KIT = the goodies that a hair or makeup artist lugs with them on jobs. You can recognize an artist's kit easily- it's the huge roller luggage they're dragging behind them at all times. Shell to a snail is a kit to a hair or makeup professional.
The stuff in an artist's kit are unique to them; it has been tweaked to their own specifications after years of testing and playing with tools and products. In this portion of the blog I will profile the kits of the industry's top artists to see what makes their kit tick.
Makeup artist Tamah K has worked with industry legend Sonia Kashuk, consulting on product development and doing makeup for packaging and Sonia Kashuk Target advertising. Tamah is an incredible talented makeup artist overall, but I would say her biggest strength would have to be the ability to create flawless skin.
Let's take a peek at some of the goodies that Tamah keeps on hand at all times....
1. crealine cleanser "Absolutely the BEST cleanser, makeup remover ever"
2. Weleda Calendula Baby Cream
3. Tweezer Man tweezers in assorted sizes. Every makeup artist really should have a good tweezer handy, groomed eyebrows are really important and often overlooked. Nothing ruins a photo faster than a model that has flawless makeup but out of control eyebrows.
4. Shu Uemura Deep Sea Water in Sage "Great scent, calming and an amazing refresher."
5. Q-tips "...in all shapes and sizes. A makeup artists best friend!"
6. Makeup Forever grease paint box "Literally can not leave home with out it."
7. Laura Mercier secret camoflage "The best consistency for even coverage."
8. Ponds exfoliating makeup remover wipes "Just my personal fave, love the weight of them."
9. Jao Hand Sanitizer "It has lavender extract in it so it actually smells really good!"
10. LARA bars "For instant energy on long shoot days."
