Tool Time: Is Your Kit Stocked?
TOOL (1).png

As the new year approaches, now is a great time to take inventory of your kit. While you may have a preferred set of brushes and a go-to palette, you may be missing game-changing tools to make your job easier. Before you stock up for the holidays, take a look at some of our favorite picks below!


Brush belts or easels are a great way to make sure you can grab any brush quickly while on the job. Small, folding mirrors can be a life-saver on the go when working in cramped or less than ideal spaces, while makeup capes keep your clients clean and camera-ready.


Each product in the ATTN! Beauty Trio is made to fit easily in any kit and allows you to sanitize, remove, and improve your makeup with ease!


Disposables are necessary for every job—making for quick, sanitary applications without worrying about messy clean ups and cross contamination.


There’s a Vueset palette for any size or purpose. De-pot, store, and customize your own palettes, or salvage the last of your product in one of these easy-access containers.


Keep your clients flawless with these adorably small kit additions. Eve Pearl’s finger-sized puffs keep your applications perfect while you work. Tweeze out any stray hairs with these travel-friendly micro tweezers. Tiny spray bottles work to keep your sponges wet and ready to use.

Foundation Fridays!

You love foundation and we do too! The artists and instructors at Make Up First (enthusiastically) tried out dozens of different foundations to find the best ones on the market so you don’t have to. Check out our favorites below!

Cinema Secrets—Ultimate Foundation 5-in-1 Pro Palette

Cinema Secrets Ultimate Foundation Palettes are an industry favorite that provide expert-level customization to match any skin-tone with ease. Use to color correct, contour, and highlight for a perfect custom blend. The sheer-to-full coverage foundation provides a natural matte finish that’s water resistant and long-wearing. Comes in six universal shade ranges based on depth and undertone.


Danessa Myricks—Vision Cream Cover Palette Kit

The Vision Cream Cover Pro Palette is a 10 shade foundation/concealer kit that comes with it’s own 10+1 Flexi-Palette. This versatile collection allows you to match, blend, or customize your shades to any skin tone to create a smooth, even application on anyone. The compact and kit friendly flexi-palette allows you to customize and store your shades beforehand, and travel with them easily.


FACE atelier—Ultra Foundation Pro

FACE atelier’s Ultra Foundation Pro is a silicone-based emulsion foundation that floats on top of the skin, does not crease or flake, and lasts all day. Hydrating yet oil-free, Ultra Foundation Pro fills in tiny lines and pores to ensure a flawlessly smooth finish. With 12 different foundation shades (and 5 foundation adjusters), you can combine or adjust to create the perfect skin tone match every time.
