Hi Ladies and Gents...

I am putting together my makeup kit for a makeup artistry class and I wanted to know if any of ya'll have tried Face Atelier? I was thinkin about buying the MAC Pro Student Kit but I'm not sure about the Foundations. So I was thinking I would put it together from scratch using different brands. This is my list so far:

Foundation: Face Atelier Ultra Pro
Blush: La Femme or MAC or Nixie?
Eyeshadows: La Femme or MAC or Nixie?
Concealors: MUFE 0r MAC?
Eyeliners: ?
Lipliners: ?
Lipsticks: ?

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

i love face atelier.. their eyeshadows are very nice too so you might want to consider getting those too. for blushes, i have a 12 palette from la femme, super cheap & they have a lot of basic colors you'll need. nixie has good cream blushes and i have heard the cream foundations are good. they come in palettes so that will save space in your kit.
just mix & match & have fun!

MUFE & Nixie refill pans are the same size so you can mix & match in a palette. They are bigger than MAC eyeshadow pans and Nixie's cost $12.50 so more bang for your buck. MUFE & Nixie eyeshadows are great quality-wise. Like Mistella says, FA foundation all the way. Also try Yaby Pearl Paints (awesome when used wet) the website address is: www.yaby.com and they sell a free form palette where you can put in any shape of pan in them.
Check out the modelmayhem.com website for models, photographers & MUAs. There are numerous threads discussing all three lines and recommend them highly.

Face atelier is amazing, I just got some today, mixed a drop with some revlon skinlights and put it on. It was beautiful and doesn't need primer since its silicon based and has an in-built primer. FA doesn't come in really dark colours so if you have the cash, you can get some MUFE face and body for darker shades (I think). I have an MUFE concealer palette in 5, also have a Temptu palette, both are nice, have never tried MAC concealer, so can't tell you much (sorry).
For eyeliners, Revlon colorstay, Rimmel and FA powder eyeliners, lipliners wet and wild esp in "666" and "712" and I have Revlon lipsticks and they are great. I have the La femme 12 blush palette and Nixie cream blushes, they're really nice.

I ended up getting the FA Foundation which comes with 10 shades and a + and - which you can use to lighten or darken a shade. I love it!!! It looks so flawless and has great coverage. I got the FA Lipgloss and powder too. I also got the La Femme Blush palette which is super pigmented, a couple palettes of Nixie eyeshadows, blush, and bronzers. I also got a 15 e/s palette of Mac, Ben Nye concealer palette, Ben Nye Lipstick palette, and Ben Nye lip pencils. Revlon colorstay eyeliners and NYX brow pencils, ELF clear eyebrow gel, Maybelline FullnSoft mascara.

The class I'm taking is so much fun! It's at Mt. Sac in Walnut,CA. The teacher is so amazing and knowledgeable. I believe it's 6 sessions about 3 hrs each and we learn something different each class. We just did one on cuts and bruises and let me tell ya...it's harder than I thought! Mt. Sac also offers a stage/theater makeup or special fx class for college credit so I am thinkin about taking that one too..

There's also a Kryolan class coming up soon in San Diego that I also wanna take...

^^^ Do you have a website or info for the kryolan class? I'm in s.d. and its been hard to find good classes down here that aren't in L.A. But a kryolan class here would be rad!

I absolutely love Face Atelier foundations. I use them on just about all my clients. I use mostly the even colors, 2, 4, and 6 all the time!! They go on so smoothly, give great coverage, look really natural, photograph beautifully and last all day!

The even numbers are more yellow and the odd numbers are more pink. I find that the even numbers don't really have a lot of pink in them at all.
