Zukreat's 'Artist of Make up' range review: Part One.

Hi dolls!

Its been a while right? I have been away creating make up looks for my new Instagram @make_up_by_shezp page as well as tending to other requests of my time & energy (mainly finishing university & family commitments!) So it has been rather hectic to say the least!

Whilst I write this I am currently downloading a program which will help me make videos of my blogs! I'm not actually too sure when it will finish but I will start this edition of my blog as I am really so, so excited to share this!  

For those that know me personally, they all know I am a beauty & make up 'alohic', yes I am addicted to all aspects of beauty!  A couple of years ago or so I discovered a beautiful lady of the most ethereal beauty & she was creating a make up line called 'Artist of Make up'.  Her name was Zukreat Nazar (yes thats her lovely face!) & she is not only an amazing make up artist with bookings from all over the world but also a mother & wife!  She has worked with the Kardashians! Imagine my surprise at her also launching a make up range as well as the above!  

To fast forward the launch & the success of her range, I purchased the AOM (Artist of Make up) 'Extreme Art Liner pen' & the contour/highlight sticks in both Light (highlight) & Medium (contour).  At the time the craze called contouring was just about to take over the world!  Little did I know that Zukreat's AOM range would soon take over my life!  I will start with talking about & reviewing the products I started with & still to this day own & use:


1: Extreme Art Liner pen. Price: £18.00

• Stylishly packaged & also to look at when removed from box & easy to hold in your hand.
• This is one eye liner pen that you will never have to throw away as this liner can be refilled with special eye pen ink bought directly from the 'www.ArtistofMakeup.com' website.
• For once an eyeliner pen is worth the money you have paid for it as this beaut flows every single time & the colour pay off is amazing as this eyeliner flows black & stays black.
• This liner has a buildable colour system, meaning you can line over a previous line & it will not feel dry or look crusty.
• This liner is splash proof, sebum proof & sweat proof.   It really does last a very long time & if you ladies are not doing any strenuous activity or out in the baking sun all day then this will last all day until you remove it.
• Very easy to use even for a novice as the tip of the pen is ultra fine & creating a cat-eye is easier with this liner pen than any others I have used.
• Professional look & result every time.
• Constant flow of colour from tip is so useful when you have little time & can't stay in front of the mirror for ten minutes whilst you draw over the previous line many times so it looks black enough.  
• I don't really have anything bad to say about it apart from that it should be available more readily on our high street as I feel it would give all the mainstream pen eye liners a run for their money.

2. Highlight & Contour sticks in Light & Medium shades. Price: £18.00 each.

• Highly pigmented & creamy texture on my skin which is combination skin.
• Packaged well, in a sleek black cylinder with cream stick inside.
• Easy to blend in onto skin & creating a contour is very easy due to creamy nature of stick.
• This innovative product also comes in different shades to suit every skin tone so you can highlight & contour for any complexion.
• Staying power is phenomenal when set well & even when not set it lasts a very long time of at least 5-6 hours + for my skin.
• Very natural to touch & look at, not cakey or heavy on skin.
• Can be set slightly dewy or matte & still gives professional result.
• Compared to other high end similar products (which were designed after Zukreat's contour sticks) cheaper as well better value for money & longevity as you do not need a lot of product. I still have the same sticks that I purchased back in June 2013!
• Very few negatives to say about this product again, other than I wish these were available on the high street as I know these are such great products that most women would be able to use with great ease.

I hope you like what you read today!  I have since purchased more products from Zukreat's Artist of Make up range.  I now proudly own both  the flawless & luminous HD foundations in 35 & 34.  I also own the powder contour kit in 'Fame & Hollow'.  I've not managed to use them as much as I would have liked as I do not like to wear foundation apart from on special occasions or when my skin is feeling tired or worn out, therefore I am not going to review them today.  However from the few uses I have trialled, I can see another set of positive reviews coming!

Finally, I would like to end on thanking Zukreat herself who commented on my Instagram feed saying she was looking forward to my review of her products & thanking me for buying a product that she has put here heart & soul into!  I hope this blog post finds its way to you, because your products are amazing & the fact that you take time to read customer reviews say a lot about you as person, so keep on creating your wonderful range of products! You can find more of her products at her website 'www.artistofmakeup.com'
