Make up Factory USA High Quality Cosmetics: Beauty Product Review #BirthdayBeat

Make up Factory is a dermatologically approved and cruelty-free makeup line made in Germany.  The company seeks to provide high-quality cosmetics for individuals throughout the world.
I had the opportunity to use their makeup and wanted to share a review.  Last weekend was perfect!  I celebrated my birthday and needed a new look.
Make up Factory shipped the International Eye Palette, Color Perfection Lip Liner, and Long-wearing Luxury Lipstick.  When I opened the package the products looked amazing.  Each item was rich in color and texture.  This is very important to me because I seek products that compliment my mocha skin tone.  Some cosmetics brands have beautiful shades but the pigment is not visible.
I applied the eyeshadow and realized it doesn’t require a lot of powder on the brush.  This is important because I accidentally brushed too much shadow over one eye!  The same concept should be used for the other two products as well.  I didn’t use a hard application with the lip liner, and the lipstick was beautiful.
If you’re searching for a cosmetics brand that will provide the appearance of a Pro-Makeup Artist, visit Make up Factory USA.
