Belletto Studio Review and Swatches!

Hey upsessers!

      I recently purchased a Belletto Studio Airbrush system off of Hautelook the other day for $100 plus tax. The kit that I purchases normally runs for $484 on their website www.bellettostudio.com. The set is called Beauty Basics Airbrush System and I purchased the color set Fair Skin with Pink Undertones. And I have to say it was one of the best $100 dollars I have invested on a single makeup product. The set included the compressor, the airbrush wand, four shades of foundation ranging from fair to light/medium, one blush, one eyeshadow, two primers, and a bottle of cleaner solution. I have to say so far I have tried the primer, foundation in shade F3 beignet and the cleaner solution afterwards. I have to say I was amazed at how easy I found the system to use. The instructions are very clear and to the point and it also comes with a informational DVD. The coverage was light to medium but could be built up to be a fuller coverage foundation. I applied 2 layers and resulted in a professional airbrushed look with a medium coverage and no cakey-ness. I loved the fact that you couldn't even tell I was wearing makeup and the length of wear earned the system some major bonus points. Applied the foundation around 1 pm and removed it at 10 pm and I did not have any touch ups in the mean time. For any one looking into investing in an airbrush system and wants professional quality with ease of use as a beginner this is the system for you! I have taken a bunch of pictures that I have included below to help you get a better idea of the system! Enjoy and let me know if you have a Belletto System as well, or any other airbrush system and how do you like it?! xox Ali

Hello Upsessers!

Welcome Upsessers!
               This is my first blog post introducing my new channel! I have been watching makeup gurus on Youtube for several years now and I finally got up the courage to start my own channel. With this channel my hope is not to gain youtube stardom or make enough money to retire, it's to share my passion for makeup, learn from other gurus and make a few friends along the way! I my plan is to take requests for looks, tutorials, question and answers, hauls, reviews and etc. A little about my self, I currently work at Sephora, which an upsessers dream to say the least, I am 22 years old, I currently go to college for nursing but already hold a degree in radiologic technology. Although I never was professionally trained as a makeup artist I feel my time as an avid beauty guru follower and working at Sephora has only fueled my passion for the art of makeup. I you please take the time to check out my channel on Youtube, subscribe to my Instagram or follow me on Facebook. My goal is to due you, my viewers, proud! I am open to any suggestions, comments or feed back about any of projects! Thanks so much! So get upsessed and stay upsessed!
