Know Your Game Plan<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]This is a logical place to start. It\u2019s important for you to go into your career with a clear understanding of what you want to offer clients. For instance, do you have a specific area of makeup artistry that you wish to focus on (such as bridal<\/a>, SFX<\/a>, editorial<\/a>, etc.)? Do you know who your target clientele is?\n\nKnowing the services you plan to provide will have a direct impact on the type of makeup artist kit you\u2019ll need to put together.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>2. Focus on the Fundamentals<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]From Google ads and social media influencers, to everything in-between, we\u2019re constantly being shown the latest, hottest cosmetics that we supposedly \u2018need\u2019 to have in your makeup artist kit. But the truth is, most of these products aren\u2019t necessary<\/a>. They\u2019ll simply take up valuable room in your makeup kit and burn an unneeded hole in your wallet.\n\nIf you\u2019re building your professional makeup kit on a budget, remember to stick to the fundamental tools and products you\u2019ll actually <\/em>need. While these fundamentals may change, depending on who you ask, in our opinion, the must-have items for your kit should include:\n\n \tA set of brushes<\/li>\n \tA beauty blender<\/li>\n \tPrimer<\/li>\n \tFoundation (both liquid and powder)<\/li>\n \tConcealer<\/li>\n \tBronzer and highlighter<\/li>\n \tA brow pencil<\/li>\n \tBlush<\/li>\n \tLiquid eyeliner<\/li>\n \tMascara<\/li>\n \tOne eyeshadow palette<\/li>\n \tLipstick and lip gloss<\/li>\n \tSetting spray<\/li>\n \tFalse lashes and lash glue<\/li>\n \tA travel-friendly case<\/a><\/li>\n \tHand sanitizer<\/li>\n \tFace masks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOf course, you can absolutely add <\/em>to this list as your career grows and you have more funds to do so. But when first starting out, you can still put together a solid makeup artist kit with these products alone.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”44646″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>3. Invest in Multipurpose Products<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Not all makeup can be used for more than its intended purpose, but a lot of products can <\/em>be<\/a>. Shop around and research into cosmetics that are multifunctional. Brushes, for example, can be used to apply product to all sorts of different areas of the face. Similarly, plenty of lip colors can be used as blush, and certain eyeshadow colors can easily double as a highlighter.\n\nThe key is to know how to creatively use these products correctly. <\/em>Proper training will teach you how to do exactly that. Once you know how to effectively adapt a makeup product<\/a> in such a way, you can cut down on your spending by stocking your makeup artist kit with items that specifically serve dual (or more) purposes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>4. Remember: Quality over Quantity<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Buying a million brushes is basically throwing money to the wind if they\u2019re not all of economical quality. Sure, it can seem <\/em>like a good budgeting option to purchase a cheap kit of 30+ brushes. But if they\u2019re constantly shedding and can\u2019t hold products well, you\u2019re just going to wind up buying more brushes before you know it.\n\nThe same can be said for massive contour and\/or eyeshadow pallets<\/a>. While you might be inclined to spend little money for a large array of different colors and selections, this could be a poor choice. Cheap eye and face palettes can often mean low-grade ingredients. This makes for a lousy product that falls apart easily, doesn\u2019t apply well, or is generally unhealthy for your client\u2019s skin.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][image_with_animation image_url=”44647″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]While it\u2019s always cost-effective to buy in bulk (i.e. buying pallets versus individual products), all we\u2019re saying is to choose your products carefully. Sometimes, \u2018buying in bulk\u2019 means investing in one <\/em>reputable set of brushes, one <\/em>reliable eyeshadow palette of 10 or less colors, etc.\n\nOften, that\u2019ll be all you\u2019ll actually need![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>5. Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Shop at the Drugstore<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]There is absolutely nothing wrong with starting your makeup artist kit with a few drugstore brands in the mix. In the beginning, you\u2019re going to be focusing on gaining experience and refining your skills. While continuing your hands-on practice shouldn\u2019t be done with terrible <\/em>products, it also doesn\u2019t require the most expensive products either.\n\nFact is, there are tons of drugstore brands that work just as well (or nearly as well) as their pricier counterparts. What truly matters is the performance <\/em>of that product.\n\nSo, do your research! Read what others have to say, and see what sort of cheaper brands offer cosmetics that perform excellently. At the same time, avoid unnecessary spending by researching into the types of makeup and skincare products you shouldn\u2019t <\/em>be cutting costs for<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”44648″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]At the end of the day, you can build your makeup artist kit in a way that\u2019s both cost-effective and <\/em>quality-focused. This should be your top priority. Take the time to research into your options, never rush into any decisions, and always invest your money into smart products.\n\nSo long as you do that, your professional makeup kit will serve you well as you build a solid, reputable career![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nFun Fact: QC Makeup Academy students & grads have access to awesome discounts from MAJOR makeup brands, such as MAC and Urban Decay.
