In love!!!

Hi guys,
today maybe I wont share with you some of my work, but I would like to betray my secrets with you
about the most incredible experience I ever had! :D
I bought few days ago new brush, with totally crazy shape.

Here you can see three typical brushes to apply foundation. All of them have great shape and they work out on their way! But this little innocent brush in the middle it's the most awesome one!!!
It maybe sounds funny if I say that I discover Nude make-up in a totally new way thanks to this one make-up tool! but it's true! It's not important from which company you will buy it untill hair quality it's good!!
By this brush you can apply as much foundation as you want and cosmetic it's not getting between hair. This shape it's cut in this way,  that only the first line of hair it's holding foundation. So you can use really small drop of foundation and cover bigger space on your face!!

All those who need fast, natural make-up - for sure you can reach for this brush!!!

                                                     Correctors - yes or no ?
Many girls asked me: " Foundation is enough or should  I invest in Correctors? Make-up is better thanks to that or not? etc.
For many years I avoid correctors. When I started work as a MUA on market there were only few products to use as a correctors it wasn't to big variety (like right now you can choose correctors for dry/normal skin ..) So I decided durning summertime to give once again chance to this type of product!
I was suprised that it's so many kinds of them... in cream, tube for dry, normal, oily completions.
I think right not it's not so hard to choose good company with set that it will be perfect for you. But chalanging it could be:
- matching colour for your skin tone... (with Correctors the most important part is to choose colours that they fit exactly to our skin - that we wont make any stains!). Why? Not all companies who make correctors make huge variety of colours, of course in MAC, INGLOT etc you shouldn't have problem with that
- buy good enough powder which will matt your face for all day or wont dry out your skin!
(many correctors are really oily so it's good to use base before you will use product on your face! but because they are oily it's hard to find a powder which will matt your face all day or after few ours you can see that your skin it's to dry because powder you bought to mat corretors it's to strong for your face. )
Thats why....my finall answer is... "NO for Correctors if you want to keep good, fresh and not oily look for ALL DAY!". Corretors are maybe fun during Summer, and for those people who don't have bigger complaction problems. But those ones that need good make-up product I can for sure say  "Keep your attention on good Foundation!" and what I mean by that? Foundation needs to cover and match to your type and skin tone! If you will choose wisly perfect product for yourself believe me you don't need Correctors in your life at all!

Brush. Perfect Choice?

Perfect Brush?

From Experience I know that the most difficult challenge is to find good Brush that will fit to our desires and needs. As a first step to prepare yourself, before you will even start to search tools and visit every available place to make it happen is to ask yourself what you looking for exactly, Powder Brush, Rouge Brush etc.  It’s right now on a market a lot of shapes and different brushes so many of you feel confused what you should buy.  What you should know in the beginning? They are many kinds of hair that they use for brushes: Natural / Fake  / Synthetic . Avoid Fake and Natural. Fake it’s quite obvious why – who didn’t even once bought a brush that after one week looked like brushes to oil painting?! Why you should avoid Natural? First reason is that many people are alergic for them and they don’t work out so oft on face so it’s hard to make smooth make-up when your tools start to stuck in one position! If you asked me – my first set that I ever bought was from Natural hair and I need to say they used pretty fast, it wasn’t comfortable to work with them and after 3 years I had only 2 in good shape from 30 …

So why Synthetic one are better? Really often they have good shape and you can feel that hair on this brush is soft, nice and nothing should stuck on them!  

Another misteake that people make quite often when they are buying new tools is… that they are buying sets with 30… 40…..24 Brushes from one Company… believe me not every one of them is for you…not all of them are for your hand and they for sure not satisfy you like they should! Probably even half of them you wont never use!  So my advice for you is to find some time to visit shops with good tools – they really often have a samples of brushes that you can touch and see if they soft, good prepared to work with!

My set? Like you see below they come from different shops and companies.

Inglot, Bobby Brown, Eco Tools, Sephora, Kryolan, Kiko, Bare Minerals, Da Vinci. 

So few words about each of them:

1. Kiko – eyeliner brush / Kiko it’s maybe not the best cosmetic company. They have more trash stuff then some good one products but some of they brushes are quite good and price it’s quite cheap!

2/ 13/ 14 Pupa – eyeliner. lip brush / It’s one of those 2 Brushes from my first set that I ever bought. It’s maybe not the best brush I ever had but in emergency situations he is quite helpful!

3/ 11/ 16/ 18 Bare Minerals - eyeliner /lip brush / it’s one of my new tools, and I need to say they have amazing brushes but more about them later…

5. Bobby Brown – lip brush. For sure they have expensive brushes! But I need to say for now I’m satisfy how he is working out and in the future I’m pretty sure I will buy some other shape!

4. Inglot – lip brush. Comfy, good price but the only problem is that the black farb get off quite quick, and head is falling out from wood stick. I repare him by myself and it’s still work as it should but when you buy a brush you have hope you don’t need to replace him after 4 month…

6/ 7/ 19 Sephora – eyeliner brush, Powder Brush. Good price maybe not super cheap but when you compare prices with MAC / Make-up Forever you know you are in heaven! I love brushes from them but you need to be carefull – not all of them have good quality of hair!

8/ 9/ 10  Kryolan – Eyeshadow Brush, Eyeliner brush.  First brush that I bought was from Kryolan in my make-up school! To this day I have it in my set  and few new ones– they are Awesome! Maybe after few years colour from wood part fell down but it’s the smallest problem ever . they are medium expensive and not all shapes are good for me but I choose those once that I needed and …it was the best choice ever!

17. Eco tools – Rouge Brush. Something cheap that you can reach in Polish Rossman … in Germany I need to say I had problems to find it in any shop and it’s a pity but you can awlays try on Internet to reach it- really good brushes, nice hair quality!

15. Da vinci  - foundation Brush.  I bought it in German Douglas and …I didn’t know what to expect because they didn’t had sample to check it out if it’s good enough but… I have this brush since 2 years, it’s commfy to use, it’s soft ..price was not to hight and not super cheap!
