If I Had to Rebuild My Makeup Kit
If I had to rebuild my professional makeup kit from scratch, this is exactly what I’d repurchase — no guessing, no filler. Every product listed below is something I actively use on real clients for weddings, events, and long glam days.
My approach is simple: performance first, skin-respecting formulas, and products that work across all skin tones, skin types, and comfort levels. This kit represents my philosophy — refined, intentional, and inclusive.

Why This Kit Works
Every product in this kit serves a purpose. I prioritize formulas that:
Perform on every skin tone
Photograph beautifully
Last through long wedding days
Feel lightweight and comfortable
These are the products I would, without a doubt, start with if I had to rebuild my professional kit from the ground up. They have earned their place through real wear on real clients, performing reliably through long wedding days, events, and high-pressure moments. If you are building or refining your own kit, consider this your vetted starting lineup—intentional, inclusive, and designed to make every face in your chair look and feel like their best self.
