines offer pro discounts with agency letter head, union card, and sometimes call sheets. As well as offering very generous gratis if you do the right type of work. Sep 10 05 01:36 pm Link Stargazer and Ben Nye remain my favorites. Sep 10 05 02:36 pm Link MAKE-UP FOREVER, MOD COSMETICS, SHU AND OFCOURSE MAC. ALL COLORS, MILLED JUST RIGHT FOR THE BESY IMPACT, DEEP OR SOFT BLENDED OR CONTOURED. Sep 11 05 04:53 pm Link Thanks Everyone! I'm going to try MAC Pigments as eyeshadows - I have some of those in my kit already. I'll also look into the other suggestions. Thanks for everyone who took the time to reply. I know alot of the companies offer discounts. I need to just put my request in. Thanks again everyone! If anyone else wants reply please go right ahead. Sep 12 05 08:56 pm Link Another option is Twylah Bleu...granted it is my own line of color cosmetics, but it does fit the criteria you're looking for -- end plug. Sep 13 05 02:06 am Link I have so many Fav's MAC and Nars are my pic for brands for now. It's not easy really having a fav tho I love them all Sep 25 05 06:38 pm Link Chanel eyeshadows FTW. Great depth, intensity and sheen. Sep 25 05 06:56 pm Link I love Chanel for personal use, but the shadows are a bitt too subtle for me to use for work...I love Shu Uemura shadows...for less expensive brands, I love NYX...and MOD Cosmetics has this 88 color palette that I recently bought and I love the convenience of having that many colors without having to carry a huge bulk, plus their colors have pretty good pigment and they do last. As far as foundations...it depends on what you're looking for...I don't have one brand I favor, it just depends...but for work I mostly use RCMA Sep 29 05 03:21 pm Link I sometimes have to do my own makeup for shoots and I live and die by MAC, though I've found ULTA's store brand to produce some great results lately too. Sep 30 05 03:20 am Link I don't like the way MAC wears at all but I love the cream shadows at Illuminarecosmetics.com limited colors but if you are into browns you wont find an easier shadow to work with. I like them so much I am going to inquire about selling them in my online makeup store. Oct 02 05 07:46 pm Link I love Nars, Makeup Forever, Shu Uemura, Ben Nye, and Mac. Oct 04 05 05:54 am Link my favorite is Kryolan. unfortunately you cant buy from them directly, but theyre on ebay. and ive stocked up on a butt load when i knew someone who worked for them lol. its theatrical makeup at its best!! gorgeous!, a little goes a long way, and the color goes on exactly how the color looks. no silver looking and going on grey like most brands. it will look like you have aluminum foil on your face also mac obviously, but any good natural pigment makeup is a must. stargazer, i agree, awesome colors there too. also just a simple brand ive fell in love with is called Prestige. you can find them in like walgreens and drug stores. great great inexpensive items. a general rule of thumb i use when looking for good makeup brands, is if they have the brightest unusual or completely primary colors. this means theyre not focusing on trends and popular selections. all of the makeup brands i listed have all the extreme colors but obviously have anything normal as well. as for other brands i love, i love tony and tina but theyre gone  and i love urban decay. im a big supporter of them because they dont test on animals. also their "liquid metal eyes in xenon" has gotta be my favorite eyeshadow on the planet!!!!! Jan 22 06 11:56 am Link I love Make-up Forever their pigments are fantastic and they last forever on the skin, I am in love with my BenNye shimmer pallets the colours are bright and blend so nicely , I also like NARS ,but not all of the colours. Hope that helps Jan 22 06 12:51 pm Link I love Makeup Forever Professional Star Powder. They are very metallic and bold. I also like some stuff from Ricky's like Mattese (also very bold). Ricky's also has a new eye shadow palette that contains 88 colors for $40. Can't go wrong there, you have both Matte and Shimmery colors. Oh and Benefit has some nice Shimmer Powders as well. Hope that helps! Yisell Jan 22 06 12:59 pm Link Thanks for the wonderful discussion. I grew a bit frustrated not having makeup available as quick and easy as myself, so I have dabbled a little - bought a few MAC shadows and pigments in metallics. One look I've seen in a few photos is a chalky glow of intense yellow smudged out on the edges. I'm curious what brands are known for that look. Wish I had the photo link to offer as an example of what I'm talking about. It would go great with colored feathers on the eyelashes. Jan 22 06 01:20 pm Link Dior....they are $50 a pop and there pigments are wonderful! I think better than MAC! But even with my discount they are still too expensive!

Jan 22 06 01:28 pm Link If you want bold and vibrant... Trucco is the bomb. They have one of the last true blacks out there and, it goes on smoothe and heavy without looking too globby. Jan 22 06 01:29 pm Link KRYOLAN BEN NYE MAC PIGMENTS MILANI URBAN DECAY CARGO (BUILDABLE) MAKE-UP FOREVER THESE ARE WHAT I USE, AND I LIKE SOME IMPACTFULL STUFF... Jan 22 06 06:01 pm Link I like Ben Nye, MAC pigments, and Nars (shout out to the Rated R duo...my two fave Nars colors). Jan 22 06 06:05 pm Link I love Rated R Faith!! When that came out I thought, that's it, I have every color I would ever need! lol That lasted about a day... Anyhooters, I love Ben Nye, Kryolan and my OLD MAC shadows are my faves for rich, intense color. I could take or leave the pigments from MAC. I have so many, but find myself reaching for them less and less. Jan 23 06 02:32 pm Link ok obvil\ously MAc and Nars---but lets talk drugstore---- one word MILANI. really. and for creams...ther REVLON CREME palettes are fab ( they do crease w/ no powder though. the colors are beautiful and i do use these constantly.)
