Great list of products!

I know I have a few others, but my mind has gone blank, lol😁
Hello! Im starting an internship as a makeup artist on national television this May. My school didn't do that good of a job teaching us about tv makeup. Could you do some basic tutorials on TV make-up? Some tips would really help 🥰
Hi Shannon, some other things i bring on set are spoolis, qtips , hair ties, bobby pins, hairspray, a sewing kit and powder puffs.🤗 Ps:I totally need to improve my beard trimming skills 😂🤦 tank you so much for the tips ♥️
Ooo Jaimy, that is such a great question. I’ll make a video answering it. I’d say the most valuable products are ones that can be used in many ways. Palettes with a range of skin tones, cream blushes that can also be lip colors. A clear gloss that can make any lipstick glossy etc. 😊
Shannon!!! I somehow stumbled upon your channel and I am SO grateful! You have so much knowledge that I love to hear!! I recently changed my career from performing/teaching to makeup artistry with the hope one day I can do what you are doing! So thank you!!!
Wow! This was extremely helpful. I love the channel and I appreciate you sharing some real life hacks as a mua. It's a lot of trial and error while trying to work your way up.
Hi Shannon! Thanks for all of the helpful tips, I've been binge watching for a while now 😂 What are you go to products for brows and do you take a portable light with you in case the lighting for your set up sucks? If so, which one would you recommend?
Hey Julianne! Thanks for watching, that’s awesome! 😊😊 I have the Senna Brow Powder Palette and most Shade’s of the Anastasia Brow Wiz. I also love the Anastasia Dip Brow Gel and the triangle brow pencils from Hourglass in the shades Platinum Blonde and Natural Black!! Oh man, I invested in The Makeup Light like 5 years ago and haven’t looked back 😳😳😳 it’s helped me be a better artist. I will say you can buy a lot of the accessories from camera stores, but the light itself is perfection! ❤️
Found this video so helpful thankyou, Can you make a video on getting started/how to start and the education needed if that’s possible? Thank you, i’ve subbed❤️
You are so refreshing and easy to listen to. To say nothing of the knowledgeyou are providing! I could listen to you all day! Thank you for all your help and support.
hi i’m 16 and currently doing my level 2 of hair and makeup and will be doing level 3 in september and my dream is to have a job like yours and i have no idea how i’d know all these things and so worried that i’d seen very unprofessional if i don’t know something i should know, how did you learn to know what to bring and remember and how you got into this career? I live in the UK and my dream is to live in LA but i just have no idea how to get to that successful stage (if you know what i mean), i love your videos btw!!
Hi Jocy!! That’s awesome, it’s nice to meet you!! 😊 Yay, it’s such a fun career!! Don’t worry about knowing everything, I still don’t! I assist a lot of make-up artists who have taught me so much throughout the years and I still learn something from single job I do! Don’t be intimidated to reach out to other makeup artists and ask questions! I went to makeup school and learned a lot there, but honestly you’ll pick up a ton when you’re on the job! Feel free to reach out to me anytime 😊
Hey Nicole! I’m actually working on a video about this right now, you can do it a few different ways. Having a portfolio is going to better position you for an assisting job, but there are other ways. Some makeup artists will do an unpaid internship or allow you to shadow them depending on what field they work in. Typically a relationship like this starts on the phone. Find Makeup artists in your area and ask them for a 15 minute informational interview. Prepare your questions in advance and start to build the relationship 😊

What would you say is the bare minimum of items to have in your MU kit on set if you are starting out?/What items are the most important ones to have?
Ooo Jaimy, that is such a great question. I’ll make a video answering it. I’d say the most valuable products are ones that can be used in many ways. Palettes with a range of skin tones, cream blushes that can also be lip colors. A clear gloss that can make any lipstick glossy etc. 😊
