This is one of my all-time favorite products.\u00a0 <\/span>In my career as a dancer, I\u2019ve used several of these completely up. When I know that I\u2019m going to seriously sweat, say, outdoor performances in the California summer heat, I grab this wonderful product.\u00a0 <\/span>The stick format dabs on easily and you can use a sponge, brush, or even your fingers to blend this full-coverage foundation into the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n Tip: If you are keen on highlighting, and don\u2019t mind doing some on-the-spot mixing, get a white stick and create your own high-light shades! \u00a0 Find it here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n RCMA is a fantastic powder for setting makeup looks without adding any additional color.\u00a0 <\/span>This finely milled, silky smooth powder is perfect to use for setting without imparting any color.\u00a0 <\/span>It contains no pigment, no fillers, and best of all, doesn\u2019t reflect back in photography.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tip: If you are going to use the RCMA No Color Powder to bake your face, put a liberal quantity into your baking zones and let sit a minimum of 5 minutes.\u00a0 <\/span>When you go back in to brush the excess powder away, be sure to dip your brush into a bit of powder first to get the ultimate smooth finish. \u00a0Find it here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n If you need it to stick this is the product to use!\u00a0 <\/span>I have sensitive skin, and this doesn\u2019t irritate me.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s great for doing over-the-top stage makeup and I\u2019ve used it to mount individual sequins, small rhinestones, bindies, feathers, glitter (of course,) and once I used it to glue feathers onto my face. Be sure to moisturize after using, as it can leave your skin looking dry.\u00a0 <\/span>If you need to glue something to your face, well, look no further than this affordable glue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tip:\u00a0 <\/span>This is an excellent product for reviving a favorite bindi or for wear with custom bindis that don\u2019t have their own sticky surface pre-applied.\u00a0 <\/span>As a woman without pierced ears, I\u2019ve sometimes used this product to glue rhinestones onto my earlobes to simulate earrings.\u00a0 <\/span>If you must don a navel jewel, then you might want to choose this great glitter glue. \u00a0Find it here Viseart Eyeshadow<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n These eye shadows are highly pigmented and super blendable.\u00a0 <\/span>Although the rarified price of $80 per palette is out of most ordinary mortals budget, if you can swing one of these sets, it will last you for many years.\u00a0 <\/span>Ounce per ounce, this product is no more expensive than most department store brands, but the individual pans are quite large. I enjoy using the Cool Matte Palette 07as to produce some really deeply colored looks that don\u2019t crease or move even through performances. <\/span><\/p>\n Tip: In 2015, this brand took over the YouTube beauty community by storm.\u00a0 <\/span>If you find this product interesting, do a quick YouTube search for tutorials and reviews to see what other people have done with these incredible eye shadows.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>One example is beauty vlogger Emily Noel<\/a>\u00a0 – \u00a0Find it here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Your makeup will NOT move if you invest in this theatrical makeup setting spray.\u00a0 <\/span>This product is a lot more expensive than drugstore brands, but if you are prone to glowing, or dare I say, sweating, this is the product to try. Because this product is strong, I recommend that you buy the smallest size product to give it a test run to ensure it doesn\u2019t trigger any skin irritation or allergic reactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tip:\u00a0 <\/span>Back in the day, we would use hairspray to hold our makeup in place. \u00a0It would create a waterproof barrier with bullet proof hold, but hairspray is horrible for the environment and not great for the skin.
