yes, just like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory....I felt like I won the ticket to go see Willy Wonka! But this was even more fun for me....I got to go to the Ben Nye Make-Up Factory where they make everything!!!! ahhhhhhh so fun!!!
(this was me in the lab with Dana Nye, Ben Nye's son who runs everything...he was a make-up artist for years too...my favorite is that he did Sherman Hemsley's make-up for The Jefferson's!)
A LITTLE ABOUT BEN NYE: this was Ben Nye, who was a make-up artist that started in the 1930's, working on amazing movies like, The Fly, Gone with the Wind, The Sound of Music, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (with Marilyn Monroe)...and hundreds more from the 30's all the way up to the 80's!
Ben Nye started the Ben Nye Make-Up company for make-up artists in the movie and theatrical industry...famous, notable, and exceptional make-up artist have used Ben Nye for decades now!
me in the lab looking at foundation samples!
oh my wonderland of make-up labs! There were shelves full of beautiful pigments...and ingredients and things I've nver heard of, but it looked like a mad-scientist lab of beauty!!!
Me and Dana putting labels on the concealer containers!
me (no pregnant labor laws were violated! ha ha ha) stirring foundations! so fun!!!!!
Look at me! Learning how to fill concealer containers!
bottle of fake blood..in ZEST MINT flavor!
Filling giant bottle of fake blood! The real stuff makes me queasy, but I can totally handle fake blood!
putting stickers on face powders!
me taking a ping pong (aka table tennis) break with some of the Ben Nye staff! I did pretty well for a minute! ha ha ha
I felt like a kid in a candy store...look at all those beautiful pigments!!!!
me and Pat, talking about all the colors in the new palettes! I love them all! I was saying how much I love the Fashion Rouge Palette!
me and Pat, putting together the "Kandee Palette"...can you believe they even made me labels to put on the palette! I was in make-up heaven!!!!!
may I introduce the "Kandee Palette"!!!!! Can you tell by my smile, how excited I am!!!!
OH MY LOOK!!! Here's all the colors I picked that I absolutely LOVE!!!
Shell (ER-314), Au Naturelle (ER-318), Cobblestone (ER-315), Smokey Taupe (ER-36), Graphite (ER-98), Twilight Blue (ER-98), Mink Stole (ER-37), Coco Brown (ER-538), Black Brown (ER-595), Brown Berry (ER-78), Eggplant (ER-782), Black (ER-99)...
this is the only palette I've been using for the last 4 weeks, then when I went to BEN NYE, I got to add some of my favs to it!!!!!! These colors and pigments are amazing! No wonder they're what all the make-up artist in movies and tv use!
You can order the individual colors and palette from: www.bennyemakeup.com, or from
www.alconeco.com, or

me mixing lip liners and colors in the Ben Nye Make-Up studio...I can't even describe how fun this was for me!!!
Look!!! I got to mix up my own HOT PINK Lipstick!!!! They named it "Kandee Pink!"...this was such a fun, fun, fun day for me!
A huge thank you to Dana Nye and all the staff at Ben Nye, that welcomed me and made me feel like one of the make-up team members at their amazing company!
I will never forget this day...it was sooooo fun beyond words!

wow, how did you come across the opportunity to go there?
oohlala.
I don't know whether I would be more excited to visit a candy factory or a Kandee -- I mean, a makeup factory. :)
And I would love to have a Kandee Palette or Kandee Pink lipstick! How fun!
xoxo,
kandee fam lil sis
You should start your own make-up line. Healthy, safe, great make-up! You could make millions! :)
So fun, what a great experience. I'm sure the Kandee palette and lipstick will be bestsellers :)
OMG! That looks like so much fun! Love your palette by the way, Ben Nye should put it on the market:)
i love those ben nye palletes! They sell/use ben nye at my school.
ARG! Kandee! I am so jealous! I was just looking at the Ben Nye site earlier this week because I'm having a hard time finding a concealer that covers my dark under eye circles and someone suggested BN. I know we're not supposed to to covet but I'm so jealous you got a visit the HQ and play mad scientist! Good for you! : )
Jealous!!!
yeah, thats really nice to see this part of it))) i've just imagined a couple of , you know, old ladies ,or whatever age .. doing this everyday))) i mean u going to work and you put on stickers and stir the foundations and fill the fake blood bottles....they barely think of it as a fun))) well i mean..it's really great trying and getting deeper to enrich ur knowledge and then going back to what you love.... but well...it's just a meditation on relativity and illusions)))
speechless :-)) ..

I did a search for the palette, and wasn't available :(
this is awesome i never really knew they had make-up factory's i loved reading about it u look like u had the time of ur life.
I want the palette you made up :)I began to watch your Youtube videos in 2008, and since then I bought a LOT of MAC eyeshadows, and every single one of them were mentionned in your makeup tutorials, + in your "Favorite MAC eyeshadows" vlog. :) So the Kandee's Ben Nye palette is PERFECT. The colors are most of them neutral greys, brown, plum... I would buy them all (if I had enough money lol) !!
Can I have your palette? Thankssssssssssss! Can you make a video using Twilight Blue too? Thanksssssssssss!
