Paintbox Cosmetics's Palette's!



As you may of noticed by my previous posts I love Paintbox Cosmetics!
And if you have paid attention to those previous posts, this range is only available to professional make-up artists. :( Big sad face! Sorry guys!
 
 
But anyways...
I got a couple palette's as you can probably tell by the pictures about. Blush (left) Eyeshadow (right)! Before I go into each palette I will let you know that the exterior of the palette's are of a leather-type origin. I'm not sure if it is genuine or faux! But it still cleans well! Better than a plastic matte or shiny or shimmer finish!
 
 
So lets start with the eyeshadow palette!
I adore this palette! Although the colours are limited, it is a great neautral palette that works for both day and night looks! :) And this palette comes with Shimmers and Matte's which is such a great idea for artists. The colours are highly pigmented, and work very well! Most colours are easily blend-able, but a few (mainly Black) that are great colours but take a lot of time an effort to blend. Not the best, but it is simply fixed by just patting the colour on with your finger.
 
 
 
 
Secondly this is the blush palette.
This is my second favourite product that I have ever brought from Paint Box Cosmetics!
This palette has two creme blushes and four powder (left four).
The colour sit well in the face and a super pigmented. So use a little for a light coverage, or a lot for a super heavy look! So great for burlesque looks!
The creme blushes have a night highlighted nature to them, and making the skin look radiant and youthful. The top left one is such a beautiful blush, a nice marbled pink and shimmer blush!
 
Overall these are the best palette that I have gotten my hands on!
So I hope this review helps all you Professionals looking for a new brand to discover for your Professional kits! :D


Professional Paintbox Liquid Pro-Mix xx

 
This is absolutely the most favourite product that I have in my kit!
And a must-have for any professional kit!!!
Love it!

Colour

The Liquid Pro-Mix is clear in colour! Which is it's soul purpose of course! This product needs to be clear so that it can set any shadow as a bright colourful eyeliner!

Why I love it!

I love this product because it makes eyeliner colours more accessible and less eyeliner pots in your professional kit! The eyeliner colours are endless, from golds and silvers, to fluro's and nuterals! Such a great product, so you can basically have any colour you love as an eyeliner!
I love this product!

Availability

These products aren't available to just anyone.
They are only sold to professionals through other professionals.
So sorry to anyone that I have got their hopes up to!

Tip

Always test the colour with the shadow and Pro-Mix on the back of the hand, as colours may not come out the same as they are in the eyeshadow pan! And put your powder on and then run over the colour with the Pro-Mix on the brush :) You may need a palette for the product!
 
 
Now you know why I love it!
Swatches will be coming soon! :D

Paintbox Eyeliner! :D

 
I have used Paintbox for a little while now (roughly a year) as part of my professional kit!
And well, I sneak in a few uses every now and then ;) Just because I love the brand!
 

Colour

So in this post I will be sharing the Paintbox Eyeliners in Paragon (bottom) and Onyx (top).
Onyx is a very standard Matte colour, and Onyx is a shimmery grey/black!
These colours are perfect for any lining of the eye and Dark Smokey eye!
 

Why I love it!

The reason why I love these are because they are a VERY soft pencil.
They apply well with only one streak over the lid, so you don't have to go over the area a million times to get the intense colour you want! I find that great as if you are running back and fourth continuously you are more likely to gain a BIG streak!
 

Availability

These products aren't available to just anyone.
They are only sold to professionals through other professionals.
So sorry to anyone that I have got their hopes up to!
 

Tip

To any professional that may be reading this, I must warn you that this is an extremely soft pencil.
So my tip to you in to put these eyeliners into a zip-lock bag over night or for half hour before travel as it will help to firm the pencil before you sharpen before use on a client. If you don't do this it will crumble everytime you sharpen. I store all my liners in the fridge anyways :)

Kett Cosmetics xx


 
So I finally got my new kit for Tafe, and one of the brands in our kits was Kett Cosmetics.
This brand is a very versitile brand for aspiring artists and professionals.
The brand is typically aimed at Airbrush, but the bit that makes it very versatile is that the Foundations etc. can be used for both Airbrush, Brushed and Disposables.

So lets begin!

Foundations
 
Firstly lets start with the foundations!
The foundations are amazing. They work with both airbrush and make-up brush so it's highly ideal for the make-up artist who airbrushes and also uses make-up brush!
These foundations by Kett come in a large range of different tones as well.
So they are perfect for mixing or just straight from the bottle.
Also, you can mix in a bit of their Hydro Shimmers just to add a subtle glow to the skin!
 
 
 
The Hydro Shimmer pack is $80 or $16.00 each at:
 
The Foundations are $10.00 a bottle for a 7ml Sample bottle, $50.00 for a 7ml trial pack (5x sample bottles), $30.00 per full size bottle or $300.00 for a full size pack (10x 35ml bottles) at:
 
 
Pictured about is the Kett Cosmetics Powder.
This is a translucent powder that sets the foundation to the face!
This works just the same as a pressed powder, only it wont change the colour of the base!
Meaning that if you have perfectly matched the Foundation, then it wont mess that up!
This is also great as it reduces shine on oily skin and the moisture added to the skin by a foundation. It will also draw excess oil from the skin!
This product is of a professional quality and is only $22.00 on the Kett Website:

 
Last but not least, this is the Kett Concealer Palette!
I adore this palette.
It is great for all skin colours and conceals so well.
It sets matte, and is easy to blend into the foundation!
 
Easy colour is $15.00 per refill, and the palette is $15.00 and comes empty!
 
I hope you have enjoyed this review!
