"I use Alison Raffaele's Acne Response Primer and the Transparent Finish Powder absolutely every time I do Miley's makeup. The exceptional formulas provide the ultimate start and finish to perfecting a flawless canvas on her skin. We also appreciate that the products are free of parabens, oil, fragrance and talc- it comforts us both to know we are protecting and enhancing her beautiful, yet sensitive skin!"

"I've used Alison's [True] Concealer for a number of years and the coverage and colors are GREAT!! Skintones 2 & 3 are staples in my kit and I often mix them together. And I always keep a Transparent Finish Powder in my set bag for touch ups, as it never causes the makeup to look dry or caked on, even after several uses.
I also really enjoy working with her new takelon brushes - they're incredibly soft and give a beautiful, even application for both powder and cream makeups. And her new Face Forward Primers are like liquid velvet, smoothing out any dry patches on the skin.

"During the presidential campaign I had the opportunity to work with Michelle Obama several times. Your True Concealer in Skintone 6 was the perfect remedy for those long hours on the campaign trail. Thanks to your product, I was able to help her maintain that natural, yet flawless image..even under the intricate lighting of the Ellen Degeneres Show.
Since then I have used a combination of Skintone 5, 6 and 7 on India.Arie and Heather Headley to conceal, highlight and contour. I'm hooked! Now I can't imagine working without it. "

"I just got word that my friend, the super-sweet Tina Turnbow, is totally in love with my new Reality Base foundation[ Reality Base ]...and so is Calista Flockhart! According to Tina, when she did Calista's makeup for the Indiana Jones premier, Calista liked the foundation so much she just had to give her the bottle...and if case you are wondering, Miss Flockhart wears a Skintone #2. Thanks Tina!"

True Concealer, the name fits the product! It truly conceals without that "makeup-y" look. In the days of Hi-Def it's a must have in every artist's kit.

I absolutly love the Age Response Primer and I use it before every makeup application. There are so many primers now on the market but this one is definitely my favorite.

The foundation goes on so smoothly and the skin looks flawless. The foundation also last longer and does not need to be powdered as often. If powder is needed, the Transparent Finish Powder is the best!

All products are paraben and talc free and many actors I have worked with have expressed a concern about the makeup used on their skin and specifically the use of paraben products.

This definitely helps them to relax in the makeup chair knowing that I am aware of this with the products that I use on their skin.

I have never found a product that multitasks as much as yours does, and trust me; I have been looking for years!

[ Reality Base ] gives me the perfect amount of coverage with a beautiful finish and all day wear. I am so grateful to have met Kathleen Crawford, because otherwise, I would have never found a product that I will use forever!

Much Love,

I get asked all the time what makeup I recommend and it's always Alison Raffaele's. Her Reality Base Foundation creates a flawless and beautiful finish with the perfect amount of coverage and the [Face Forward] acne primer is my favorite for troubled skin. Normally I have problems getting makeup to stay on blemishes but with the [Face Forward] acne primer not only does the makeup go on easier, I don't have to touch up those areas for the rest of the day. The [Face Forward] age primer is equally as fantastic, as it really helps keep the makeup from settling into fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

I'm also obsessed with her True Concealers and her Transparent Finish Powder. The True Concealers are silky smooth with great coverage and a natural finish. And the Transparent Finish powder sets the makeup perfectly. On set, Alison's products are my best friend - especially when filming in High Definition. And the best thing is that Alison's products are actually healthy for the skin!

I absolutely love the Alison Raffaele foundations, primers and concealers. I recently ran across a slight problem with pocked skin. I tried everything but they still showed on the 30 foot screen. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the newly formulated Alison Raffaele products and gave them a shot. I was shocked! Not only did every spot on the face disappear but the skin looked FLAWLESS and NATURAL!!! I used the acne primer and a light layer of the foundation applied with a brush and smoothed with a sponge. I used a touch of the concealer only on one or two spots and It was truly amazing! The close-ups were shot about 12 hours after the initial application and I didn't have to touch up the foundation at all. The only thing that needed a touch up was under the eyes. I used the powder on the forehead and nose only to cut a bit of shine. The whole face looked beautiful, dewy and fresh. I couldn't believe my eyes. In 23 years in the film business I've never found a more beautiful, long lasting and easy to use foundation. The actress also loved it and said it felt really light and natural on her skin.

Thank you Alison and Glenn for formulating a truly innovative and beautiful line of cosmetics... Keep up the great work!

How serendipitous to have met Alison and tried her products! Every one of my clients is looking for a flawless, natural, long lasting concealer and Alison's True Concealer is my only trusted recommendation. It is so rewarding to work on set and have talent asking for recommendations of Alison's products because they see the beauty and wear of her cosmetics. I have slowly turned each one of my sets into a fan base for her. Whether on the red carpet or wearing through a 16 hour day for film, Alison's True Concealers always stay fresh and maintain their coverage. Recently I had the great fortune to work with a lovely actress where I started with the Face Forward Age Primer, which has the slip of a silk dress on the skin. It helps in applying foundation and the length of wear so that nothing settles into fine lines or wears through to large pores. I combined numbers 3 and 4 of the Reality Base Foundation to even out her sun kissed skin, then using a concealer brush, treated any redness with the True Concealer. For the under eye, I mixed the True Concealer with a little under eye cream, for a moisturizing flawless result. She could not have been happier and while her skin was evened out, ultimately her youthful glow was allowed to shine through and it lasted from the red carpet through her performance and then onwards to the after party. I am also in love with the Soft Glosses, as they are moisturizing and glossy but do not have the tackiness of most glosses. Alison's products enable me to be a better artist - thank you, Alison!
