I received a PR package of these products months ago and more products were available at the DC conference/workshop I attended in May (see my DC post).
I have revamped my makeup to include these cruelty free products and I can review them as perfect for a light, natural look...my preferece for myself and clients.
For a full, accurate review, see Michelle Wong on YT (June 1st video).
I'd be happy to answer questions for anyone wanting to try this line.
Definitely two thumbs up from me for all products.

This is one of my favorite lines!!! I love the lit up and the blushes!! A little pricey but worth it and the packaging is really nice

How much testing is necessary to see how new foundations photograph? Or isn't that a problem anymore?

@depglass I'm not sure I know what you mean by "testing" and "photograph".
The only issues I have with foundations not photographing well (bridal or editorial photographs) is if the foundation has sunscreen. In those incidences, I don't use foundations with SPF.

@curlygirl13 It's definitely a pricey line, but using the foundation sticks for months, I've barely made a dent in them. If they last as long as it seems to be, they will be less expensive than the Bobbi Brown sticks I've used for decades.
I love the blush Petal, for me. Lit up is a good primer where you'd like a little more shine under the foundation sticks.
I also use BB Vitamin Enriched Face Base as my moisturizer. All BB moisturizers are also primers. The sticks do not contain silicones, so these products help the sticks go on more smoothly and I find I need less foundation.

@Shanus What foundations do you typically use on brides & how many shades do you need to keep in your kit to cover the range of skin tones?
The same question about concealers. What concealer do you like & how many colors do you need to carry in your kit?
Do you use a different foundation for editorial looks or the same foundation as you would use on brides?
Do you ever have clients contact you after your application that have had reactions to any of the makeup? Has there ever been a product that you had to quit using because of people having reactions?
Do you use the same products on men as women or do you find that different products work better for one or the other?

Shanus, that's exactly what I was talking about, the bridal photos. And you answered with the sunscreen explanation.

@Dusty1 Whoa, a lot of questions. I need to "stock" various foundations in a wide range of shades, but am able to mix and match them (and concealers) fairly well, so I don't need to purchase every shade in every product or line.
Reactions? When a client comes in, the first questions I ask is if they have allergies or reactions to any ingredients in primers or skincare or makeup. Most of the time, they prefer mineral or chemical spf and are reactive to silicones.
For brides and editorial work, I always use a foundation that does not have sunscreen because it will have flash back in photographs. I tend to use BB Foundation Sticks which used to have sunscreen, but were reformulated years ago to eliminate spf.
My concealers/correctors of choice are by Bobbi Brown because of the huge shade range. The same with the Serum foundation and the Skin Weightless foundation (but both have SPF). I like the EL Double wear because it's medium to full coverage, but I can "cut it" to sheer by adding moisturizer. I also keep a shade range of Lancome Tient Idole sticks and foundation. I also try to use concealers within the same line as foundations because the formulations seem to go well together...color and texture.
Men? I have very few male cients unless it's just touch up with bronzer on the groom to try to match the bride who has self-tanned. In the past, doing some editorial work, male clients requested undereye concealers and bronzer. Doing too much on men mostly looks fake (ie. conturing, blush, etc.) Eye makeup only exits as a bit of liner and a lash curler.
Products in office are more extensive than what I can manage to carry to a wedding. Since the bride and her bridal party have already come in for their "trial appt.", I can pare down the kit to those products used, but do ask them to let me know if they've self tanned, need extra concealer than what we did in office, etc.
I hope I answered most of your questions. Let me know if you'd like more clarification.

I have never worn a foundation due to my allergies and roscea. My face is more pink toned and my neck more yellow toned.
Just got on the email list for this line of cosmetics after seeing the brow makeup. Thanks for the thumbs up for this line!

I have never tried this line. I've watched several Michele Wang videos where she demonstrates them. If I didn't already have a dozen foundations, I'd like to try the stick foundation.
