Colorescience Review - Great makeup, but not a good idea for brides!

(New York, NY)

As a makeup artist with over 15 years working in about every medium in the business, I have a prettty good grasp on makeup and what's good, and what works.

I called ColorScience, because I have a bride whose getting married in Septmeber with super-sensitive skin. I, persay, have never had a problem with clients breaking out in a rash from a makeup application, but I wanted to play it safe.

I indicated to colorscience that I am a New York City makeup artist and immediately I was shipped samples of their primers and several shades of the makeup (loose mineral makeup).

I tried it on myself and applied the primer first. The primers are amazing, made my skin look airbrushed. The foundaton went on beautifully, but then I noticed, that where ever the light hit my face the makup was reflecting the light. So I decided to photograph myself...not attractive at all; my face had shiny spots on my forehead, cheeks and nose. The foundation contains Mica, so that can be problematic if your are getting married and the photographer of course often more then not will be using flash. Another tip, it is important not to wear any foundation with an SPF...it will cast a grayish tone and the face will reflect white.

I felt compelled to give this information, because its important to be informed. I did reach out to Colorscience and relayed the aforesaid.
