It is important to invest in high-quality products that are suitable for the type of makeup artistry you will be doing, whether it is for photo shootings, movies, TV, events, etc. . Avoid stocking your kit with products that are cheaply made and/or hard to clean and sanitize.
When assembling a makeup kit, it is recommended to start with the basics and the essential frame of your kit initially, and then build it up as you get paid work. It is also important to disinfect all products after every use and to stay organized by separating makeup by type.
It is worth noting that some products may contain ingredients that can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation. It is important to research the ingredients and materials used in the products and tools included in the kit to ensure they are safe for use.
