Description

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am sharing something super practical that every makeup artist needs, whether you are brand new or have been in the game for years. We always talk about makeup products, but today I am breaking down the 10 non-makeup essentials that I cannot function without in my kit. These are the things that keep me organized, professional, and ready for any client.This idea came to me during the holiday sales rush, when my inbox was full of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. I realized that so many MUAs focus on buying new makeup, but forget the small essentials that actually make the job easier, cleaner, and more efficient. As I went through my kit, I found myself wanting to do a part two because there are so many overlooked essentials that truly make a difference.I walk you through everything I personally use on set, from how I store my pencils and foundations to the tools I use to maintain sanitation and keep clients comfortable. I share my eSum bag setup, my beloved Niji Roll, my favorite affordable sponges, the best types of Q-tips, my must-have Vueset palettes, disposable razors, handheld fans, sample containers, towels, alcohol sprays, and my all-time favorite tool that always gets compliments: the Twissors.If you are building your kit, revamping it, or just want to level up your professionalism, this episode will give you real, helpful tools you can start using immediately.Enjoy this episode!Leave us a 5 star review and share this episode with a friend or 2 or 3.info@friendsinbeauty.com
