In celebration of the 2019 Make Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards and the professional makeup artist industry of Los Angeles, pro-favorite brand Skindinavia, once again kicked off a weekend of celebration with their Skindinavia Celebrates Pro LA! event on the eve of the MUAHS. The brand has been a strong supporter of the professional makeup artist industry since founder Allen Goldman launched the brand in 2005. From every area of the industry, the brand’s iconic The Makeup Finishing Spray keeps clients looks in place for up to 16 hours in the most diverse of conditions. Attendees of this year’s event were also treated to a pro-only pre-production sample of Skindinavia’s newest product launch – The Makeup Remover Spray, which will launch later this year.

We are loving the bright hues and formula of this brand new palette from Viseart! The Coy palette features twelve brand new brightly colored prismatic shades, all housed in the new SlimPro magnetic palette. These luxurious crystalline, satin formulated shadows offer up sheer to full coverage with a watercolor finish, and includes hues from corals, golds, and purple to blue, green, lavender and silver. The formula of these twelve shadows are very similar to those found in the first column of the Grande Pro Volume 2 palette.
These shadows pairs perfectly well with the classic viseart matte shadows to help you create your client’s signature look. For a flawless sheer application use the ESUM G29 brush and for fuller coverage the ESUM W23 brush works best.

Viseart Coy Palette, $80, launched this first of the year is now available exclusively at Muse Beauty.Pro.
