Hey guys! So I know I have not been consistent on here, but it's for good reason! I've been working hard on several tv shows and productions! So happy and excited about it all. I am currently working on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Season 2 as well as Style Network's new spinoff show Big Rich Atlanta.  I previously was able to work on RHOA with Kenya Moore and you may see me in a few cameos on the show ;)

As I've been working on these productions, I've noticed in HD EVERYTHING shows up so great foundation coverage is key. Here's my take on what's worked for me on tv/film.

In My Kit:
Makeup Forever HD Foundation
Pros: I love the coverage and how it appears on camera. It doesn't oxidize much either
Cons: I feel the colors are not warm enough on darker skintones and I have to mix/adjust colors a lot

MAC Matchmaster Foundation
 Pros: I love the colors on ethnic skin, especially really dark skin. It looks vibrant and not dull! Great coverage as well
Cons: I feel like it looks oily on skin sometimes but can be combated with a matifying primer and set with powder

Black Opal Foundation Sticks
Pros: Wonderful medium to full coverage on ethnic skin. Great price point too!
Cons: Only for ethnic skin. That isn't really a bad thing, but I want them for other skin tones at the same price! lol

Other mentions I must have to accompany these products:
Laura Mercier Secret Camoflauge
Makeup Forever concealer palettes
Bobbi Brown concealer in Golden
Ben Nye Banana Powder/Mojave Luxury Collection
Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer
