Hard Pastel over Soft Pastel by Susan Lyon

I am working on some Pastel demo videos right now and I thought I would take a clip from one of them and post it.
The lesson in this one is how I use hard pastel over soft pastel.
Not every portrait is the same, but it shows a little technique of using little strokes of warm and cool over each other.

I love the results, it's a beautiful combination of distinct marks and subtle blending.

I know you have a TON of pastels, what are your favorites and why?
Which pastel pencils do you recommend?

[@susanlyonfineart]

If I had to choose 3 , I would say Conte a paris, Holbein and Girault.
