Optional Makeup Items to Have in Your Kit as a Professional Makeup Artist

As a professional makeup artist, there are some optional items that you might want to consider adding to your makeup kit. These items can help you work more efficiently and provide a better experience for your clients. Here are some of the optional makeup items that I recommend having in your kit:

Airbrush kit

While having an airbrush kit is not necessary as a makeup artist, it was something I definitely included because a lot of brides (I was a wedding MUA) requested it. Airbrush makeup is great for creating an even, long-lasting look and perfect for events like weddings where you want your makeup to last all day. I did charge a premium to use airbrush makeup, and it doesn’t require practice to perfect it, but if you’re serious about your artistry and you find that clients request it, I definitely recommend getting one!

Eye Drops

Eye drops can be a lifesaver when you’re working on a client who has dry or irritated eyes. They can help to soothe and refresh the eyes, making it easier for your client to keep them open during the makeup application process. I always keep a bottle of eye drops in my kit, just in case.

The Complete 2024 Professional Makeup Kit List - EVERYTHING You Need! (33)

Makeup Chair

A makeup chair can make a big difference in the comfort of your clients during the makeup application process. A good makeup chair should be adjustable and have a comfortable seat and backrest. It should also be lightweight and easy to transport. I highly recommend investing in a good makeup chair if you plan to do a lot of on-location work.

Makeup Bib

A makeup bib can help to protect your client’s clothing from makeup stains and spills. It’s a simple item, but it can make a big difference in the overall experience for your client. I always keep a few makeup bibs in my kit, just in case.

Hair Clips

Hair clips can be a lifesaver when you’re working on a client who has long hair. They can help to keep the hair out of the way during the makeup application process, making it easier for you to work. I always keep a few hair clips in my kit, just in case.

The Complete 2024 Professional Makeup Kit List - EVERYTHING You Need! (36)

Business Cards

Business cards are a great way to promote your services and make it easy for clients to contact you. Make sure your business cards include your name, contact information, and a brief description of your services. I always carry a stack of business cards in my kit, just in case.

Some people like virtual business cards and some don’t, for those who don’t, I like to keep a few physical business cards in hand. They’re pretty inexpensive and if they can help you book a client, why not?

I like to order my business cards from Zazzle. They’re easy, have really cute templates, and deliver pretty quickly!

The Complete 2024 Professional Makeup Kit List - EVERYTHING You Need! (37)

Phone Charger

A phone charger can be a lifesaver when you’re working on location and your phone battery is running low. It’s important to be able to stay in touch with your clients and colleagues, so make sure you have a phone charger in your kit. I always keep a portable phone charger in my kit, just in case.

These optional makeup items can help you work more efficiently and provide a better experience for your clients. Consider adding them to your kit if you haven’t already.

As a professional makeup artist, keeping your makeup kit organized and easily accessible is essential. There are several options to choose from when it comes to organizing and storing your makeup kit. Here are some of the most popular options:

Makeup Tote

A makeup tote is a great option for those who need to transport their makeup kit frequently. It’s a convenient way to keep all your makeup in one place and easily accessible. Look for a tote with compartments and pockets to keep everything organized. You can also find totes with adjustable dividers to customize the space according to your needs.

Maintaining Sanitation as a Professional Makeup Artist

As a professional makeup artist, maintaining proper sanitation is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of your clients. Here are some essential items that I always have in my makeup kit to maintain sanitation:

Disposable Applicators

Using disposable applicators is a great way to prevent cross-contamination between clients. I always make sure to have a variety of disposable applicators in my kit, such as mascara wands, lip brushes, and disposable sponges. It is important to use a new applicator for each client and dispose of them properly after use.

The Complete 2024 Professional Makeup Kit List - EVERYTHING You Need! (43)

Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is a must-have item in any makeup kit. I always carry a travel-sized bottle of hand sanitizer with me and use it before and after each client. It is important to make sure that the hand sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol to effectively kill germs and bacteria.

The Complete 2024 Professional Makeup Kit List - EVERYTHING You Need! (44)

Alcohol

Alcohol is another essential item for maintaining sanitation in your makeup kit. I use 70% isopropyl alcohol to sanitize my makeup products and tools after each use. It is important to use a clean cloth or paper towel to apply the alcohol and let it dry completely before using the product again.

The Complete 2024 Professional Makeup Kit List - EVERYTHING You Need! (45)

Face Mask

Wearing a face mask is an important step in preventing the spread of germs and bacteria. I always wear a face mask when working with clients and make sure to have extra masks in my kit in case a client forgets to bring their own. It is important to dispose of the mask properly after each use and wash your hands before and after handling it.

Maintaining proper sanitation is crucial for any professional makeup artist. By using disposable applicators, hand sanitizer, alcohol, and a face mask, you can help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria and ensure the safety and well-being of your clients.

Makeup palettes I love & recommend

When it comes to being a makeup artist, more is not always best, especially when you have to climb up four flights of steps for a wedding gig, and there’s no elevator in sight (true story), so I highly recommend investing in high-quality makeup that can be used several ways.

For example, instead of carrying around 100 different eyeshadows (ugh, very heavy!), invest in a few high-quality eyeshadows that can be mixed and matched to create other colors—quality triumphs quantity when it comes to your professional makeup kit.

