Sometimes it can be frustrating to always ask friends recommendations for a good makeup artist or Googling “makeup artist near me” whenever there is a special occasion coming up. Professional makeup artists may come with a price so next time you need to get your makeup done, you can try a more cost-effective way—shop what they use and apply it on yourself. Here is a list of freelance makeup artist favourites from Make Up For Ever.

Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer

The first secret to applying your makeup flawlessly and beautifully is found at the beginning. Your primer. If you do not apply primer, your makeup will not glide as smoothly and it will most likely not last long. Step 1 Skin Equalizer is ground breaking because it was one of the first primers to correct almost every skincare need: mattifying, redness, nourishing, dullness, sallow skin. You can even use it only in specific areas that need correcting, like Redness Correcting on your cheeks and Mattifying on your T-zone.

Aqua XL Ink Liner

This eyeliner does not know how to quit. It is waterproof and will withstand anything—oily lids, sweat, long days, and yes, even swimming. This eyeliner was tested on the synchronised swimming team of France. If it works on them, it will work on anyone! We love that it comes in a great array of colour. Who says you only need black eyeliner to stay put forever? We would love us some blue or purple!

Water Blend

Next time you want to nail that no-makeup makeup look, try this foundation on. Once you pump it out of the bottle, you will already immediately feel the difference. It is more watery than creamy, true to its name. It blends into skin easily and it will not run like water does. Make Up For Ever Water Blend foundation is also a great pick for the dewy look. Skip powdering your cheeks if you are not that oily to really get that fresh look.

HD Sculptor

When you want a foundation that will look great on screens like if you wanted to do your own makeup for your wedding or any other special occasion, this is the one to get. Beauty bloggers love this because it is flawless and creamy but it does not feel heavy on the skin. You can also try this option if you want more coverage than a liquid foundation. Grab another tube about two shades darker if you want a natural looking contour.
