foundation and concealer
This is my go-to foundation. It's buildable so you can do natural or glam looks. A great shade range and if you wait for the Sephora sale you can get them up to 20% off!
Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation - Makeup
The Universal shade is a MUST for your kit. It's great for men, especially men who don't want tinted products on their face. I used this on a certain candidate running for president appearing on a TV interview, whose staff informed me that he prefers products that don't contain color.
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation
This is my go-to foundation brush. I have about 5 in my kit. Makes foundation look beautiful!
Stain & Tint Blending Brush
eyes lips and cheeks
I don't believe in Mascara that costs more than $20. Especially since when we work on the same actor for several days or weeks, we give them their own personal mascara so we aren't constantly using disposable mascara wands. This is a makeup kit staple and carbon black is my favorite shade!
Voluminous Voluminous-Carbon-Black-Mascara
After the pandemic and we went back to work, one of our biggest issues with makeup was keeping the lips on our actors with a mask. Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink to the Rescue. This stuff saved us!
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick Mover
Every Pro MUA has this in their kit. It is universal and you can do just about anything with this eyeshadow palette
PETITES MATTES NEUTRAL
This is my go-to shimmer palette. Great for Brides or when you want to add something special to a client.
PETITES SHIMMERS PARIS NUDES
A classic. This is bronzer 101. A must-have
Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
Skin Prep & Setting Spray
Universally beloved in the beauty community, you can't go wrong with this moisturizer. No bells or whistles, just good moisture that works for all.
Ultra Facial Daily Moisturizer - Everyday Face Moisturizer - Kiehl’s
When I'm working on actors in the summer heat, this stuff is awesome. Keeps super sweaty talent looking matte and fresh. Especially great for bald heads!
Carpe Diem
Setting and Finishing Powders
This powder is my every day go-to to finish and set my makeup look without the skin looking dry or cakey. It's beautiful on all skin types and tones!
