I get a lot of emails concerning ARTISTRY/ARTISTRY Essentials Cosmetics especially, their foundations. I'm a huge fan of their foundations & it's the only foundations I'll use on my clients (not unless they want me to use their brand of foundations which happens sometimes). ARTISTRY/ARTISTRY Essentials offers 6 different types of foundations that range from powder, mineral, tinted moisturiser, aging/dry skin, minimal coverage, & my favorite, oil-control. Absolute Oil-Control foundation helps reduce shine & minimizes the appearance of pores and other imperfection. It's also enriched with Vitamin E & acerola cherry compand as well as SPF 15. This foundation is light weight & gives a nice matte finish which I really love. It's last throughout the day & doesn't rub off as easily as some foundations. I like to set it with either NYC Translucent Powder, MAC MSF's, or using ARTISTRY Essentials Mineral Foundations with a powder brush. ARTISTRY Absolute Oil-Control Foundations comes in 17 different shades & retails for $24. It's a small price to pay for foundation that keeps oil & shine at bay.

I never really used concealer on myself until about a few months ago. I'm getting older & need a little help when it comes to concealing under my eyes (more so because of lack of sleep!). I started using Artistry Enhancing Concealer underneath my eyes & it works wonderfully. It conceals my dark areas, minimal creasing, & it also highlights my eyes. I like to buy a shade lighter than I am for a highlighting effect. I also like to apply this concealer on the bridge of my nose to make it appear smaller. What makes this concealer even more better is that it doubles as a great eyeshadow primer. It really helps intensify the eyeshadows & helps them last all day on your lids. Artistry Enhancing Concealer is a must have!
I haven't had much time to do eyeshadow looks on myself lately. I've been doing everyone else's makeup EXCEPT mine now a days! A basic look for me is black eyeshadow used as eyeliner (cat eyed style), false eyelashes, foundation, blush, lipgloss/lipstick, & shaded eyebrows. Since I had a little time to spare, I decided to do a simple blue eyeshadow look a few days this week. I normally don't like blue's on myself, but for some reason...I love this blue look!

If you really know me, you know that I have an insane love affair with anything by Artistry Cosmetics. Artistry has to be one of the most underrated cosmetics brand out there (only because they aren't well know). It's an exclusive cosmetics & skincare brand brought to you by Amway Global. The only way you can get your hands on Artistry Cosmetics & Skincare is either by directly ordering from the company website or ordering from someone who markets Artistry (such as myself!). Such amazing quality cosmetics & skincare, it's a staple brand in my makeup kits. With all that being said, you must be wondering what I got, right?:
