I bought these brushes myself, and received no discount on them, nor were any given to me free - damn it! I would like to think in time Mr Ford will be giving discounts to makeup artists that use his line - i'm doubtful though!
If you're listening Mr Ford, you should give me a call! We need to see more MATTE eyeshadows in your collection. While i love love love the "ethereal" glitter, adding more matte shades would mean more women would be able to wear them along with the "ethereal" glitter - because too much shimmer isn't pretty! And having shimmer, shimmer and "ethereal" glitter in a palette limits its uses on certain age groups. Adding matte shades would even out the collection more - and i believe increase your sales potential. Just a thought ...
