Kryolan Professional Make-Up  

The Secret Weapon of Hollywood’s Most Perfect Faces
By Steph Moore

OK, now I’m not a big make-up wearer, and admittedly I’m not up on all the latest tricks of the trade, but I have always wondered how the Hollywood stars (yes, both male and female) manage to keep their extremely made-up faces looking fresh when there’s no apparent assistant dabbing at it and reapplying.

Then I heard a snippet on E! Entertainment Television that piqued my curiosity. Apparently, Hollywood has a secret weapon and it’s called Kryolan Professional Makeup. And as luck would have it, my Editor had just received a sample of a couple of the company’s flagship products, so I got a chance to try them out. The result? I will now wear make-up as often as possible.

So what converted me? First, I applied the Perfect Matt, which goes on clean skin. It’s transparent and has a neat gel-feel to it. Then because I was going out at night, I added Shimmering Event Foundation to my face. That’s kind of a mousse-y concealer that gave my face the radiant, shimmery effect that so many stars have under the bright lights. Sparkly and subtle. Now here comes the coolest part ~ to set my face and keep all the product in place and looking freshly applied, I lightly applied on the Fixing Spray. And I kid you not, seven hours later my makeup hadn’t budged. Best of all, none of Kryolan’s products, not a single one, is tested on animals.

Now why does Kryolan know so much about make-up needs? You’ll have to go to their website, www.kryolan.com for the full story, but to sum it up, this German-based company has been serving professional make-up artists, theatre and film actors, and clients with special skin needs for more than 50 years. Their extensive research on make-up ingredients, applications, pigmentations, and interaction with light (both natural and camera-generated) has positioned Kryolan at the forefront of the make-up industry in Asia and Europe, and their 14,000 items (ranging from lipsticks to scar coverage to modeling foundation to special effects) are gaining popularity here in the States. Not satisfied resting on their laurels, the scientists behind the make-up continue to develop products at the Berlin headquarters.

Like I said, definitely head to the website to read up on all the amazing products and the history behind them. The site is incredibly extensive and informative, and you’ll be able to locate a Kryolan distributor near you.

The secret is out! Try these products, you’ll love them!
