It's important to have a variety, and a foundation for every skin type. MUFE HD foundations are great, and drug store foundations like Revlon colorstay are great. CoverFX has a lot of great products. You really just have to check things out. Also, having good primers will also make a difference for the foundations. I really love Smashbox's photo finish primer. You're also going to want to make sure you stock up on brush cleaner, disposable sponges, mascara applicators, lip gloss wands and stuff like that. Sanitation is really the most important thing to remember.

Thanxx I pretty much have everything except I need more pallets brushes and foudantions.

For brushes I tend to use crown just because they are inexpensive and you can get multiples of them to use. For foundation I personally like using airbrush on clients because you can mix colors to match them. The airbrush foundation I use is Obsessive Compulsive, but if you don't have a machine I suggest MUFE and Revlon (especially Revlon if you're on a budget).

manly, costal scents, ELF and NYX are all great affordable products to add to your kit! especially if are looking for brushes, lip colors, eye pallettes. stick to higher end primers to ensure that the products that you get from less expensive retailers last all day and have the same effect as high end products :] NYX has amazing lashes for those of you looking for theatrical supplies for photoshoots and natural looking lashes for a great value too! :]

Also wat would be a good alternative to urban decays primer potion. (Im on a budget.) I saw the travel size 1s n thought that would be good enough

I think the travel-size UDPPs come only in/with palettes.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance is supposed to be good and comes in a tube; it costs the same as UDPP in its original packaging. Palladio has a good one that's less expensive. However, it has a wand applicator. I think, for e/s primer, something that came in a tube would be more ideal; then you can squeeze out what you want and apply it on a client's eye with a brush as opposed to using a disposable wand. Splurge on TFSI.

Truemach by Loreal is quite good, and comes in a variety of shades, including cool and warm tones, and neutral, of course. I recommend that. But, don't forget, you don't need that many. You can just mix, right? Plus, don't forget concealer. 

I use Eve Pearl in my kit and as for as primer I would definately use a tube of udpp it is alot more sanitary then using a wand. Make sure you have disposable lip brushes spatulas and spoolies and also for brushes Sigma has great quality and reasonable prices
