Thanks! they're ok. they're not as pigmented as MAC but as long as you use a primer they work pretty well and they are decently priced.

I have all of that mark stuff (cuz I'm a rep

). I love their eyeshadows.

thats an awesome kit! I have some Mark e/s as well, not quite as many as you though. lol. I do agree with a little primer that they stay on pretty well and the pigment is pretty good. I love the bright green e/s. Forgot what the color was called. I never use them anymore, i'll have to break em out one of these days.

Yeah I have to use UDPP with it.

Seems like your off to a great start! I wish you all the luck in your journey on becoming a makeup artist!

If you ever want some HD foundation (or just great foundation in general) try these: Graftobian Makeup Company - Products - Palettes, Wheels and Samplers - Hi Def Glamour Creme Palettes

And this is a very valuable resource for me: Professional Makeup and Cosmetic Product Reviews - IN MY KIT by Kevin James (KJ) Bennett Emmy Award Winning New York City Makeup Artist - Film, Video, Photography

As is this site: ModelMayhem.com - Hair, Makeup & Styling

Good Luck!

Thanks YSLGuy! and thanks Leven those sites are great! Do you use the graftobian foundations yourself? How long do they last? im not too familiar with cream foundation... i'm just afraid that they'll give a cakey look lol.

I have only one of the graftobian palettetes (Neutral 1) and let me tell you, im saving up for three more as well as the corrector palette. They are like silk, and very pigmented. I usually apply with a regular makeup sponge you can get at the drugstore, and then powder over it. It lasts for a long time, as far as im concerned.

And about it looking cakey, the key is to know how much to use. Start out with a little and work your way up to the coverage you need. You dont want to apply any more than you need to, thats when makeup starts to look cakey. You could even mix the cream with foundation thinner or a light moisturizer to make it sheerer. the great thing about cream foundauion is that its versatile. The graftobian foundation can go all the way from full coverage, to a very very light tinted moisturizer.

I hope this little rant was of some help to you lol
