Priceless Products by Reanamation Studios

Hey Gang!

We are constantly asked, as makeup artists, what our favorite products are or what products we just can't live without. The list grows on and on over the years but our reader response has shown that you just love to read about it! Here are a few of the priceless products we just can't get enough of right now...

Trisha

Shadesticks

MAC shadesticks are my new favorite thing!! They are easy to use, portable and just overall fantastic. You can use them as a base for your eyeshadow or, if you are short on time, use them as an all over color for you eyes!!

I personally like to layer mine but I have used them alone for testing of quality and have always been satisfied! They don't crease or move all over on your eyelid like some crayon eyeshadows have been known to do.

It is not often that MAC will put out new colors of shadesticks, but luckily for me there are 4 new colors coming out in December!! You can expect a full review of them first thing in 2010!!

Product: Mud Loose Powder

Over the years I have tried many different compact powders and loose powders and I've recently fallen in love with Mud's loose powder($21.00)!!It gives you that same flawless matte coverage that other companies like MAC do only with out the cakey look.The powder seems to work best for me when used with a light cream foundation.I use Mud’s cream foundation in color YG2($26.00). The one thing I've found about the Mud loose powder is that it doesn't come in very many shades.There are only 5(Buttercream, Desert, Shell, Suede, and Zero), but they are all able to be mixed to make your perfect shade!!I use half desert and half zero.I would recommend this product because it's light enough to wear in the day but has enough matte coverage for any other occasion!You can find this product at www.mudshop.com under face products.

Reana

NARS Lip Laquer! Random, right? I know. It just looked so glossy and pigmented at Nordstrom so I had to splurge and pick one up. I bought Sweet Charity, a light lavender color, and have worn it every single day since. That's saying something because I have a ton of makeup and hardly ever wear the same shade twice in one week! It is a great product and definitely going in my regulars box for daily application. It lasts long and doesn't kiss off as easily as other products. It comes in a variety of shades so I highly recommend checking it out next time you're at Sephora or Nordstrom!

Hi I'm Veronica! by Veronica P.

Hi Everyone!!

My name is Veronica and I'm 20 years old. I am the newest makeup artist at Reanamation Studios, brought on team to help manage marketing and blogging. I am also the lead Special Effects artist, specializing in theatrical horror makeup AND beautiful airbrushing! I'm excited to be joining the Reanamation team! You can learn more about me and see photos of my work at www.reanamation.com. Make sure to type in the "www" or the website won't come up! We have added a new Special Effects page and gallery just for me and my work, so make sure to check it out and book your holiday beauty makeover or lessons soon! A little bit about me...

I was born and raised in San Diego. I'm currently in cosmetology school and the beauty industry is my biggest passion in life! Since I was a little girl I have always been fascinated with pictures of things that involved beauty. This is where my love for make-up started. I loved the way eyelashes and lips would look in a photo. Make-up can be used for many different styles and needs. I love doing make-up and being able to see all the enhancements that I've created. To me doing make-up is like going to a photo gallery and anything done with it is beautiful! I knew I wanted to do it all, make-up, hair color, cutting, everything so when I found Bay Vista I knew it was for me! They have an amazing make-up artistry program with a great instructor. I was a true MAC lover and still am but recently I have been getting more familiar with MUD. I want to learn and grow in this industry and that's why I am glad to join a team that works together showing they're love for make-up!! Thank you and I can't wait to see what's next!

Love,

Veronica
