These are favorites and staples in my kit . I’m still trying new products though but can I talk more about these ones since I’ve used and still using them. They are certainly not the ultimate. All are based on personally preferences . Feel free to add more if need be.

Makeup Artist Kit Essentials:: Disposables


Hi Everyone

In order to keep you work spotless and clean as makeup artist, you need disposables. Disposables are meant to be used once and tossed.They help to sanitize makeup application and also speed up work. Before i got started as a makeup artist , i used to wonder how i would apply lip gloss with with same wand on multiple persons but after a thorough research from other bloggers i bump into disposable makeup items. And so far i'm loving them.

Come with me .....
