I‘ve been working with these brand for about 18 years now. As a professional make-up artist I can’t work without „Ben Nye“ in my bag. Especially the concealer wheel and the new wheel for contouring are awesome. One of my favorite colour for blush and eyeshadow is the „Lumiere Grande Colour LU 18 - golden apricot“. I highly recommend all of the the cake eyeliner. Also so many of the special effects stuff is great. Years ago I had the chance to meet Mr. Nye during his visit in Germany. Such a good and informative talk about the producs.
