In this video I’m finally showing you what’s in my makeup kits when I’m out doing weekend makeup gigs—weddings, events, and any occasion where I need my full pro setup. I work Monday to Friday in an office, so weekends are when I get to do my passion, and these are the kits I actually grab and go with. I also share a big part of my journey with Online Makeup Academy, because I’ve been collaborating with them for about two years and I genuinely love their courses. I walk you through the Online Makeup Academy Elite Career Path and why I think it’s the main course to take if you’re starting in the beauty industry. It covers everything from kit building and organization, skin prep, color theory, and client needs, to bridal, mature makeup, male grooming, and creative/editorial techniques. I also talk about how I personally prefer brushes over reusable sponges for sanitation, why I’m obsessed with a good smokey eye, and how trends have shifted into more “clean,” no-makeup makeup (which I love). Then we get into my actual kit setup—my newer backpack-style organization, my Amazon brush case with clean/dirty separation, and the essentials I always keep on hand like disposables, clips, sanitizer, lash tools, mixing plates, and the little things that make you faster and more professional on-site.
