Stila Cosmetics HD Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer
High Definition makeup has become the new trend in the beauty industry with makeup lovers. Not sure if many woman really understand why they are buying it but they know along with BB cream they must have it. Last month Stila cosmetics came out with 16 shades of HD foundation and I must say, it’s EVERYTHING! They did very well with producing shades that will work on all skin tones. I have been using it on assignments and my talent skin always look flawless on television. I actually like the look better than airbrush makeup. So many reasons why I’m a fan of this product, one being that it comes with a full coverage concealer that is inside of the cap. No more guessing what shade of concealer to purchase and carrying extra products. The concealer cover dark circles and blemishes very well. Both the foundation and concealer has a creamy texture that is oil free and gives a flawless full coverage finish that last all day. Even though it comes with a mini foundation brush, I like using my fingers and a damp beauty blender for a natural finish. 

I do like that it looks amazing on someone who doesn’t wear much makeup if applied very light and with Stila Beauty Balm. If your a makeup junkie and/or makeup artist check out Stila HD Foundation and Concealer. It’s definitely worth having in your makeup case.

Quick Tip To Cleaning My Airbrush Machine

I always get asked how do I clean my airbrush after I finish using it. I have a Ninja Jet Iwata Air Compressor that I use mostly for brides. The way I clean my airbrush is filling the cup all the way up with windex. I spray the windex completely out of the cup follow with regular tap water to flush out the gun. 
I use Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Skin airbrush foundation, it’s oil free and water based so it does not clog my gun. OCC foundation is very sheer in texture still giving the HD coverag. Every airbrush is different so read directions before trying windex on your gun, But if you have the same brand as mine then windex and water should work just fine and it’s easier on the wallet. Hope this little tip helps.
