Celebrating Crystal Hamilton and her newest Paw Palettes


Hi guys! It's Kim and Melissa and we really want to celebrate pro artists who have created their own products or product lines. Today's post is about Crystal Hamilton, a makeup artist based in Santa Monica, California and her wonderful makeup tool the Paw Palette.

You'll see her palette on most sets these days and featured in lots of Youtube videos including many on our own Greene Street Beauty's channel.

Crystal, is a friend of ours so we know first hand that she is an effervescent person with a unique and fun style so it's no surprise that her designs are too. 
The Paw Palette 
Crystal originally designed the Paw Palette for herself based on a need to be hygenic and not just put makeup on the back of her hand. "I had always seen makeup artists on TV use the back of their hand to apply makeup, because it’s easier and faster [than traditional palettes]. But when I went to makeup school, they said, ‘You can’t do that, that’s a no-no.’ You can wash your hands and scrub them all you want, but when you’re working on different models you need to practice safe, sanitary habits. So I had to figure out a way to get that back. I figured there must be something like that out there, but I was searching and searching and I couldn’t find a palette like that anywhere."*
Crystal has taken her designs a step further with these really fun Paw Palette rings. 
The Paw Palette ring comes in many styles including these.

She recently came out with magnatized palettes too. Great idea!

Crystal is in the process of creating new products and we will keep you posted as they become a reality. We are sure they will be both creative and fun, just like Crystal.
