Tools of the Trade: Part 2

The Essential Tools & Consumables

Let's start off with all the little things that we never knew we needed until they're not there. These are the essential makeup tools and consumables. Most ladies should have these around the house, even if they're not a budding makeup artist (MUA).

The Academy of Makeup (AOM) does provide an Essential Toolkit ($49) consisting of:
  • Makeup palette & mixing spatula
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Eyelash curler
  • 1pk block of sponges
  • 1pk of mascara wands
  • Duo eyelash glue

Personally, fifty bucks is pricey for items that will just get used up. I sourced most of these from eBay for a couple of dollars each and figured better quality ones can be purchased once I'm out of the 'introduction' stage of the course.

AOM also advised to have the following before course commencement:
  • Black mascara and disposable mascara wands
  • Individual & bar false lashes
  • Black & brown eyeliner pencil
  • Tissues, Wet Ones, hand sanitizer, hand towels
  • Makeup remover pads/wipes
  • Cotton buds (Q-tips)
  • Tweezers, scissors
  • Brush cleaner
  • Moisturiser, primer
  • Headband/Sectioning Clips
  • Protective (salon) cape

Again, these should either be already in your bathroom through everyday use or easily found at your local supermarket.
