Hello Brides!
The one question I have probably received more than any other is "Where can I find an affordable line of professional makeup?" That question was so very hard to answer because I had never found just one line that satisfied all the needs of a makeup artist, much less a bride! Finally, there is one.
Liz Yu is the creator behind the brand Yaby Cosmetics (
www.yabycosmetics.com). Being a makeup artist herself (who also works extensively with brides) Liz decided to formulate her own brand of makeup that would not only fill the needs of makeup artists, but be affordable for anyone to put together their own personal makeup kit. Liz's products range from $2.50 for shadow (yes, you read correctly. That's $2.50!) to $10.00 for powder foundation. The best part is that you can purchase her small, compact, white freestyle palettes and create your own "face" kit by arranging your foundation, powder, blush, eyeshadows, lipstick and glosses all in one handy palette. Because the palettes are so small, you can fill one up of makeup that you will be using on your wedding day and carry it with you so you can be prepared for any type of touch up.
Below are my favorite products from Yaby:
1) Eyeshadow
Super pigmented and they go on so smoothly. They range from matte to hi-shine formualtions to fit any look.
2) Pearl Paints
Think creamy, shimmery, ethereal cream shadows in vibrant color...but in a powder eyeshadow form. I use these for fashion and beauty shoots and the color stays true under hot studio lights and long hours. They are waterproof too!
3) Cream Foundation
These foundations will cover up an blemish you will have, and then some. Not only do these foundations cover, but they look very natural. You can also thin them down with moisturizer if you prefer a lighter coverage.
4) Setting Powder
What did I do before Liz created this? A completely colorless powder will set your foundation, ensuring a smooth and matte finish. Use sparingly with a brush.
You can order directly from
www.yabycosmetics.com and you can send any questions at all to
info@yabycosmetics.com. If anyone else has used this brand and has reviews/comments, please add them to the thread! We would love to hear it!
Finally a brand of professional and affordable cosmetics
