With all the new cosmetic lines flooding the market, Koh Gen Do delivers. It gives an amazing finish perfect for HD. I especially love the Macro Vintage Essence Mask.

Michelle Daurio,
Makeup Dept. Head, CBS "The Late Late Show" w Craig Ferguson & HBO's "Real Time w Bill Maher"

"I discovered KohGenDo (KGD) at the IMATS of 07 and have found it simply one of the most versatile and user friendly lines of makeup that I have ever encountered. After much experience with the challenges that HD shooting poses, I came to learn that only ONE powder- KGD's Natural Lighting Powder could cut the sheen from certain harsh interior lighting, and outdid all others including anti-shine - AMAZING. Between their 3 foundation colors, 3 color primers, and 2 of the most effective HD loose powders I've encountered, I can satisfy most of my basic makeup needs. " "KGD's yellow primer makes for the most flawless of skin tones, even where more makeup coverage is needed, this primer allows for a sheer makeup application...
GORGEOUS"
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about KGD's Spa Water... It's nearly EVERYTHING in one when it comes to a facial wash..."

The Lipstick palette is beautiful as well as the texture. The colors are foolproof, warm and lights up our face. I have been using the skin care and find it to be one of the best. After trying all of the high end lines, I love this one. I see and feel a difference in the texture of my skin!

Ronnie Specter,
Celebrity makeup artist for Kim Basinger, Michelle Pfeiffer

The Maifanshi pressed powder is beautiful and delicate enough for the under eye area. The fresh face blushes are subtle and distribute evenly and velvety on the skin....gorgeous!

Melanie Hughes-Weaver,
Makeup Dept Head "The Next Three Days" starring Elizabeth Banks, Russell Crowe

I love using KohGenDo. The makeup is flawless and beautiful. The girls on Eastwick love the line.

Jori Jenae, Head Makeup Dept; Eastwick

Makeup has finally reached where we want it.

Myke Michaels, Makeup Dept Head; Big Bang starring Antonio Banderas

First of all, we are in love with the line. I especially like the yellow toned concealer. The skincare line is lightweight and clean, perfect with makeup and to help nurture the skin after. We also love the powder puffs, organic cotton pads and Cleansing Spa Water... Simple but so nice to have added to our makeup kits.

Melanie Mills, Makeup Dept Head; Dancing With the Stars

KohGenDo moisture foundations are not only great for HD, they are one of the only brands that work as well on mature skin as they do on 20-somethings. I love using the pearl white base underneath for a perfect, flawless look and then adding warmth with the glow of the natural lighting loose powder. Another amazing thing is watching how the cleansing water removes even stubborn sfx makeup. That stuff is magic in a bottle!

Joelle Troisi,
Key Makeup Artist on HBO's 'You Don't Know Jack' starring Susan Sarandon, Al Pacino and John Goodman

“I’ve been using KohGenDo Moisture Foundation 03 and Maifanshi Natural Lighting Powder on Jake Gyllenhaal for his roll in ‘Love and Other Drugs’ and have had beautiful results. Key Makeup Artist Vivian Baker, who recently won an Emmy for her work on ‘Grey Gardens,’ loves the Oriental Plants Lotion and Emollient Cream which leave the skin feeling hydrated and radiant. We both adore the Maifanshi Lipsticks. They give beautiful sheer color that looks stunning on camera. For Judy Greer, we used the Lipstick in pk02, and the Moisture Foundation in pk13 and she looked amazing.”

Elaine Offers,
Makeup Department Head on feature film “Love and Other Drugs” starring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhall.

"As we move into a more technological realm, with personal phone camera's and high definition video everywhere, cosmetics have to adjust to the new medium.
KohGenDo cosmetics is THE leader in High-Definition cosmetics. The 'Hi- Def' age is here and so is KohGenDo to support that realm in a natural beautiful way."

Darrell Redleaf
Celebrity Beauty Expert, Makeup Artist for Michelle Rodriguez, Joss Stone

“I use KohGenDo on Vanessa Williams every day on set and we both love it! It gives a light reflecting sheen to her skin! We shoot in HD so this line works perfectly in making her skin look flawless on camera. I use a mixture of the Moisture Foundations (# 301, 302, and 303) and then set the look with the HD Powder in Medium.”

Kate Best, Key Makeup Artist for Vanessa Williams on Ugly Betty

I love KohGenDo products! Our show shoots in HD and once I used the miraculous HD foundations, the result was a flawless finish! The foundation is easily blendable, it stays put and I don't need to do as many touch ups during the day as I used to. It also cuts down on the time the actor is in my chair since I use less concealer now.

