Even though I wasn't able to show the physical products in this video, hopefully it still gave those that are just starting off as a makeup artist and building their kit some good starter products! :) There was many more products I could've put in the video so if you'd like a part 2 just let me know!!
@@julierubywatched this today as I am wanting to start my freelancing career here in NZ. Everything is getting expensive but we all gotta start somewhere right? This was really helpful. Thank you. ✨
I wouldn't be able to give you exact shade names since I've only worked with a handful of foundations and each has their own number system. As I mentioned in the video, it's best to start off with 4-6 foundations as you are just starting out. I would make sure the get the lightest foundation in the range you pick and the darkest. The shades in between should be a mix of yellow-toned and pink-toned so you can mix them to create custom shades :) Is there any additional questions you have?
nyx cant stop wont stop p[owder foundation is a good dupe for the MAC studio fix powder, also the nyx no filter powder is a spot-on dupe for mac nsf natural, also for dark skin stones i recommend checking out black girl beauty supply stores, they always have a big stock of LA girl makeup and black opal (which is amazing for tan dark skin tones, perfect for contouring too)
Thanks so much for those product recommendations!! I've always wanted to try out the Black Opal stick foundations! I've heard great things about them :)
@@julieruby yeah it’s amazing! Sam Fine legendary Mua from the 90s who’s a regular makeup artist for many black celebrities formulated the colors for the black opal foundation sticks
Just ordered the Mac foundation palette, and I plan on getting some maybelline fit me matte. If I wanted to mattify my cream products could I just use more powders/matte setting spray and primer?
It varies depending on where you live so you may have to do your research on this. I know that in the US this is governed by the State Board of Cosmetology.
That milani eye primer really is soo good ! I am so glad Milani is more readily available in Canada now. Your logic for not carrying liquid lipstick makes sense but if you personally would like a liquid lip for yourself that is not dry and uncomfortable the physician formula ones are very nice and the lise Watier (now avaialble online at sephora) basier velour ones are soo comfortable also lise watier portfolio concealer and corrector wheels are a great product for makeup artists worth a try.
Yes it is such a great eye primer!! I've never tried the Physicians Formula or Lise Watier ones, but I'll definitely have to check those out :) Thank you for those recommendations!
Anything that is a cream you have to depot onto a palette :)If you dipped from the pot directly you unfortunately can’t use it on others now. I recently did a sanitation video. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/PB7dFQ3G73g/v-deo.html
The most helpful video for the MUA beginners~ Thank you Julie~ Would be interesting to know about MUA discount for each brand? I want to build up my kit, but I don’t have discount until finish the make up school, should I save some great (expensive) products until I have the MUA discount?
Hi Yuchen! I’m glad you got some great ideas for more affordable makeup items :) I personally don’t know about each brands pro discount or if they have one. However, you can just got online and look up the brand plus the words “pro discount” and it should come up with their requirements if they have one :) some may not though!
Mixing pigments to match a client's skin tone better if you don't have their exact shade is so handy, NYX and LA GIRL both have them and get which one works for you better/budget. This video is so good for an upcoming freelance artist like myself and others without breaking the bank
Definitely! I almost mentioned foundation mixers in here as well but I wanted to make it as beginner friendly as possible in case ppl didn’t go into color theory quite yet :) debating on making a part 2!
Thanks for sharing! I would also like to add Colour Pop has amazing lip liners and eyeshadow palettes. I use their liners almost on all my clients because their formula and colors are on point.
Thank you for those recommendations Jazzica! I will definitely have to make a part 2 because this video was about to be SUPER long if I kept going lol Colourpop does have amazing eyeshadow palettes. I've never tried their lip liners before! I know their super shock line is amazing as well :)
Thank you so much for this! 😍 I have a passion in applying makeup to myself and to other people. 😊 I am really happy when I do makeup. 🥰 I am full time nurse but I love makeup! 🙈 My friends are telling me to go and start myself as a freelance MUA 🙈🙈🙈
I’m glad this helped! Go for your dream girl! My original career path was FAR from where I am now and switching completely was literally such a game changer :)
@@julieruby Yes this helped me so much! ☺️😃 Really? I am happy for you that you are a full time bridal MUA now! ❤️ I’ll think about it and build my own makeup kit 🥰
Thank you sooo much for all this information it definitely helps a lot when we are wondering what products to get to start and it’s hard to get everything at once that is expensive. Thank you!!!
Yes, everything definitely can add up quickly! Palettes are going to be your best friend in terms of value, but definitely LA Girl, ELF, Maybelline, and Wet N Wild have the most inexpensive products for the quality.
I love this! a lot of these are staples in my kit and in my everyday makeup routine!! I definitely have been upgrading as I progress but drugstore stuff will always be my fave😍
Hello Julie. Does the nyx primer go on white or clear? I'm looking for an inexpensive but good white eye primer. And I would love to see a part 2 of this video!!
@@julieruby I understand..you definitely want to provide info which will be useful for all people. I specifically asked for a good white eye primer because I like to use a lot of bold, bright colours on the eyes and a white base helps some colours stand out..I have been looking at the Nars white but its $26 and I don't even know if I will like it. That is why I was looking for an inexpensive version to try first. Thank you for all the info you have provided!!
Thank you sooo much for all this information it definitely helps a lot when we are wondering what products to get to start and it’s hard to get everything at once that is expensive. Thank you!!!
