Building a Beginner Makeup Artist Kit: What's In My Kit!

The products an MUA uses is just as important as the talent and knowledge; therefore, it is important to take the time to develop your products, talent and knowledge.  As a beginner, it is essential to use a variety of high end and low end makeup but all of excellent quality. 


The following items have been the culmination of accumulation for about 11 months.  The progress is slow but steady and I am very proud of my kit and take my craft and this endeavor very seriously!  

I hope this itemized list will encourage others to help me and I hope it can assist someone else!!!!
