>>7320089My biggest one time expense was buying art pastel singles online, since there was no local shop. I tried to buy an assortment of good flesh and neutral "makeup" type colors, and no diarrhea or eye infection ones. I think I spent over $100 for about 30 sticks. Not every one was good, but most were.
It did improve my faceups instantly. No more mixing "student" chalk on a paper plate, perfect colors every time.
