top 10 kit essentials
Top 10 kit essentials
People ask me on makeup jobs what are my kit essentials so I
thought I would share with you guys what is a must for me. Everyone is
different but here are my top 10 kit essentials that I can’t leave the house
without for a job.
10. Mints.
There is
nothing worse than a makeup artist with smelly breath. It puts your client off
massively. I always remember when i was little going into a shop with my mum
and Nan and we stopped at a makeup counter. We were looking at products for my Nan
and the lady came over to us and offered to show my Nan what it looked like on
her. My Nan was so put off by the smell of the girl’s breath she made an excuse
and went away. You wouldn't like it if
you had a professional doing your makeup breathing on you with smelly
breath! VERY OFF-PUTTING!
9. Cleanser.
You will always need
a cleanser or wipes in your kit. I carry a few different things so it suits the
client im with, nars makeup remover water, simple foam cleanser and I got 3
different types of wipes sensitive, normal and dry. You will always need some
kind of cleanser whether its wipes or oil. It’s not nice for the clients if you
can't be there with a wipe if needed!

£4.49
8. Bag, bin or box.
I always hate it when
I see other MUA's not have anything to put their rubbish in,. It look so unprofessional
have all your dirty wipes disposables over the table. You can buy a mini table bin, I have got one
which you can fold down after you have used it. http://www.gurumakeupemporium.com/epages/BT4080.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT4080/Products/683
which is £4.75 (highly recommend it) just make sure the table is tidy!
7. Hydra veil.
This is the best thing
for a mua. It completely changes the clients face. It’s a must, there are no
words to describe this magical mixture.

£30. 00
6. Lip balm.
This can be used at the start of a makeup look to rehydrate
the lips or to give a finishing touch. Not only a hero for the lips, you can use it
as a glitter medium or to create a wet look eye. I have every Vaseline in my kit. They last a
long time and are really good value for money.
Can change the way the lip feels straight away.
5. Disposables/ cotton pads/tissues.
EVERY mua should have disposables in their kit. It is the
safest way to apply makeup like mascara and lip-gloss. I have two boxes full of different
disposables from different types of wands to
Special fx wands.
I have a box of tissues and cotton pads as they both come in useful from
blotting the lips to using as a protective barrier under eyes.
4. Business cards.
You never know who will be there. Always give your cards out
so people have your number and details (you never know they could pass it on to
someone else) always offer them to every client you work with.
3. Setting powder.
There is nothing worse than a shiny face. Make sure you have
powder so you can powder throughout the shoot, or job. It’s a setting barrier and will stop the
makeup from moving, this makes your job easier when touching up!
2. Hand sanitizer.
Always use this, it keeps everything safe, even if you stop and go get a drink, it puts your clients at ease knowing you are being safe and hygienic. You can get lovely smelling ones so it’s not too harsh when going back to doing the makeup.
1. Lashes.
You can never have enough eye lashes, and you never know what
your job is going to be, I feel eyelashes can change a look completely and
finish it off. You don’t have to get
really expensive eyelashes and they are reusable (if you are going to reuse make
sure you clean them properly!)

This is what I can’t live without when doing the makeup, most
of them are nothing special but just makes it a lot easier for you to be a
professional makeup artists. Hope you enjoyed reading.
