Makeup Kit (With Bag)

Fashion shows are the most exciting part of being a makeup artist (especially during Fashion Week). It’s a working environment all about creativity, community, and collaboration, plus it allows artists to get a first look at upcoming trends and techniques. In my experience, as a key designer backstage at NYFW for over 17 seasons, what you keep in your kit is integral to being successful. So whether you’re the key or an assistant on the team, you want to be prepared for—and enjoy—every professional situation. The experience of being backstage as part of a team is a critical part of building your network and bringing your career to the next level. The ability to lead and design shows can help separate you from other artists. For non-pros, these tips can help you prepare for when you’re on the go or simply need to pare down your makeup stash. I typically share specific color products, but here, I’m focusing on the basic kit composition that’ll help get you through working backstage at a show.
