Pride Makeup Tips

Pride is essentially one of the most colorful times of the year  - in most major cities - Especially Toronto who is hosting World Pride 2014.

If you want colorful, waterproof, all day makeup - my personal favorite product is:


Make Up For Ever - Aqua Cream

 They also have a brilliant selection of blush/lip colors.

Kits, Palettes and Cleaning Makeup

 I spent  good chunk of time cleaning my makeup station,  de-potting makeup palettes, re organizing, gluing magnets into my MAC palettes,  and re-arranging my train cases.









I have multiple train cases, and each has a different purpose.

So What is IMATS

Retail Makeup Experience?

I have to reflect on a previous post I made about makeup enthusiasts vs makeup artists.

Does working in a drugstore/make up boutique make you a makeup artist?

Its a good question to ask  - and the answer is NO.

Retail makeup is a great place to be if you are good at sales, and have product knowledge.  I've met a lot of terrible "artists" who work at retail makeup counters, drug store makeup counters etc. - but have jobs because they are good at selling.

Retail makeup experience is great because its practical and relevant. The most essential part about retail makeup is  efficiency. You may only have 7-15 minutes to do someones face because the client has other places to go, or your manager may scream at you for taking a long time in your application.

Of course
