UD is discontinuing the cream shadows, sadly. They are all marked RIP now, and I've heard from good sources that they are going away. It's sad really, today's been a day of nothing but sad news of favorite products going away. These really are great cream shadows. I've got a number of them in...

Sometimes I wonder why I bother doing bridal work. It's not a huge percentage of my work, and it's always such a pain. I guess I'm just tired of women wanting miracles that makeup can't do, or wanting a professional for pennies. I'm sorry, I'm not able to do your demo, wedding day makeup, stick...

I'm in need of an airbrushable alcohol based product for contouring the muscular structure of an actor for an upcoming production. I've not been happy with the color range or performance of Temptu's Dura in my work with it so far. I'm in need of a highlight and contour shade, nothing fancy. I'm...
