Eternity is one of art projects with Sia Aryai.  It has been 5years since Eternity

project started.  

First, I tried  Temptu Air Blush Silicone Base "White" only to paint a
model's face.

But it took a white to neutralize the fresh skin tone with Air Brush.

I ended up giving more than 6 layers ( Temptu foundation White does not

have good coverage as Mac Air Brush White.) and this made the studio
really foggy.

Then I  swiched  to Mac Air Brush White from Temptu Airbrush white.

MAC had more coverage than Temptu but it still needed 2-3 layears
and it was little bit hard for touch ups.

Later,  I started using Cream Foundation as a base before Air Brush application.

It worked very well.  Cream foundations has heavier  coverage than Air Brush.
However, Cream Foundations make the skin texture little bit bold.

So to give nice smooth finishing on the skin, I apply one right coat of Air Brush Foundation

after I tap the cream foundation surface with big round sponge which is used by
Japanese real Geisha Girls in Kyoto.

I usually purchase this special big round sponge at Shiseido Beauty Store at
Little Tokyo in downtown LA.

RCMA Foundation

There are 4-5 my favorites foundations to carry in my kit.

RCMA is one of the favorites.

Especially RCMA Vincent Kehoe 18 Color Foundation Palette
has been my life saver for many many times.

There are 2 types of Palette.

KO Palette

has 18 colors of warm tone.

Shinto Palette

has 18 colors of yellow base

cold tone.  This is good pallete

for my skin.


When I purchased them,

it was about $75 each

These are highly pigmented, fragrance-free cream foundations.

If this is too rich for someone, I mix RCMA with some moisturizer

to thin it.

In my case, I use straight RCMA foundation on me during winter

or when the weather is dried.

 Shinto Palette

 KO Palette

Since my room light

carries lots of yellow tone,

the picture does not show

the actual color of

KO Palette.

Since RCMA is very creamy foundation, when it is hot, sweaty summer, I mix RCMA with 

Silicone based foundation such as Make Up For Ever High Definition Foundation.

 

 This foundation can be

diluted with silicone base

thinner, and applied by 

air brush as well.

I also love

silicone based foundation

from Face Atelier

( they are Canada based

cosmetic company)

RCMA can be mixed with most of silicone based foundation very well
and works well.

I just found out today that RCMA has RCMA Thinner !

I will get this

next time when I 

visit Nigels or Frends.

I like to see the difference
between this thinner
and mixing with moisturizer.

Make Up For Ever Vivid Fuchsia!

When I was working on set, my friend makeup artist showed me his

favorite makeups of this spring and tried on my eyes.

Make Up For Ever

Aqua Cream

This is water proof 

cream makeup.

This really lasts long time.

No smudges!!

It has small goldish

crushed glitters in.

I loved it!!  I really really love it!

Usually, most of cream color like this, even it says water proof,

the color does not last on my nice Asian oily skin.

It smears here and there time goes by.

You may see

tiny shining

flakes.

These are the 

crushed goldish

glitters.

This product from Make Up Forever stayed on my eye lids all day long,

it didn't move how much I got sweat and kept running all over the set.

I was really impressed and few days after the shoot, I ran to

Nigel ( beauty supply store in North Hollywood) 

and purchased the exact same thing.

By the way, if you are makeup artist, you can get 40% discount from

Make Up For Ever products at Nigel.
