Makeup items that are in my professional kit at all times!
My favourite setting spray!
Morphe Continuous Setting Mist
These lashes have been a favorite from the first time I tried them. They are SO lightweight, my clients are always amazed at how comfortable they feel.
Ardell Naked Lashes #421
Similar to the #421 naked lashes, these just have a bit more of a cat-eye shape to them!
Ardell Naked Lashes #424
One of my favourite brands of lip liners, especially the nudes! These are always stocked in my kit. They're waterproof, so they make a great base underneath any lipstick or lip gloss.
Lise Watier Lip Liners
I don't think I'll ever stop using this foundation on clients. It's the perfect foundation for a natural, radiant, skin-like finish.
MAC Studio Radiance Face & Body Foundation
One of the best concealers I've ever used! Provides high coverage without ever looking cakey, and works with almost all skin types.
Super affordable, and they work just as well as any high-end brow pencil
NYX Micro Brow Pencil
One of the best foundations out there in my opinion, it looks good on everyone!
Makeup Forever HD Skin Foundation
Works wonders for dark circles!
Vasanti Liquid VO2 Dark Circle Eraser
No matter what look I'm creating on a client, I always use at least one shade from this palette, it's a staple for me.
Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette
Such a stunning highlight!
Colourpop "Lunch Money" Super Shock Highlighter
These are great to use on their own as a liquid highlight, or to mix in with a serum, foundation, etc. to creat a glowy base ✨️
Drunk Elephant B-Goldi Bright Drops
I absolutely love these Stardust Glitters! I personally don't ever use them as liner, just eye shadow toppers to add an extra pop of shine and dimenaion. The shades Borealis, Pegasis, and Orion are the 3 that are in my kit at all times, as they are p...
Lise Watier Stardust Glitter Liner & Shadow
I've tried so many contour powders and I keep coming back to this palette. I've been using this palette for years, since long before Kat Von D sold her shares in the company, and before it was refillable - because yes, this palette is refillable now,...
KVD Beauty Shade + Light Refillable Powder Face Contour Palette
These are my new go-to blushes to use on clients! They are sooo luminous and give the skin a stunning glow! My clients LOVE these blushes.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush
Skincare/Skin Prep
Products I use to prep my clients' skin before makeup application
This serum works with all skin types and wears really well under makeup, as it's super light-weight!
Things that help me keep my kit tidy and organized.
Of course the kit essentials list needs to include the actual kit itself!
Luxspire 3 Layer Makeup Travel Train Case, Black
A part of my soul dies everytime I depot a lipstick lol but these palettes just make my job so much easier, as all my lipsticks are in one place and I can see all of them all at once.
Vueset Lipstick Palette
Carrying a bunch of different eyeshadow palettes and individual blushes, bronzers, etc. takes up soo much room, so I've recently starting popping the pans out of their original packaging and organizing them into these palettes! Game changer, it's sav...
Allwon 4-Layer Magnetic Makeup Palette
I use this little label maker to label all my de-potted/condensed products.
SUPVAN E10 Mini Bluetooth Label Maker
Disposables
Applicators, sponges, and more!
I use these little bags to make small touch-up kits for my clients. They're the perfect size and you can't beat the price. I'm always stocked up on these!
50pcs/package 10*12cm Mesh Drawstring Bags
Disposable mascara wands are a non-negotiable in a makeup artist's kit! (if an artist ever tries to apply mascara on you with the actual product applicator, RUN).
100Pcs, 2 Color Disposable Mascara Wands
There are tons of option for sponges on Shein!
Makeup Puffs & Sponges 30pcs
I like to keep powder puffs in my kit at all times, and Shein has the best bulk prices I've been able to find. To eliminate waste, I always give my client the powder puffs I've used on them so they can use it for touchups!
30pcs Triangle Shaped Makeup Powder Puffs
Miscellaneous
I love to keep a little light in my kit as I always take photos of my clients.
