MAKEUP NEEDS - click on the button for very specific links and details for OLIVER Container - something to keep it in and transport your equipment. If this is something you plan on doing again, it is worth the investment in a caboodle or a train case. Even a tupper ware container can work. A simple Ziploc bag will work. The makeup can break if jarred too much so a hard case is a better choice. Label everything!!!
Deodorant!! Tissues, cotton balls, q-tips Baby wipes - great for getting off makeup Vasoline - great for getting tough makeup off facial cleanser - your choice- cold cream works amazingly well bobby pins - can never have enough Hairspray brushes of all shapes and sizes - look for packages than have a variety - acrylic brushes are easiest to wash and keep clean Mehron star blend or Ben Nye makeup mascara lip liner pencil fake eye lashes/ eye lash glue (all HS students who ONLY play adults) powder puff applicator colorset powder |