Sarit Klein, Key makeup Artist, "Nurse Jackie"

"If you're looking for a buildable and touchable complexion, KohGenDo is the foundation you want to use! I use it for both editorial and film and the finish is remarkable. Its mixing methods alone gives the artist creative flexibility without compromising texture. Something I find very important when creating a balanced base. You will fall in love, trust me."

Daniel Martin,
Makeup Artist of Wall Group, NY.

I absolutely love KohGenDoh foundations. I work with Celebrities for Red Carpet Events, Magazines and Talk Shows and these foundations go on smoothly , they blend easily and never look heavy, and the loose powder actually gives the skin a lovely sheen, without creasing or settling in fine lines. Finally a foundation that my clients will actually say "my skin looks flawless" Thank you and I can't wait to see what you come out with next!

Coleen Campbell-Olwell,
Celebrity Makeup Artist for Jennifer Morrison.

"If you want to really treat yourself (and your kit), I recommend trying the KohGenDo lip brush! It picks up the perfect amount of lipstick and glides softly over the lips while still giving you control over shape and color distribution. My other lip brushes feel clunky in comparison."

Michelle Kearns,
Makeup Dept Head for feature film "The Best and the Brightest"

"I am a huge fan of the new KohGenDo Lip Colors. They glide on so smoothly & provide a moist subtle pout. You'll find them in my kit and my purse. "

Paula Jane Hamilton,
Key Makeup Artist Melrose Place

"I found the products to be of high quality and they created a natural yet flawless, no makeup look, and after wearing products for long hours under the hot lights no problems with breakouts! Thanks for creating something that helps Makeup Artists look better and satisfy the needs of our talent."

Diane Heller makeup artist
"The Last Airbender"

"KohGenDo Moisture foundation is gorgeous. If you are looking for a way to streamline your kit, here it is. They come in a convenient tube so you can control the amount you need and no cross contamination. Apply sheer or add layers where you need it. We have all run into actor's that don't like to be powdered but if you get the Maifanshi powder and powder puffs your problems are solved. The puffs are so luxurious and the powder is so sheer actors look forward to being powdered because they love the feel of the puff on their face."

Kim Ayers , Makeup Artist
Year One, Angels & Demons, Ironman 2

"I am in love with the Cleansing Spa Water and Organic Cotton from KohGenDo. The Cleansing Spa Water is great on set for taking off makeup without even needing to wash your face! The Organic Cotton is super soft and great for sensitive skin. You will never want to go back to using regular cotton again!"

Marianna Elias
Key Makeup HOUSE MD

"I am a big fan of KohGenDo and love using it on my actors. The foundations work amazing with HD and the lipsticks are super moist and nice to wear."

Simone Almekias-Siegl
Makeup Department Head for feature film "You Again" starring Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristen Chenoweth and Sigourney Weaver

As department head of makeup on "Entourage" and also "90210" I rely on all of the KohGenDo products. With today's high definition television I never have to worry that the makeup will look too heavy or cakey . The skin always looks fresh and flawless. The moisture foundation is amazing ! It glides on and makes the skin look flawless without ever looking like makeup. I also love all the primers because it smooths out the skin while toning down redness so you can apply less makeup. Most important is the skincare. For an absolutely beautiful face I always have the actors use all the skincare products to ensure their skin is in the best possible shape before applying the makeup.

Robert Rapport
Makeup Department Head, Entourage, 90210

"KohGenDo foundations are so beautiful and when shooting in HD it is very important to have a foundation that you can trust. KohGenDo foundation enhanced Katherine's flawless look. Even after hours in the heat and humidity it never failed us. I love KohGenDo products.

"I love using the Aqua Foundation white illuminator for a nice glow on the face using the airbrush on just the high points of the face.

I also love the color bases, they have done wonders toning down the ruddiness especially in harsh climates of wind and sun."

Rocky Faulkner
Makeup Artist, One Tree Hill

In my opinion the search for the flawless foundation ended when I was introduced to KohGenDo.
The Moisture Foundation looks as fresh as the moment of application even after a 12 hour work day with minimal retouching.
Once it is powder set it is water resistant and sweat-proof. The coverage is buildable and still looks and feels like skin.
I have used it on the most sensitive skin types and because it is a botanically based line easily irritable skin remains calm.
The Pearl White is the greatest secret weapon for blurring fine lines and large pores.
This brand is a staple in my kit and I am patiently waiting for all of the wonderful things to come.

Autumn Butler
Makeup Dept Head for Parks and Recreation starring Amy Poehler

"I rarely get excited about the endless succession of new products, but KohGenDo is an exception. Their original creme base has a unique finish and look on the skin and the under-eye correctors completely mask discolorations without requiring much retouching and without looking cakey.

Their new liquid base also compares favorably in texture to other top lines.
I use KohGenDo on Pushing Daisies and have been very happy with the results."
