"I just want someone to do it all for me."
This is something we hear at Studio Bella all the time. People will comment on one of the stylist's makeup, and say "I just wish someone would pick out everything for me and tell me what colors to wear."
Makeup is a very personal thing, in my opinion. I've been fascinated with it's ability to transform, disguise, and even just to lift a mood. I also don't subscribe to brand loyalty when it comes to makeup. There are just way too many choices and when it comes down to it, way too many fabulous products. I could never say that I only use one brand of makeup for everything.
That being said, when I opened Studio Bella I needed a brand that was really comprehensive when it comes to meeting my needs - and I can pretty demanding. I needed a brand that would appeal to everyone, whether they wear a full face of makeup everyday or they just want a little tinted moisturizer. They also had to be easy to use. Not everyone knows how - or even wants to know how - to use a set of makeup brushes. Next up was color, and lots of it. I like a full spectrum of colors offered in a makeup brand, from bold to natural, shimmer to matte, and everything in between. In addition to all of that, it had to be a brand that I trusted, and that stood for something other than money guzzling. I want them to care about what condition my skin is in when I wash the makeup OFF. Lastly, they have to be a brand that my clients don't have to take out a mortgage to stock up on. I'm not sure what the fascination is with paying $100-$500 for cremes and foundations, but that fascination is alive and well, especially in the label-conscious society we are in.
Enter Jane Iredale - the skincare makeup. No preservatives! High quality minerals because they actually care about what we are breathing when applying the powders! No petroleum! Yet, they can accomplish all of this while providing a color palette with amazing, vivid pigments and makeup that has true staying power.
