Bullets for the Better


ELLIS FAAS

This is such an innovative brand.
 "All products are fluids, not only so they all fit in same sized “bullets”, but also because an enormous part of the human body consists of water. Therefore liquid makeup tends to blend into the skin more easily than solid makeup: the products will melt into the skin instead of lie on it." 

This product goes on smoothly, the colors are very vivid and doesn't take a lot of product to get a good application. This would save quite a bit of space in any artists kit. I love the design...its very unique! However, i am big on using cosmetic wedges when applying foundation...i just feel it gives a better application and if using this item in your professional kit you really need to pay attention to your sanitary methods. Overall...i really like this brand!!
