I have always been curious about his products since he was such an amazing MA.

Does any of you use his products? And where can I find them? Only searched around in Europe, but never seen any stores that have them.

 
I've never tried them but I think some are available at Sephora. I've always been curious about them, myself.

 
I use and really like the SSE foundation, I use it as a concealer though. I've also got one of the lipsticks, it's really nice, but imo not really worth the $$$, you can get cheaper ones that are just as nice.

 
Have his book but never tried his makeup... or ever seen it for sale anywhere....

 
I know it used to be availables on Victoria's Secret site, but I am not sure if it still is. You can also check beauty.com.

I want to try the liquid cyber lipgloss, but the price tag!

 
i used to use his sensual skin enhancer as a concealer til i found mineral makeup. now, i don't reach for it anymore. i tried his lipsticks and they're SOOO creamy, but i wasn't crazy about any of the shades.

i bought it online from his website and also from soho in nyc.

there are a few really high end stores ive seen them at (i was in chicago when i finally saw the line).

but when i looked at them i wasnt too impressed.

 
His line is very advanced. I have heard great things about KA SSE, powder, lipglosses. He studies in Japan.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

I knew I had seen it online somewhere but now that someone mentioned Victorias Secret I think I must have mistaken the two websites.

You can purchase his products by vistinig: Kevynaucoin.com, also I thought I heard somewhere that his products were being sold in Saks or Neiman Marcus.

In regards to finding a color for the SSE:Call one of the Neiman's that carries the line. I did this. I gave them the color of foundation I use for Estee Lauder and they matched me up perfectly. I was reluctant but it worked out great. I use this as a concealer and I'll have to throw it away from it getting old before I can possibly use it all. It's a small container but the amount of a pin head is all you need for one blemish. I use it for that and the sides of my nose where i have those stubborn broken little veins. UGGGH. But this stuff is gold to me.

can you use it as a foundation too?

I used it as a foundation by "spot" applying it with my fingertips rather than trying to saturate my entire face. Keep in mind this stuff covers everything so the look it doesn't exactly let your own skin show through. What's nice is the coverage can be controlled and it can go on light. But if you put it on too thick it can end up being a bit theatrical.
