Becoming a Makeup Artist: Building Your Kit for Aspiring MUA (The Affordable Way)

Becoming a Makeup Artist | Building Your Makeup Kit for Aspiring MUA

Clockwise: 15 Color Camoflage & Concealer Palette, La Femme 12-Palette Blush Set, 88 Color Warm Eye Shadow Palette, 32 Color Lip Palette, BH Cosmetics 120 Eye Shadow 3rd Edition Palette & 120 Eye Shadow Palette.

 

As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently enrolled in the Professional Makeup course at the Face Place. For any makeup artist, one of the most important things you have to invest in is your makeup kit. But for most of us who are just starting out (myself included), since you're not getting paid as yet, you don't want to break the bank. So I did my research and found most if not all my essential items at an affordable price. The only thing I think I may need to add to my kit are a few more foundations. I did purchase a cream concealer and colour corrector palette but I think I may run out based on the size.

The school does offer a makeup kit in association with Sacha Cosmetics. However, the reason I decided to get my own kit was because the kit offered by the beauty brand did not include an actual carry case, eyeshadow palette etc and this was almost double the price I paid to purchase my own supplies.

Below I listed the company websites I used to purchase most of my items:

www.eyeslipsface.com
www.lecosmetique.com
www.bhcosmetics.com
www.makeupmania.com

I hope you found this little info useful. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave it in the comment section below. Thanks for visiting my blog!

I wasn't too disappointed with the results except for the fact that my hair didn't dry completely which inevitably led to frizz. Its a good thing I like messy hair ;)



Review: La Femme Blushes

What are they?

These are professional blushes that have been used by pro makeup artists for years. They come in high-intensity colours that are said to last for 12 hours and able to withstand harsh, hot lights and long hours. Blushes come in matte and shimmery shades as well as in a wide variety of colors (try 40 plus colours) to fit any and everyone. Whatever you’re skin tone, there’s a blush for you.
