Shown above is the Black Medium Z-Palette with 5 standard sized shadows (if you are familiar with MAC shadows that is the size of these shadows). This palette is magnetized, so if you have products already magnetic then it's ready to go. If not it comes with 16 magnets (8 square,8 round) to fit anything from your shadows to bronzers. This palette is also deep set, so you can get your domed bronzers, and powders in here just fine.


A little tip for anyone who is wanting to become a makeup artist. Buy these Z palettes, depot your favorite drugstore products into them, and no one will know what brand you are using. I have one large Z palette with all my Jordana blushes depotted in it. Guess what, I have people picking Jordana Apple Cheeks blush all the time. They assume it's MAC and they don't have hesitation because it's a drugstore brand. I also have a Z palette that is full of Wet and Wild shadows as well. It is a good way to look professional, without breaking the budget when building your Pro Kit.


I have been using Z palettes for years, so when I got the opportunity to try out some new ones I had to jump at it. I am also happy to share their sale that just started today, because whether or not you are a makeup artist or a beauty lover you need a Z palette in your life. Imagine if all your favorite shadows were in one place, no more single shadows taking up drawer space.

You may be thinking Makeup for Men? However, let me tell you that most of my work is bridal work and I have always touched up men before photos. Until recently I was just using my products that I used for my bridal clients. I was honored when Menaji sent their makeup and skincare for men for me to try out. I knew I had an upcoming wedding and the bride had already mentioned if I would touch up the men so her pictures were perfect.

That is where the Menaji HDPV powder came into play, it is made for men because they are 20% oilier than women. So it is made to stop the oil, and not look cakey, which is exactly what it did. Plus I love that it is in a sleek black packaging which doesn't scare the men away. I used this not only on the groom but also a few of the groomsmen. It stopped the oil, the shine and made for great pictures.

I only had to use a little bit of the concealer, which was in the shade magnum light. I was pleased by how smooth it went on, and blended easily. Because no guy wants to be at a wedding with obvious makeup on his skin.  I hadn't used these products before that day, so I could have went into a disaster if they performed poorly. 

I was so pleased to have these products, I could have done the job with other products in my kit. However, I know that these are amazing quality and they lasted and no complaints from my male clients which is what you want as an artist. The women want to look and feel beautiful on their big day, but the men would prefer that no one knew they had products on their face.

If you are an artist looking to build your kit, you should look into Menaji products. I am so pleased with how they performed. Let me know what your favorite products for your male clients are!
