I was just curious to see what the favorite brand of makeup people use for photo sessions? Being a bodypainter I don't always use the typical makeup besides for what I do. I mostly use Ben Nye, Mehron, Lancolm and some others.

well, I know that for a dramatic look my makeup artists often use MAC, and in the past I have used smashbox for a more natural look. Hope this helps

I have not used MAC but for a few times, but i really like some of their products. I am moving to Houston soon and am hoping to find a Sephora somewhere around there, hehe.

CoverGirl Ultimate Finish liquid powder make-up (classic tan)

CoverGirl plum satin eyeshadow ~ because it's been said that plum brings out the gold in your brown eyes

black Astonishing Lengths mascara from AVON

Glossy Wine lip tint from AVON

As far as accessories, I used to love wearing my silver belly chain (that I got from eBay), but the damn thing broke.  So I'll have to get another one.

I also like to bring along my high heels that light up.  smile

I always bring a bottle of baby oil or baby oil gel.

I've been searching for a great foundation because of the problems I've had with products containing titanium dioxide and finally happened upon Laura Mercier's Silk Creme Foundation.  I've tried lots of products but this (along with the Mercier secret concealer and loose powder) is hands down the best I have ever used.  It's oil free and gives the skin a beautiful finish.  Highly recommended.

I like MAC, Ben Nye(pigments), Smashbox, NARS (eyeshadows), Make-Up Forever (shimmers) & I have some lancome.

Foundations- I like MAC's but Most of the MUAs here seem to use RCMA & Cinema Secrets Foundation Palettes ( I have not tried them yet, but plan on getting some) www.camerareadycosmetics.com