I'm tried some of that products and I can tell the NYX eye primer is not beginner-friendly is too tacky if you don't work properly you lift the product, I prefer Juvias vs Morphe, and the setting spray from NYX I don't know is me but the smell is too strong
All makeup is definitely a personal preference so thank you for sharing your experiences! I’ve only used some of these products on myself and enjoyed them but to some they may be harder to work with I guess. Just wanted to have more budget friendly options/dupes for my favorite high end products :)
HI Jackie! I'm actually making an updated video on this topic for next week's video :) I made 2 other videos on this in the past if you want to check those out until then. Go to my channel and check out my "Business for Makeup Artist" Playlist!
Thanks so much!! I'm definitely going to have to make a part 2 because there's so many other great affordable options I couldn't fit into this video :)
I haven’t even watched this yet but THANK YOU. I’m just getting out of cosmetology school with a Peter good reputation with bridal hair, but I want to do makeup to and have no idea where to start 😭
That's amazing! Congrats :) Yes, it's definitely pretty overwhelming to start as a makeup artist, but my best advice would be do what works for you personally! I spent years trying to "copy" others I eventually learned to adapt others styles and products, but make it my own!
You’re so welcome Molly! Glad you liked it :) To be honest, any of Charlotte Tilbury’s products are worth it to me! They come with a high price tag but I haven’t found any products from the range I haven’t liked.
The attention to detail in this video is flawless! Thank you for all of the wonderful suggestions! This is the first video that I’ve watched on your channel, and I feel as though I’ve learned so much! Thanks girl! ❤
Hi thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you loved the video :) Please consider subscribing if you haven't already! ALSO.. I have an important question... do you sell She Shacks? haha
@@julieruby Actually, we do! Haha! My husband owns a Container Company. They turn Conex shipping/storage containers into offices or tiny homes :). I use the name She Shack Services because we purchased a Uhaul size truck that was going to be my portable makeup truck! But then Covid…etc…so now I’m a “stay at home Mom” who still obsessed over makeup and makeup videos. You should consider selling your videos as courses! Your organizational skills are amazing!
@@sheshackservices9393 That's amazing! I've thought about building a she shed in my backyard for my studio actually lol that's such a cool business to be apart of!
Hi Nicci! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) I actually just finished filming a brush belt video that I should be posting in the upcoming weeks so stay tuned for that!
You have to apply for it on each cosmetic retailers websites :) If you just type into google (ex"Camera Ready Cosmetics Pro Program") a page will come up with a list of requirements. Each retailer is different but they'll at least ask for 2 proofs of documentation that prove you are a working artist.
Even though I wasn't able to show the physical products in this video, hopefully it still gave those that are just starting off as a makeup artist and building their kit some good starter products! :) There was many more products I could've put in the video so if you'd like a part 2 just let me know!!
Please upload 2 part thanks 😊
Exactly
I don't know if you already done a part 2, since i recently discovered your channel, but i would definitely love a second part !
Your videos are so helpful! I’m building my MUA kit & your videos have all the info I’ve been trying to put together from other videos
Aww I’m so glad to hear that thank you so much!!
Thank you so much, beautiful! In makeup school now and this was really informative ☺️
I’m so glad you found the video helpful! I’ve been meaning to do an updated one soon :)
This was so helpful to me as a young person trying to get into makeup artistry and I LOVEEE how organized this video was
I’m so glad to hear that Joselyn!!! I’m sure you’ll do great!!
If you haven't done this already, i would love you to update the list of beginner's kit☺ Thank you for the tips! Very useful!
To be honest I still stand by these products very much!! My updated list would probably still overlap a lot with this :)
@@julierubywatched this today as I am wanting to start my freelancing career here in NZ. Everything is getting expensive but we all gotta start somewhere right? This was really helpful. Thank you. ✨
Your makeup is sooo bomb!!! Every detail so glowy and natural but sill bold! Love this look on you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aww thanks so much girl!! :) I feel like I do the same look every day but I guess it’s working for me! 😂😂
Nice recommendations....just SLOW DOWN....
I used the master prime and hated it on myself
Yeah everyone is so different! That's why there's so many choices for everyone.
Would you please talk more about makeup foundation shades to start with TIA 🤍🙏

Hello thank you for this video I want ask you question ,the makeup artist they need cosmetology license ?
It varies depending on where you live so you may have to do your research on this. I know that in the US this is governed by the State Board of Cosmetology.

I'm guessing those NYX liners are no longer sold because I've looked on their website and it doesn't exist.
Yeah this video was made a few years ago and NYX always changes their products I feel like.
Abh eyebrow powders are not available anymore do you know of anything similiar to it?
Hi! I now use the Senna Brow book. I get mine off of Camera Ready Cosmetics :)
Thx ❤
Glad you liked the video!!
You are a jewel July, I love your videos like Angie Dibatista, so detailed and you dont hold back anything to help others. God bless you.
Thank you so much!! I’m really glad you’re liking them :) I love Angie’s videos as well. Too bad she stopped being active on her channel!
We wanna do makeup in our salon and my boss wanted me to get all the numbers and this helps soooo much thank you ❤
I’m so glad this video helped!!
Hi Julie. What blush/ highlighter are you using in the video?
Hi! I filmed this a few years back I believe so unfortunately I don't remember. I'm sorry!
Hi! Such an amazing video! I have a question. For the NYX Gel Liner, how would I sanitize it after using it on a client’s waterline?
Anything that is a cream you have to depot onto a palette :)If you dipped from the pot directly you unfortunately can’t use it on others now. I recently did a sanitation video. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/PB7dFQ3G73g/v-deo.html
elf blushes are amazing theyre only 3-4 dollars the primer blushes, the wet n wild highlights and maybelline powder highlighters are amazing~!!
Thanks!! I'll definitely have to make a part 2 to this video since this video was about to be 2 hours long if I kept talking lol
