Fresh out the oven, part one of two! But you have to wait for the second part. Keepin’ it neutral this time around, in the video my right (left side of screen) eye doesn’t has as much Arena as my left eye. Didn’t really notice it until I was editing, but what can you do? Photos and product list after the jump.

I’m asked at least 4 times minimum a week, “what products do you think I need to start a freelance kit?” What everyone needs is different. You will build your kit around what kind of makeup you do, and you’ll see what products you use more or less of as you start getting more into it. With that said.. This list is just a rough example of products that can be used to start a basic freelance makeup kit using MAC products.  Everything on this list will easily fit inside a MAC carry-all (11″ x 4″ x 6″) and a brush belt. Take into consideration that when everything is spread out on a list like this, it seems like a lot more than it really is. I also listed the finish (frost, matte, etc) and a breakdown of the color for everything on the list to help for those who are on more of a strict budget. If you can’t afford the products on the list, at least there is a little help on the color so you can find an alternative with any other cosmetic line. Hopefully this helps some of you!!

Gluttony, gluttony, gluttony.

Usually gluttony is shown as being gross, sloppy, and a pig. Instead of going gross, I’m keeping it classic and doing a bold lip instead. Big isn’t always gross, it can also be beautiful!
Inspired by a traditional pin-up, (think classic Vargas Girl meets modern Banker Chic) you can wear this look with a nude lip, & no wing on the liner for your day to day activities. After work throw on a bolder colored lipstick/gloss, add more to the liner and you’re set to party all night!
