Important Tips in Building your Freelance Makeup Artist Kit

Building your freelance makeup kit isn't as expensive or tedious as you may think. While yes, it certainly is necessary to build a kit with a variety of products in an assortment of shades, it can be done on a budget. Where more new freelance makeup artists go wrong is believing that they must stock their makeup kit with nothing but high-end department store products. Clients don't care about name brands - they care about high quality, long-lasting makeup that applies beautifully. Below, we'll discuss 2things you must consider when building your freelance kit.

The Brand Doesn't Matter

Your makeup kit needs to be filled with high quality makeup. Whether you paid $10 for a drugstore foundation, or $40 for a department store version doesn't matter. As long as it is a quality product, it should have a fair chance at having a place within your kit. However, items which rely on pigment to give the 'wow factor,' such as eye shadows and bronzers are best when purchased at department stores. Drugstore eye shadows and bronzers are known to have weak pigmentation, and therefore wear off faster and don't apply as dramatically.

Train Case Logic

While taking large, rolling train cases may seem convenient and professional, they can prove to be a large hassle. Imagine traveling from your home or office to do a bride's makeup, only to find out that the location only has stairs, and therefore, you will have to carry that 50-lb monster up a flight of stairs. It will be a lot of work. For this reason, it's best to pack lightly and bring along an easily transportable train case, such as a hand-held, or even a clear duffel bag imprinted with your logo. Consolidate all of your eye shadows into palettes, therefore they pack into your train case neatly and in a compact manner. Rather than being able to carry 30 loose eye shadows and having to scramble to find them, switching them over into a makeup pallet allows you to carry 150 or more eye shadows at one time, and access them immediately, as eye shadow palettes are easy to label.

Building your freelance makeup kit doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Nor does it require that you travel with a large train case to your location. Precision is key. Being precise about the ideal products for your kit and being precise about how you organize your kit are two of the most important aspects of building any makeup artist's professional kit. It's important to remember, while the tools in your makeup kit are an important aspect of becoming a successful freelance makeup artist, your skill is why people hire you to apply their makeup professionally. Every makeup artist has to start somewhere.
