IMATS 2012
IMATS this year was great! I watched a few demos from a Temptu Air brushing demo as well as some amazing special effects demos. I had the pleasure of meeting Eve Pearl in person, the creator of Eve Pearl products, as well as Dany Sanz founder and creator of Makeup Forever. I tried and tested all kinds of new products while bumping into all kinds of makeup artist friends. My makeup haul was great! I got everything off my list that I needed to get except for some small tools but I'll just add them to the growing list for next year's IMATS.

Face Atelier

"I have shades #1- #8"
The heart and soul of FACE atelier – an innovative approach to foundation that allows you to be in control. Ultra Foundation is a silicone-based emulsion that floats on top of the skin, doesn’t crease or flake, and lasts all day long. Hydrating yet oil-free, it obscures tiny lines and pores to ensure a smooth finish. No primer needed! It's built into Ultra Foundation, thanks to thesuper sophisticated, silicone-based formula. Another bonus - it sets without powder, preserving the youthful, dewy finish.Got those “I can never find my shade” foundation blues? Only FACE atelier allows you to nfinitely adjust your foundation shade. Add a drop of Zero Plus or revolutionary Zero Plus Plus to go a shade darker, or a splash of Zero Minus tolighten. Superstar Heat adds warmth, transforming shades before your very eyes.
TRADE SECRET!
The silicone molecule is bigger than the human pore, allowing Ultra Foundation to form a lightweight, breathable second skin that is both moisture and oil resistant. It is truly
non-comedogenic and is ideal for troubled or mature skin.
Ultra Foundation's top-secret
formulation creates an optical blurring effect that diminishes fine lines and
wrinkles and gives the illusion of a smoother, more uniform and naturally dewy
finish. No wonder it's the foundation of choice for stars like Fergie and Lady
Gaga!
PRO TIPS
· shake well before using (silicone is lighter than pigment) and apply with #4 foundation brush to ensure smooth and hygienic pplication. Use sparingly on moisturized skin as a little goes a long way!
· Why no SPF? It's no secret to pro makeup artists that products
with SPF flash white. Ultra Foundation is THE product of choice if you're
anywhere near a camera. More importantly, there's a long list of reasons why
SPF doesn't work in cosmetics (see Trade Secrets). We urge you to find a good
sunscreen and use as directed.
· all the foundations have yellow undertones, except for the darker women of color shades. If a lighter shade appears pink, it means that it’s the wrong shade.
· use innovative Heat to warm up foundations. And it sizzles as the perfect liquid blush for darker skins.
· mix with your face cream to a custom tinted moisturizer.
· use Zero Minus before applying foundation to highlight and contour
