THE ANNUAL FREELANCE KIT VIDEO IS HERE!!! Thank you all so much for tuning in :) I know it's been a minute since I've uploaded dedicated makeup artist content, so thank you all for the continued support! All the products mentioned are in the description. Because I am limited to a certain amount of characters, I couldn't link every product.

[melissacabrera]

Thank you so much for being so transparent!! ❤
I'm still fairly new to the beauty industry, and I definitely have noticed that not many artists want to show what they have in their kit. 😢

[DilvenS]

Honestly the highlight of my week. I can't wait to get off work so I can watch this! 🥰

[stupido]

Thank you very much for such an informative video with a lot of useful information. You are so GREAT that you even left all the links to every item. All the best to you!

These kit videos are how I found you a few years ago! Always happy to watch them ❤ I definitely want to try the clear palettes and I need a cool brush holder like this that I can use as a makeshift trash can 😂 wanna know some weird stuff my makeup class says? They’re like insisting we ONLY use cinema secrets for brush cleaning and I’m like … but that’s just spot cleaning right? You still need to properly wash the brushes! And then we’re using 99% alcohol in class but I’m so confused because I always thought if it was higher than 70%, it would evaporate too quickly to thoroughly sanitize the powder products!! I still wash my brushes with normal brush cleaner and let them fully dry, and use 70% alcohol when I get home, but I’m just like what are they teaching us lol. And then we’re REQUIRED to do face first in our exams and it’s been driving me insane because fixing the fallout is beyond annoying! Plus they didn’t give us a gel liner, just a shitty cake liner and it makes me so mad because that’s 5 mins extra of my time I’m using to try and get the right consistency and it transfers no matter what I do! I’m almost done class though and once I’m a certified MUA I can use what I want thankfully, just hanging in there for now 😂 the inglot gel liner is my fave so I can’t wait to use that on people again! we just wrapped up bridal and I passed both my written and practical! our last week is airbrushing! So nervous for that lol. We start tomorrow. Can’t wait to try that though!

I will be coming back to your channel any time I need to buy any of your recs, for example I will be needing new foundations ASAP. I cannot stand the stuff they gave us, it’s not acne safe and I’m breaking out so badly from having it put on my face for the last three weeks straight. The powders make me so itchy and I’m definitely experiencing some contact dermatitis from these “professional” products 🙄 I mean they are actually professional (the brand is MUD) but I don’t plan to use anything except the brow pomades we got lmao. Like what how am I supposed to put makeup on a bride that is just going to make her skin itchy and potentially cause her to break out?? Plus the cream foundations look horrible no matter what you do to prep. It’s just not it. I’d so much rather learn from a real makeup artist like you and hear what your tried and trues are, than go off the curriculum from a weird outdated company that encourages us to use A SPOON to curl peoples lashes. Yes, a metal spoon you would use for eating!!! Imagine being a bride and coming for your trial and having your MUA insist using a SPOON instead of a lash curler 😭 absolutely not. Like what are they on! They also gave us latex sponges… like noooo. Thankfully I had the CVS jumbos you’ve recommended in the past on hand too because one of my models had a latex allergy!

I have my first wedding next year and doing the bride’s engagement photos on Thursday- beyond excited! Thank you for everything, your content over the years has truly helped me so much in my makeup artistry journey ❤

Have a great day Julie ❤❤❤

Just found your channel! Thanks for sharing, I really want to start working for myself, but I am so afraid of not being good enough so I always go and work for somebody else making the minimum, I needed some motivation thanks for that.
