And as Azzi points out, the perfect canvas starts with the right primer. Lucky for us, she gave us three different options to consider — depending on skin type and budget!\nBudget-Friendly:<\/h3>\ne.l.f. Cosmetics Mineral Primer<\/a>\nAccording to Azzi, its lightweight, gel-like formula makes this the ideal primer for oily or combination skin. It works to minimize pores AND creates a flawless base.\nHigh-End Splurge:<\/h3>\nEve Pearl Priming Treatment<\/a>\nAzzi swears by this priming treatment. Azzi raves about its rich, creamy consistency that goes on like a moisturizer and leaves a refreshing, cooling effect. This product pairs well with high-coverage foundations and is perfect for brides looking for an extra luminous finish or for mature skin that needs a little more TLC.\n\nCharlotte Tilbury Magic Cream<\/a>\n\nMost of us know Charlotte Tilbury as one of the beauty geniuses behind Kim Kardashian\u2019s gorgeous glow. Great for fine lines and dry skin, Tilbury\u2019s primer is rich, creamy, and a dream to apply. Its delicate fragrance and moisturizing properties make it ideal for high-end editorial looks.\n\ntarte cosmetics Clean Slate Primer<\/a>\nLast but certainly not least, this primer by tarte cosmetics packs the powerhouse benefits of natural ingredients, which work to minimize pores while taking away unsightly shine. It\u2019s great for clients who need some extra mattifying action.\n<\/span>#2 Illuminator<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\nA healthy glow is always on-trend. And for makeup artists, creating a sexy shimmer is even easier with products designed to play off the skin\u2019s own natural radiance. Strobe and highlight your way to a gorgeous glow with these production recommendations from Azzi!\nBudget-Friendly:<\/h3>\nNude by Nature Mineral Makeup Illuminator<\/a>\n\nThis Aussie brand offers a range of mineral products designed to provide a subtle sheen. It can be mixed with foundation or primer to create an illuminating base. You can even pop some on top of cheekbones to give your clients a beautiful highlight effect.\n\nTo make highlighting pop under the glare of production lights, intensify it with a more concentrated, pure pigment. Azzi uses Selfieglo in Champagne, a highlighter from her brand Williamspro Makeup, to create additional impact.\n\nExpert tip:<\/b> Diffuse and wake up tired skin by layering your highlighting products. Focus on the brow area and cupids bows for some strategic glow.\n<\/span>#3 Cream Shadows<\/span><\/h2>\nUnderrated and easy to work with, cream shadows are the perfect option for makeup artists who like a versatile beauty product. According to Azzi, they can be applied over highlighter for an even more luminous glow. But don\u2019t worry\u2014her product recommendations include a cream shadow for every budget!\nBudget-friendly:<\/h3>\nMakeup Revolution Metallics in Rose Gold<\/a>\nThis UK-based brand is a hit! For a glam and glitzy look, apply it to the corner of the eyes or blend it on after applying a smoky eye. Not to mention, this cost-effective brand doesn\u2019t test on animals!\nHigh-End Splurge:<\/h3>\nCharlotte Tilbury Cream Shadow in Jean<\/a>\nWhile providing less of a glittery finish, Tilbury\u2019s luxurious shadows deliver a gorgeous, buildable, creamy sheen that will immediately give your client a fresh look. Another perfect pick for new mums and brides-to-be!\n<\/span>#4 Mineral Makeup<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\nAzzi braved the balmy Sydney heat for her AMA, and her makeup was STILL on-point. No small achievement! That\u2019s why she teaches about different makeup looks for all seasons as a tutor for QC Makeup Academy<\/a>.\n\nFor warmer climates, mineral makeup truly is a gift from the makeup gods. The secret? Nourish your client\u2019s skin with mineral makeup.\nHigh-End Splurge:<\/h3>\nJane Iredale Australia Mineral Foundation<\/a>\nOne of Azzi\u2019s top picks! Strong enough to withstand warmer conditions, yet buildable enough to photograph beautifully, this mineral makeup product is a must-have in your kit. In Azzi\u2019s words, it blends like a second skin\u2014making it a great option for male clients.\n\nWilliamspro Makeup Midas Powder<\/a>\n\nSay hello to skin that can breathe! This setting powder will leave your skin beautiful, radiant and matte\u2014but never caky! A fabulous choice for aging skin, this mineral makeup product is great for photoshoots on the beach, editorials in the sun, or destination weddings.\n\nLiving in a winter climate? Azzi recommends sticking with hydrating primers to create a long-lasting base.\n<\/span>#5 Full-Coverage Foundation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\nTraditionally, products with a green undertone are used to combat the redness of irritated skin. However, if you like to embrace the less-is-more approach, layering the correct products will allow you to conceal red spots without masking a client\u2019s skin.\n\nAzzi\u2019s product recommendation? Cinema Secrets PRO Cosmetics Foundation<\/a> will give you a breathable layer that you can follow up with a blemish healing powder. Zero Powder HD Setting Powder<\/a> (in the original formula!) from Williamspro Makeup contains essential oils that will target blemish-prone skin.\n<\/span>#6 Makeup Artist Discounts<\/span><\/h2>\nWe\u2019d like to point out that Azzi was not paid to endorse any of these beauty brands\u2026which means she does what many other makeup artists do. She buys all of the makeup products for her kit out of pocket!\n\nHowever, she shares some wisdom that will make every aspiring makeup artist sing: product discounts. As if we needed a reminder! Are you a QC Makeup Student or Graduate? Take a look at our list of preferred partners <\/a>and make the most out of your makeup artist discounts!\n<\/span>Check out QC Makeup Academy\u2019s Facebook page<\/a> to see Azzi\u2019s live AMA! \u201cLike\u201d us to keep up with makeup tips, contests and all of the latest beauty buzz!<\/span><\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Find out what every pro makeup artist needs in their makeup kit\u2014don’t get caught without these essentials products!","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":29433,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,8],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[427],"class_list":{"0":"post-17266","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-from-the-experts","8":"category-makeup-tips"},"yoast_head":"\n6 Things Every Makeup Artist Needs: AMA with Azzi Williams - QC Makeup Academy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Build up your makeup kit with advice from pro makeup artist, Azzi Williams!
