Here is what is in my Makeup Kit
Let’s start this post with what suitcase I use, I have a black and silver Zuca Flyer, I like it better than the Zuca Pro Artist Case a lot of artists have.
I just like the shape better, the Zuca flyer is not bigger than Zuca Pro Artist Case. It comes with the following:
- 1 Small Utility Pouch
- 4 Large Utility Pouches, with ID label
- 1 Matching protective cover
You could take it on an airplane as hand luggage, it will fit perfectly but having many liquids in there you can’t take it after all.
I really like my Zuca, it is very durable, I drag it everywhere, fully packed and heavy, I do need to replace a wheel tho (update: wheel replaced, working like a charm again).
That’s the good thing about Zuca, you can get all its parts separately.
However, a Zuca case is very expensive, when I started out 20 years ago I use a toolbox like this.
It worked really well, cause it’s heavy-duty too like the Zuca, I have found that regular suitcases are not strong enough, although I see artists using a regular travel suitcase, it’s up to you.
Besides the Zuca pouches, I also have two Transparent Multi-Purpose Bag S (Tall) from Tas Merah, I love those too, I don’t unpack them.
I place them directly on the table, that is what I love about them, I bought them because my foundations fit perfectly in there, here is what I have in them:
Tas Marah Multi-purpose bag S (tall):
This pouch fits my foundation, click HERE to read all about foundation for professionals. Read my post HERE where I tell you why you NEED MAC’s Waterweight.
MAC Studio Waterweigh:
NW15, NW20, NW25, NW30, NW35, NW43, NW45, NW50.
This is my all-time favorite foundation, of all the foundations I tried I always come back to this one.
Protects with SPF30, sheer to medium coverage in stay-true color, and has a hydrating formula, with 23 shades.
It’s so beautifully thin, I use it on every single person on the job.
MAC Studio Waterweigh:
My favorite foundation in the NC shades for cool undertones.
I have less of the NC’s because I work for TV mostly.
On-screen NC can look a bit pale in the lighter colors. Therefore we use NW’s more often.
When someone is very red for example after a day of sun I use an NC on them on screen.
MAC Studio fix fluid SPF15:
I bought 8 shades of this foundation because I saw it with a lot of colleagues and my agent has a stock for us in their office. It’s a go-to for a lot of artists.
It is shine-controlling, medium to full buildable coverage, SPF15, and 63 shades.
For me, this foundation is too thick, out of the 8 I bought I carry 4 in my makeup kit.
