Licari discovered E.L.F. Gel Eyeliner while on her way to a bride's house. She realized that she was out of gel eyeliner and panicked! "I pulled over and ran into the drug store and grabbed the first one I saw," she says. Luckily, it was an awesome discovery. "I love it because it has a smooth application with a bold matte finish and, if the eyelid is primed well, then it does not move. I went back and bought it in every color they have."
"I always keep lashes in my kit and consistently experiment with different kinds. These are individuals, but they're bundled like mini strips, which saves time and makes them easy to apply," says Shaw. "I also love to fan out the ends of the eyes and find that adding one individual to the outer portion of the lash line on each eye creates subtle cat eye vibes. They also look completely natural."
Licari was shopping at Ulta, as makeup artists do, when she caught the pretty packaging of L.A. Girl's Glazed Lip Paint near the checkout counter. "I only bought it because it was so inexpensive and thought it'd be nice to throw in my bag for when I needed a quick gloss," she says. She ended up loving the product. "It's super hydrating and my clients love a smudge of this product over their matte liquid lipsticks to add that pouty sheen at the center of their lips. It also come is 18 shades, and the tube lasts a very long time."
"I was looking online for a moisturizing lip scrub for dry lips and came across this one by ChapStick and it's now one of my favorites," says Diani. Given the fact that ChapStick specializes in lip care, it was a no-brainer to try it out. The product is formulated with safflower seed oil, maracuja (passion fruit) oil, shea butter, and vitamin E. It has a peppermint smell and taste, and sugar to exfoliate.
