2016 Beauty Trends: Cinema Secrets

My newest makeup obsession in 2016..... Cinema Secrets!  As I walked into Cinema Secrets Beauty Supply located in the heart of Burbank (Los Angeles), California I was quickly greeted by all of the makeup artist rocking their flawless on trend looks.  I met with Danny Stein the Co-Owner of Cinema  Secrets and got a tour of the retail location before I set down with their makeup artist Dana Lauren for a one-on-one lesson all about their products.   

I'm one of the pickiest when it comes to foundation, tinted moisturizers, concealers, and any sort of primer or sealer.  I found that whats so unique and wonderful about Cinema Secrets is that it caters to professional makeup artist to stay at home moms.  

You can build the foundation using the moisture spray. Blend the color palette to contour your face.  Also, using different colors to cover bruising or bags underneath the eyes create flawless and easy to use concealer and foundation.  You can purchase Cinema Secrets single Ultra Foundation or the Pro 5 in 1 pallet depending on your needs.  

"The creamy formula applies like a second skin yet provides full coverage to diminish skin discolorations, birthmarks, burn scars, even large body tattoos! All Ultimate Foundations are free of mineral oil, lanolin, and petroleum products. High pigmentation is the key to coverage, and durable high-quality ingredients make this cosmetic last up to 12 hours, even in humid climates (it's completely waterproof!). Soft, natural matte finish spreads farther than most other foundations and will not cake or crease." www.cinemasecrets.com 

Since I work with a lot of patients after undergoing noninvasive procedures like botox, injections or lasers, this is a great safe, quality product that is waterproof, covering any type of imperfections. 

Not only am I a fan of their face products but their color palettes and brush cleaner are to die for.