As a makeup artist, I purchase a lot of kits, especially kits that allow me to mix shades to create the perfect shades for the many complexions and skin types I work with as a makeup artist.

Here are some kits and brands I LOVE!

Anastasia Beverly Hills – Brow Pro Palette

Eyebrows frame the face and it’s super important you’re able to match different hair colors. I love this eyebrow kit because it has every color you need (and if it doesn’t, you can mix to match it!). Additionally, this kit is super sleep and doesn’t take up much room.

Makeupforever Cream Contour and Highlight Palette

As a wedding makeup artist, most brides want that glow! I love this cream and highlight palette because you build the coverage of your highlight and it can be used all over the face and body. The only con is that it’s not great for deeper shades, so I do recommend having a dark gold shade in your kit for the melanized women!

Graftobian Super Palettes

I was TIRED of lugging around 67+ foundation bottles… only to still not be able to match colors, this super palette literally has every foundation shade you need. These palettes can be used for foundation, concealer, and even eyeshadow! Add some moisturizer, and it’s a bb cream! Plus, this palette comes with a lipstick kit as well. Another thing I like about these palettes is they’re sleek, not heavy but high-quality so you won’t have to fear these breaking out your client’s face!

Makeup forever12 Flash color case Multi-use Palette

What do makeup artists wear?

As a makeup artist, I know how important it is to dress appropriately for the job. Not only does it make me feel confident and professional, but it also sets the tone for how my clients perceive me. But what exactly do makeup artists wear?

When it comes to makeup artist attire, there are a few key factors to consider. First and foremost, practicality is key. As makeup artists, we work with a lot of products that can easily stain or ruin our clothing, so it’s important to wear something that can withstand the job. Additionally, we want to be comfortable and able to move around freely, as we may be standing for hours on end.

But practicality doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Many makeup artists have developed their own unique sense of fashion that reflects their personality and brand. Some opt for a classic, tailored look, while others prefer a more trendy, fashion-forward approach. Ultimately, the key is to find a balance between practicality and personal style that allows us to feel confident and comfortable while on the job.

On gigs, I personally wear some comfy flats and a black dress or black jumpsuit for comfort and professionalism. I live in Florida, so in the summer, I would sometimes opt for a light, loose denim dress, which is more comfortable and keeps me cool.

As a makeup artist, my attire is an essential part of my professional image. It is important to dress professionally and follow a dress code to show clients that I take my job seriously.

Makeup attire tips:

Professionalism is a crucial aspect of any job, and being a makeup artist is no exception. As a makeup artist, I represent both myself and the company I work for. Therefore, it is important to dress appropriately and maintain a professional appearance. Here are some tips on how to maintain professionalism as a makeup artist:

  • Wear clean and pressed clothing: It is important to wear clean and pressed clothing that is free of wrinkles and stains. This shows that I take pride in my appearance and pay attention to detail.
  • Avoid wearing revealing clothing: As a makeup artist, I should avoid wearing clothing that is too revealing. This includes low-cut tops, short skirts, and tight-fitting clothing.
  • Wear comfortable shoes: Since I spend a lot of time standing, it is important to wear comfortable shoes. Flats or low-heeled shoes are a good choice.
  • Wear black or neutral clothing: Black or neutral clothing is a safe choice for makeup artists. It creates a professional and sophisticated look and allows clients to focus on the makeup rather than the clothing.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry: Jewelry can be distracting and may get in the way while applying makeup. It is best to avoid wearing jewelry or keep it to a minimum. Opt for simple earrings but no bangles or necklaces, which can make noise.
  • Wear a smock or apron: A smock or apron is a great way to protect clothing from makeup stains and spills. It also adds a professional touch to my attire.

Tips on makeup artist etiquette:

As a makeup artist, it’s important to maintain a professional demeanor and adhere to proper etiquette when working with clients. Here are some key areas to focus on:

Communication

Clear and effective communication is essential in the makeup industry. As a makeup artist, I always make sure to communicate with my clients before, during, and after the appointment to ensure that their needs are met. I listen carefully to their preferences and concerns and provide them with honest feedback and advice. I also make sure to communicate any potential issues, such as allergies or skin sensitivities, to avoid any complications during the appointment.

Customer Service

Providing excellent customer service is crucial in the makeup industry. I always strive to make my clients feel comfortable and valued. I greet them warmly, provide them with a clean and comfortable workspace, and make sure to answer any questions they may have. I also make sure to follow up with them after the appointment to ensure that they are satisfied with the results.

Contracts

Contracts are an important aspect of any makeup business. I always make sure to have a contract in place before starting any work with a client. This contract outlines the services being provided, the payment terms, and any other important details. It’s important to have a clear and concise contract to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes.

Collecting Payment & Tips

Collecting payment and tips can be a sensitive issue. I always make sure to discuss payment terms with my clients before starting any work. I also make sure to provide them with multiple payment options, such as cash, credit card, or online payment. When it comes to tips, I never ask for them directly but make sure to provide excellent service and leave it up to the client’s discretion.

Overall, proper etiquette is essential in the makeup industry. By focusing on communication, customer service, contracts, and payment collection, I can provide a professional and enjoyable experience for my clients.
