Is it only possible to make a professional makeup with perfect finish with expensive products?
This is a very common question among many makeup artists, maybe even a certain insecurity if with cheap products they will be able to make a perfect makeup.
When I started my career in professional makeup, I had very few products, most of them from Brazilian brands and also very affordable.
It was with these products that I started my career, conquered my clients and started to make money with makeup.
As I grew up, I invested in more expensive and better finished products.

Uniform skin
When it comes to unifying the skin, it is important to have products, even if cheap, of excellent quality, as we know that sometimes we need high coverage to make complex camouflages of melasmas, acnes or other skin problems.
