New Makeup bag and kit organizing
You will have to hit me up when you are in LA, I will take you to the good stores. But It rally depends on the job that I am doing, if it is all guys, I usually will just empty out my clear case that holds my powders and put the bare minimum and I usually just end up fitting everything inside of my set bag. I just hate to be unprepared. I mean I did a lifestyle shoot and they wanted the guy to look older, with salt and pepper hair... that was the day I decided I will never leave home w/o my MUFE flash color palette. I had to touch it up throughout the day, but it worked. Aug 10 06 12:19 am Link Also, the plethora of product and the fact that I find it hard to pass up a "gift set" (because as MUAs we love smaller sizes and larger quantities) or a sale (I got all my lipfinity stuff for $3 each at the drugstore on sale!). I used to buy make-up excessively for myself. As soon as I got an excuse to buy stuff for everybody, that's when it really went to hell. Aug 10 06 12:22 am Link Aug 10 06 01:05 am Link To be honest, the stores have great stuff, but they are not that impressive. Just rows and rows of stuff. but you could easily just spend one day shopping. p.s., the pacific ocean is AWESOME.

It is a tall box with four removable 'drawers' which are clear boxes with completly custom dividers. So one is for foundations, one for eye 'stuff' one f/x makeup and one for lips. There is another compartment up top for my brush roll and 'sundries'. And if you need to, you can sit on it. Aug 10 06 06:12 pm Link rachelrose wrote: YOu got it.

I already told Sian that I would pick her up one next time I go up to LA (in a couple weeks) and ship it to her, if you cant find the quadpacks out there, I can do the same for you. Aug 10 06 07:07 pm Link Rachel, thanks. I will take you up on that offer. I will be in touch. Aug 11 06 09:54 am Link Lottie wrote: Thanks Lottie, will do!

I thought I had a lot of makeup. Lottie how long did it take to accumulate that much makeup? I need to step my game up !!! LOL Oct 06 06 10:00 am Link AlwaysMadeUp wrote: Can i tell you! Lugging around make up on the subway in NYC is definately an art, especially during rush hour. I have decided to transfer my make up from those metal boxes to a suitcase as well because the metal was just too heavy to lug up and down subway stairs. I must admit I've gotten a lot stronger since coming back to NYC after Los Angeles. Driving around sure does make the job easier.

These pics made my night. I had to lift my jaw off the floor. Right now I am using a takle box but it is sooooooooo heavy. I want to get something that rolls cause I already have a duffle bag for my hair stuff and that is on my shoulder all the time. I really gotta call and get that MUFE palette now. I always have problems mixing foundations to be darker. Now I know what to get!!! Thanks peeps Oct 07 06 10:00 pm Link Deadly Design Make-up wrote: Yeah I have my own studio!!
