Disposable items<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAs a makeup artist, you\u2019ll run into a number of different situations that will require you to remove, fix, and blend makeup. These techniques require tools, and a few different ones, at that! However, items such as Q-tips, cotton pads and foam sponges are totally disposable, which makes them a huge waste of money for makeup artists on a budget. Q-tips are useful when correcting or smudging a client\u2019s perfect winged eye, and cotton pads can quickly remove a blush color that a client isn\u2019t fond of, but there are ways to save money with both of these products, and we\u2019re going to share some tips to help you do so.\n<p><\/p>\nSwap your cotton or foam pads for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beautyblender.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">beauty blender<\/a>! This is a specially-designed sponge that, once wet, can apply foundation, tinted moisturizer, or cream blush to a client\u2019s face with an impeccable finish. It retails for around $20.00, and the best part? It\u2019s totally reusable, meaning that you won\u2019t need to go through countless disposable (and expensive) pads in order to apply and blend your client\u2019s makeup.\n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney1.jpg\" alt=\"become a makeup artist\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney1.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/06\/cleaning-makeup-tools-wrong\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Find out how to wash a beauty blender<\/a>, and all of your other tools, correctly! In terms of Q-tips, however, we recommend keeping some of those in your kit just in case, as you\u2019ll need them to smudge or correct a variety of looks. You can grab a box of Q-tips for less than $5.00, and they\u2019ll last a long time!\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Individual_makeup_products\"><\/span>2. Individual makeup products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThroughout your career in makeup, you\u2019ll work on many different skin types and tones. While it may seem logical to carry a number of different concealers, foundations, and blushes in your makeup kit to suit every client and situation, it\u2019s just not feasible (or affordable). You\u2019ll throw your money away and also run out of space in a hurry!\n<p><\/p>\nWe recommend stocking your makeup kit with palettes rather than individual pieces. Eyeshadow, concealer, blush and lipstick are all available in palettes, providing you with a range of shades at a much better price. Imagine buying 12 shades of lipstick \u2013 this is a huge expense, and it won\u2019t be easy to cram them all into a kit that\u2019s already full of other products.\n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney2.jpg\" alt=\"online makeup courses\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney2.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\nBefore purchasing any makeup palette, however, do your research! Don\u2019t fall for the illusion that higher prices guarantee better quality, because this simply isn\u2019t true. You should be investing your money on affordably-priced brands that produce high-quality makeup, especially as you begin your career in makeup artistry. When it comes to palettes, spend some time researching the best ones for your price point, and make a list of what to purchase. Your wallet and makeup kit will thank you!\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Shimmer_blushes_and_powders\"><\/span>3. Shimmer blushes and powders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWe get it \u2013 you want to have products on hand that will take your clients\u2019 look from gorgeous to radiant, and give them a finishing touch to remember. However, you don\u2019t need to splurge on shimmery blushes or powders in addition to your current blush products to achieve an amazing glow. After applying a matte blush or powder, give your clients an added oomph with a perfecting powder such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beccacosmetics.com\/multi-tasking-perfecting-powder.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BECCA Cosmetics\u2019 Multi-Tasking Perfecting Powder<\/a>. This product will set your clients\u2019 makeup and provide a silky, natural finish that is equivalent to an overpriced blush. \n<p><\/p>\nIt\u2019s also the only product you need to achieve a finishing touch, so instead of adding two or three other expensive products to your makeup kit, you can depend on this powder. Priced at $34.00, it will definitely do the trick.\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_High-end_mascara\"><\/span>4. High-end mascara<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWe totally get how tempting it can be to spend a fortune on mascara. After all, you want to show your clients that you can create the full, dramatic lashes they desire! However, mascara can be ridiculously expensive, sometimes upwards of $200.00, and it\u2019s a very easy way to totally waste your money while building a makeup kit. \n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney3.jpg\" alt=\"QC Makeup Academy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney3.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/wastemoney3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\nThe good news is that there are many high-quality, affordable mascaras available in your local drugstore! Stock up on a few of these in some different colors (black and brown will suffice), and you\u2019ll be ready to create killer lashes for your client at a fraction of the cost.\n<p><\/p>\n<b>Pro Tip:<\/b> Use less mascara by lightly applying pressed powder on your lashes after the first coat. Then, apply a second layer of mascara. This will ultimately give your client a much fuller look (and will save you money)!\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_One_makeup_brush_at_a_time\"><\/span>5. One makeup brush at a time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYour makeup kit is more than just makeup products, but we\u2019re sure you knew that already! In order to create beautiful makeup looks, you\u2019ll need some quality brushes. As important as these are, they\u2019re unfortunately an easy way to blow your budget, especially when you buy them individually. Find out which brushes you absolutely need in your kit, such as a blush brush, powder brush, and foundation brush, and draw up a list.\n<p><\/p>\nThen, instead of purchasing these tools one at a time (ranging in price from about $15.00-$50.00), opt for a brush set instead.  This is an extremely cost-effective way to make sure you have high quality tools without spending an arm and a leg \u2013 and really, you shouldn\u2019t be splurging on brushes, with so many lovely brush sets on the market. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/tools-of-the-trade-brush-set-P379559?skuId=1508928&#038;icid2=products%20grid:p379559\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sephora\u2019s Tools of the Trade Brush Set<\/a>, which is priced at $74.00 and is excellent quality.\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"cta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_out_these_7_makeup_brands_that_are_totally_inexpensive_and_start_building_your_makeup_kit_today\"><\/span>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/09\/7-inexpensive-makeup-brands-makeup-artistry-kit\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">these 7 makeup brands that are totally inexpensive<\/a>, and start building your makeup kit today!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Discover which makeup items you shouldn&#8217;t be wasting your money on, and stock your makeup kit the right way!","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":29527,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,11],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[433],"class_list":{"0":"post-22921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-makeup-tips","8":"category-your-makeup-career"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Don\u2019t Waste Money on These Products for Your Makeup Artistry Kit - QC Makeup Academy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Don&#039;t waste your money on makeup products that are overpriced and single-use!
