Eve Pearl Review/Tutorial: Flawless Face Pallete - Cream

Overview: I recently had the opportunity to hear Eve Pearl speak and after hearing about her personal journey in the makeup industry and a little about her cosmetics, I was eager to try out a few of her most popular products. Some of you may never heard of her, but I can almost guarantee that you have seen some of her work. She was Meredith Vieira's makeup artist on the Today  show and was also a makeup artist for The View. She has won several Emmy Awards for her work and is the author of Plastic Surgery Without the Surgery: The Miracle of Makeup Techniques. Her cosmetics are wonderful and so is her philosophy about makeup and makeup artistry. The products that I have had the pleasure of trying are absolutely wonderful but there are some pretty significant drawbacks. However, in this blog post I will solely be reviewing her cream "Flawless Face Palette". Below I will have a video review and tutorial, pictures of the product, a list of the pros and cons, and pictures of the products and brushes that I use in addition to this palette in order to achieve a flawless face.

The Ugly: 
-EXPENSIVE (this palette contains 0.8 ounces of product and retails for $98)
-very little product

Best Uses:
-There is no denying that this product is expensive, especially for how little you get. I was lucky enough to purchase this at IMATS for $58. Now don't get me wrong, I am willing to spend the money on great products that I really love; however, I like to get a lot of use out of them. I have used this product about four times and have already hit pan on the (light) foundation which is insane! This will clearly not be an everyday foundation for most women BUT for special events, such as your wedding day, this would be beautiful. There is no SPF in these products so your skin will look just as beautiful in photos as in person. Also, if you are someone who travels frequently, than this product will save you a ton of room in your luggage. As I mentioned earlier, no brushes are needed so all you need in addition to this very small palette, are your eye products.

Products I Use With This Palette:  

 M.A.C Strobe Cream: I use this in place of a primer. I love the look of luminous skin, so I apply a thin layer of this all over my face.

Sephora Professionnel Foundation Brush (#47): As I mentioned earlier, you definitely don't need to uses brushes to achieve a beautiful finish from this makeup. However, whenever I get the chance to use some brushes that I've been neglecting (especially expensive ones), I jump at the chance. I use this brush to apply my foundation and concealer.  









Sephora Professionnel Stippling Brush (#44): I've been using this to help blend out the blush...and pretty much for the same reason that I use the foundation brush. I use this brush to apply and blend my blush.













e.l.f. Powder Brush: The best brush for buffing in foundation (AND the cheapest!) I use this brush to buff the foundation into my skin.
