Make Up For Ever Flash Palette/ 12 Flash Color Case

When I was in Beauty School, my teacher Orlando Santiago told me if there's one thing I need in my kit, it is the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette.  Since then, I have heard this from many different amazing makeup artists.

12 Flash Color Case ($216 Value)

It's a small case, but the formula is HIGHLY PIGMENTED so you only needed the littlest amount and it will last you forever.

With this one kit, you have everything you need to create foundations, eye shadows, blush, lipstick, and much more.
In order to create foundations, you need to have a certain understanding of color theory.

For those of you that don't know how to use this kit, here are a few ways I use the Flash Color Palette.

* Peach:  I use the SLIGHTEST bit on under-eye circles that have a purple cast before using foundation/concealer.  Click HERE to read my Korean Beacon article on under-eye circles.
* Green:  This can be used to tone down extreme redness.  Use sparingly and to cover small areas of redness.  I don't always use this, but will put on blemishes and the sides of the nose at times.
* Gold/ Silver: I like to use these to add some pop.  I usually use a little bit on the inner corner of the eyes, in the middle of the bottom lash, or in the center of the lip (but not all at one time!)
* Black: Can be used as a cream eyeliner.  You might want to set with a black eyeshadow/ powder
* Brown: Can be used to contour yourself a smaller nose and higher cheekbones
* Pink/Peach/Red:  You can use the slightest amount of any of these colors (or mix together) to get a slight wash of color on the cheeks.  Make sure to blend well!


So if I were to be in a situation where I could only bring one piece of makeup... this would probably be it.
But let's hope I'm never in that situation. I love my stuff.  ;)
