This is *HANDS DOWN* the best what's in my kit video I've seen! Product-wise and organization-method wise. I fucking looooove how you thought to put those organizer trays inside the Zuca bags. I've never seen anyone else do that and boy have I seen some TRAGICALLY unorganized kits on RU-vid. I'm SO glad I watched this! I will definitely use this method in the future- can't believe I didn't think of that myself :P

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

+Stephen Bailey Hey! Omg thanks! That's so sweet. Honestly, like I said in the vid I change it SO much, i never seem to be satisfied lol. But ever since I put the little trays in there I have been loving it, I just wish Zuca (or someone) made inserts that fit perfectly because there seems to always be an awkward space where things get shuffled. Overall though, it was a good choice! I'm glad you enjoyed it & thank you again!! :) PS I can't stand the dirty unorganized kits either ha ha!

@FuriedHearts 8 лет назад

+Dallas Merkley -Do you take the Zuca bags inside the store with you? That way you can get an accurate fit and configure different inserts/combos together to get your best fit? That's what I would do.

@oliviarachelle9988 6 лет назад

How do you do the bold lettering?

@JRFields100 8 лет назад

A makeup kit video published in 2016!!!! Thank God!

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

+JRFields100 LOL right? ;)

@jkdavidson617 8 лет назад

You are so organized and clean! Probably one of the best mua kits I've seen!!! Thank you for sharing your tips!!

@hottierocks66 6 лет назад

Hahaha "when someone's shows up with makeup on, which I just LOVE" omfg actually laughed at that.. I'm a makeup artist too and totally feel the same when someone rocks up with old makeup on from the night before or the same day

@Valerienow 8 лет назад

Thank you SO much for this video! I love your sense of humour and how true you come across in your videos.

@annabellecooke892 8 лет назад

Love this video so much! I actually just did makeup for a friend's wedding recently and it's been making me think about being more serious about doing some freelance work. Your video has given me a little more of an idea on what direction I should go toward when organizing my own kit.

@ShereeLove07 8 лет назад

I have seen so many freelance kit videos and this is by far my favorite! Gave me so many organization tips and I love the idea of strapping the lights to the kit! Awesome kit and great video!

@TheWriteBeauty 7 лет назад

Loved this video so fun seeing what other people use in their kits. I've got to get the Mac brush belt looks great seeing how much fits in it.

@Makeupbysaveria 7 лет назад

Literally the best kit video I have ever seen! Also, thank you for being sanitary!!!

@destinyhoyos2829 8 лет назад

@LeaAnne94 8 лет назад

I love that little bag with the lip product. That's such a good idea!

@shannaf34 7 лет назад

I love the little takeaway lipstick bags you give! That's a great idea!

@MartiyAtun 7 лет назад

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! The best freelance kit I've ever seen!!! Need to upload more videos, please

@TLeeLavish 8 лет назад

First I'd like to thank you for touching base on how important it is to be sanitary, as you mentioned multiple times. I don't think people who are getting into makeup really know that sanitation is key! One of the best makeup kit 411 videos I've watched in a really long time!

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

+TLeeLavish Hey girl! Totally, it kills me!!! Sanitation is super important to me & should be for EVERYONE! I'm so glad I learned everything I needed to know about it in school. Saved me & none of my clients end up with infections! LOL I appreciate that so much, thank you!! :) xx

@PositivelyNice 8 лет назад

Yes! I have been binging on the latest makeup kit videos and many of them look unsanitary. Like, if I knew my MUA was like that, I will not book them. Dallas here is just amazing.

@BeFabulousMakeup 5 лет назад

Yes! Your makeup kit video is my favorite!!! I watch it over & over. It would be great to see a vlog where you take us to your studio for your work day💜

@haleyceleste26 8 лет назад

Loved this video!! So informative! Yes please do a video on what you keep in your hair kit and contracts! :)

@marcylovesmakeup 8 лет назад

Great ideas for products you should have in your kit. I quickly found myself jotting notes down for things I need to add in mine lol. I love the idea for the lipstick samples! I've been trying to think of ways to give my clients something to take with them to touch up their lips. All in all this would be my dream kit :P

@aradeebby 5 лет назад

Omg the lip sample you give with the baggie is genius!!!!

@kamilliakelley6102 8 лет назад

Loved this video! Thank you for the Container Store tip, I hadn't even thought of that! Also, seeing how much you have and what you have was ridiculously educational. Thanks girl :)

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

Can't wait! I recently started getting a makeup kit set up and you're video has helped me a lot.

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

+Ana Hernandez I'm so glad

@laurennnoire 8 лет назад

This video was so incredibly informative. I watch a ton of "What's in my kit" videos for inspiration, and yours if by far my favorite. I've been working as a bridal freelance makeup artist for five years now, and I LOVE how you organized everything in acrylic drawers. That is so genius! I was recently informed of those dropper bottles for foundation, and you just reminded me to make the switch.

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

+LaurennNoire- Hey girl! Wow thank you so much! As you know keeping an organized kit is awesome but soo much work since we're always adding new products & such. I'm glad you found it helpful though, go get some organizers for sure ;) thanks for watching! I subbed back!

Great video. The quality is also amazing! I love how you organize your zuca bag. That must make it absolutely a dream to work from directly. I'm a stickler about where things go when I am packing up my kit on jobs. People ask "can I help" and I'm like noooo. lol tfs! :-)

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

@applicationofbeauty9801 7 лет назад

So this is the first video I've ever seen from you and im in love. i noticed you haven't made a video in a while but aw you've been posting on Instagram which i was so excited about because i followed you on there. My biggest question is, im starting out as a freelance makeup artist, and im a cosmetologist as well, and my biggest thing is protecting myself as i turn this into a legit business and i saw your contracts and i was hoping to learn a lot more about how you went about doing them, what kinda thing you put to protect yourself, and just any details you can tell me would be so so appreciated!

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

Hey everyone! Please read the info above & let me know if you have any questions about anything I talked about in this video :) also don't forget to watch in HD! Xo

@fhksyoutube 8 лет назад

Dallas, thank you so much for this video! I just got into the make up industry 6 months ago and I want to start doing bridal work, so your kit has helped me get a better sense of how to organize my own kit. I stumbled onto your channel after searching for freelance makeup kit videos and I'm so glad I found yours! You're obviously passionate about your career and helping others, so I'm excited to see what else you'll do in this channel. I was hoping if you could go more in detail about your brush belt and also how you do weddings, like how far ahead of time you do the trials, what you include in your contract, the day's agenda :) definitely subscribing to your channel. ❤

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

Just came across your video last night and I absolutely love it!! Prob the best I've seen online!! I'm starting my freelance journey as well and you have some great tips!!!! I'm guessing the MAC Zuca along with the the drawers were purchased with the Mac Pro discount because I can't seem to find it anywhere!

@DallasMerkley 8 лет назад

+Vanessa Jones Hey girl! Thank you!!! So glad you enjoyed it. You can find it on the MAC website (I think), but I wasn't actually able to use my discount on it unfortunately :( but totally worth it!

@vanessaoropeza6696 8 лет назад

+Dallas Merkley I'm definitely saving up!! Looking forward to more videos!!

How do you get your shadows to stick without the inserts? (I use a magnetic sheet glued to the bottom but it isn't ideal for me). I'm just wondering what you did personally.
