Hi guys,

I have been asked to do makeup for a very low budget film here in New Zealand but I don't have a kit. What I am wondering is what should I get to start out with that I can build on as I get better. It's hard to know where to start! 

Thanks!

I don't know what brands are there so I'll just name the products
Foundations
A concealer pallete( assuming you're working with multiple ppl)
A big eye shadow pallete
Eyeliners
Mascara( and some disposable spully things)
A few shades of blush
Tones of lip colors
And maybe some lashes

Good luck! Xx

You need foundation and concealer palettes, you get many shades, but they take up less space then bottles! One good face primer and one good eye primer. One good setting powder! A few shadow palettes, one regular and one water proof mascara and yes disposable applicators. Probably 2 bronzers, one for bronzing and one for contouring (that one should be matte). A blush palette, or at least a few different neutral shades. You need a lip balm, plus a clear and neutral lip gloss, and probably at least 5 shades of lipstick.
A brush set, probably with multiples of each brush! You need some way to sanitize your makeup and brushes.

I mean this is like bare minimum, I can't imagine having to buy your whole kit in one sitting! Wish I could be of more help. Maybe you could tell us what stores you have and can order from.
