~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

Blending is very important. With using wet or dry products for everyday or editorial application. Brushes can be very expensive for all to use. But using sponges work just as well for professional and everyday usage.

ELF has some wonderful cosmetic products and application tools. This is the Camo Concealer Sponge. The perfect sponge to complement the 16HR Camo Concealer. This sponge was specifically designed to perform best with this concealer. Made with soft, latex free foam and dual-pointed ends, this sponge easily fit into the hard-to-reach areas of the face, allowing for a flawless application.

Excellent product to use with wet or dry concealers or even just for dry application of blush or foundations. This sponge is an exceptionally soft sponge that blends well without picking up product! Camo Concealer Sponge makes everything blend so soft and seamlessly. Surprisingly with this little sponge is a lot more dense and not as frail as I thought it would be . Blends well and lasts pretty long even with frequent washes. Always use soap and water to clean. I prefer Dawn Soap. Also excellent for cleaning brush’s. I recommend this product for professional use. This sponge is an exceptionally soft sponge that blends well without picking up product!

Woke Up Like This Foundation

A week ago I did a photo-shoot and hair/makeup for Fashion-nova.com. My model was black and she had lovely skin tone. So there no need to apply a lot of makeup, only to certain areas of her skin. The makeup line I used was for the Photo-shoot was IL MAKIAGE.

This is a powerful, streak-free foundation that smooths and evens the skin with an advanced, innovative formula for a flawless, uniform natural matte finish. It is liquid and wet to apply so you only use it in small quantity.

Upon completion of the application I recommend to let it dry and of course add a translucent powder to lock in. The makeup held well and did not move around. And it was true to tone. BUT use it sparingly during your application of this makeup line.

Woke Up Like This Foundation smooths and evens the look of skin with an advanced, innovative formula that instantly minimizes the appearance of shadows and pores, effortlessly enhances the complexion, and generates a flawless, natural-matte finish. Give it a try.

The brush I used to apply the makeup with was a M.A.C 190S Foundation Brush. Which is A pro-quality foundation brush designed to create a smooth, even finish and a flawless look. I love this brush for my applications. Especially on smooth skin. And I also set the makeup with Studio Fix Pro Set. A ultra-refined loose powder with ultra-clear powder particles that sets makeup, controls shine and instantly absorbs oil with a dimensional matte finish.
