MAKEUP KIT STAPLES & MUST-HAVES

INSIGHT & TRUTH ABOUT POPULAR PRODUCTS TO BENEFIT YOU

MAKEUP KIT STAPLES & MUST-HAVES DESCRIPTION:

In this almost 2 hour training, Donna will discuss industry staple products and her favorite must-haves that artists should have in their kits for various types of work within the makeup industry. Donna’s must-have’s are all based on provable Scientific facts such as: Which formulations work best for various skin types, levels of dehydration, the ability to blend, wear-ability, quality, the ingredients that work best in photographs, or for HD work etc. Whereas many other educators and influencers simply share what works on themselves and even more commonly, push products for a commission check.

The information in this class is valuable for veteran artists that don’t have time to research or the budget to make costly kit investment mistakes, as well as greatly beneficial for newbies that haven’t started to spend money on a kit yet, but wish to avoid costly mistakes and streamline their success.


"WOW! That’s all I can say. This was beyond any expectation I could have ever had. Donna, your knowledge is BEYOND amazing and I learned so much from this video, you’ve inspired me and I cannot thank you enough!"

- LaToya Santos Meriden Connecticut

"Super informative webinar that is an investment in itself. This training is not just about what products you need but also about "The Why" and "For which field," So it covers all aspects of the makeup industry."

-Katherine Watts Chelsea, Australia

"Donna you are ‘AMAZEBALLS’ and I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE YOU. I have come to realise I have SO MUCH CRAP in my kit and can downsize it for sure. I will definitely be trying the products you have recommended. Thank you for your insight once again xx"

- Donna Lee Melbourne, Australia

I strongly recommend that you watch this webinar along with “POPULAR GIMMICK PRODUCTS TO AVOID!” if you wish to save your REPUTATION, TIME, MONEY, and SPACE in your already heavy-ass kit. This webinar is for the serious makeup artist wanting to build his/her kit with QUALITY products and who want a better understanding on why they are valuable must-haves.

As a Makeup Artist, specializing in Bridal, I was cringing at myself while watching this webinar because I unknowingly had spent so much darn money on products that are not good for flash photography and definitely not ideal for bridal and print work. Yikes! It is frustrating the lack of product knowledge training there is out there, which is why I was SO ELATED to have discovered Donna Mee! You can take comfort knowing that the research has already been done for you and any products that Donna recommends are scientifically proven to work! QUALITY PRODUCTS = quality photos = quality work = quality of LIFE! Hahaha. If you’re gonna be a sheep, at least follow the right Shepherd!

"I am so happy that I joined this webinar. It’s good to know, when you are looking for products, to consider things that you never even thought about before. It’s so hard to know what to look for sometimes, until it’s too late, you’re on set and they need something you don’t have – or perhaps you have something and it’s actually ruined the shot, because you’ve not played with it before. I do have a couple of the products, and I must say I have not looked back since having them, and I’m now looking forward to unpacking my kit and revisiting some unopened things, and maybe some things I haven’t used since the first time I pulled it out. It was also very helpful to have watched the Gimmicks webinar first too – these two paired together are awesome. Thank you!"

- Victoria Marie Noble Park, Australia

Cathrine Soloman Queens, New York

"Wonderfully informative class. It’s not Donna just giving her list of favorite products, but she explains the ‘Why’ as well so you can better understand your craft and why you'd purchase new products for your kit. Thank you again, for always sharing so much of your knowledge so generously!"

- Jen Ellis Perth, Australia

Another great hit!”

I learned a lot about new brands and what known brands currently carry that'll be an essential part of my kit. I took lots of notes and will refer back to them whenever I need a refresher. Thank you for letting us know how important it is for the skin to be prepped properly before the makeup application. I can't wait to see you go live in person at the next webinar. So excited!!”

“No matter how many classes I go to or how many Webinars of yours I watch I always learn something new from you. Loved this broadcast. And lots of lightbulb moments once again ”
— BRODEE KERNAGHAN
“I'd love to have a seat for the 1/3/18 live webinar, please. As always, Donna's webinar was informative and practical. She covered real products for skincare, foundation, lipstick, blush, contour and highlight, powder, etc. I was happy to know what I am using in my kit is the best and WHY. Also, I learned about new products I hadn't used or heard of before. I would have liked learn less about skincare and more about makeup products, including eyeliners and mascaras. Key takeaways for me, surprisingly, wasn't about products by general artistry: • Perfect your makeup skills--apply as if Photoshop didn't exist • Client psychology is key in your success • Pressed powder has oil in it, so if you have a choice to used loose or pressed, use loose”
— JANE
