I don't believe I've ever posted about my kit before so here it goes. Last year I freelanced for M.A.C. Cosmetics but my work and school schedule made it difficult to freelance for them so I recently started doing it on my own. I like to only carry high quality, highly pigmented products in my kit so this isn't even half of my makeup collection. Something that I am in need of buying is a foundation palette so if anyone has any recommendations please let me know.
So here it is...
MAC Traincase
MAC Brush Belt
& Sephora Large Makeup Bag with removable Velcro compartments
Contents of the Sephora Bag
Bare Escentuals Makeup Remover Cotton Buds $5. I was going to purchase the MAC Cleansing Tips for $15 until I read about this. You get 24 to a pack and what you have to do to activate the remover is break one end of the Q-tip for the liquid to disperse. They work pretty well & I'd definitely recommend trying them if you don't want to spend $15 for the MAC version.
Face Secrets applicators can be found at Sally Beauty Supply. I love using these for makeup application. They are cheap at about $3.50 per pack and great quality. From left to right are doe foot lipgloss applicators, mascara wands and lip brushes.
In the first compartment I store all lip glosses (never personal ones)
lipsticks, and a Bobbi Brown lip palette.
In the second compartment I have foundations in various shades,
concealers, correctors and some MAC wedge sponges.
In the last compartment I keep primers, moisturizers and highlighters.
The traincase stores my MAC eyeshadow and blush palettes. I use a MAC Quad palette to store the specific shades that I'm using on the bride at the time. MAC individual lashes and Duo glue are always a must for my kit. Waterproof mascara, Fix +, blushes that can not be depotted and an eyelash curler are also stored in here. Most importantly I carry 91% Alcohol in a tiny spray bottle for sterilization purposes. Spraying down your makeup pre and post makeup application is a must.
MAC Brushes, tissues, bobby pins and pointed Q-tips are kept in my belt. You can purchased this belt from MAC PRO stores.
& lastly a picture of me touching up the bride's makeup for a wedding I did last week.
If you live in the NYC/L.I. area Contact Me for makeup application =)
Thanks for reading!
