okay here are a few and if u need more info contact me, i am a manager in mac and here are my yeams favs for our kits, tried and tested
1.face and body foundation/ great for natural long lasting bases
2. pro longlash mascara
3. croma cakes great for making your own base eye colour whatever just mix them
4 smoulder eye kohl, teddy eye kohl, fluidline in blacktrack and dipdown
it all depends rreally on whether u do more editorial work or bridal.
the list is endless so here is a few u should not buy as they are not great and all the artists agree on these
1 mac skincare... too harsh and not suitable for sensitive no matter what they claim
2 shadesticks...just use paintpots
3 slimshine lipstick..it last about 3 seconds
4 mac primer its just a placebo that people want to believe it works but its basicaaly gonna give u the same result if u use a moisturiser...if u want ur foundation to last longer set it with a mineralise powder it doesnt look like a powder on the skin.its virtually invisable but will make foundation stay on hours longer,Do any of you makeup artist use your MAC PRO CARD?
i pretty much have everything since ive been acquiring mine for awhile now
i love the new metallic line
it all depends on what you do most
i mostly do stage make up so it works for me
the one STAPLE that i love love love
is the foundation primer :)
Here's what I own as a MAC freelancer
I do my own jobs outside of MAC and use other products but..going just for MAC there is important things i believe everyone should have
here's a lil tip as well 100's usually face and body 200's eyes 300's lips so when you go into Mac and look at brushes you can tell by the number set what goes where
when I do 90% of my makeup I own over 40 diffrent brushes but I use these over and over on clients.. so here is the ess list
Brushes-
190- face and body great for concealer..
116- for setting powder..blush..once again a great face brush
223(my FAV brush)crease brush great for defining a nice curve and line
224(blending brush) after doing the crease this brush helps blend it into the other color of your choice
239 picks up color because of the less poofed hairs
275 has an slant angle also great for picking up color
217 also a blending brush but i use this to do nude looks a lot
266 eye liner brush good for adding eyeshadow where liquid liner skipped (love it)
311-318 are for lips I have both and with lip brushes you have to remove the lipstick from them using oil based removers
eyeshadows..
your choice i own a bunch I see a lot of woman go for matte finishes cause they say it takes off age.. as for girls loving the sparkle and dazzle... so getting eyeshadows in all colors and textures in your choice is what i would do.. build up a collection if you really wanna do makeup artist work
eyeliner
Black and brown
Liquid and fluid line
(you can use pigment as liner as well using a little bit of a mixing medium) so that works out great
Concealer
it is important to have colors for every skin type and age group... this will be the hardest so I suggest what i do is get 4 shades from lighter light medium dark... and mix the amounts together to get the exact skin tone... but if the person wants to buy a bottle (for a wedding.. etc) then they would have to be matched
concealer sticks are good for weddings cause they don't reflect the light so having them for wedding photos and wedding day is great
powders
like concealer you will need diffrent colors for diffrent skin tones..but you need this to set your makeup
mascara
water proof and non waterproof in black and brown
trainer case,sharpner,brush cleaner (those are a good thing to get)
face cleansers,removers etc..
wipes (are good for mess ups.. cant tell you how many people sneeze and i need to grab one)
skincare... is tricky as well your gonna need a little of something for everyone since we all have diffrent skin
for moisture
for oily
for combination
for dry
so getting atleast 1 product for each type is def a life saver it will make the make up look better when set
last but not least
Pencils (get a bit of colors for better selection for clients)
lips
once again like eyeshdow get a little bit of every color glosses..same thing
there is diffrent kinds but whats good with the mac pro card is you can build and just get what you can when you can
over 2 years i have built up 5 large trainer cases 2 just for wedding make overs
I hope this helps I have been an artist for 5 years .. mac freelancer for 1 year and its just collecting for your buisness.. you will attract more bee's with honey.. but the ess are based on what i started out with..everyone is diffrent so use your card and start filling up your trainer cases!
good luck
