For the powder jar, I dump the powder on a clean piece of paper with the fold line. Then, I can pick up the paper and let it fold along the line, so the powder will fall into the jar by the folded line. This works like a funnel! :)
Omg I was depotting some lipsticks earlier and I wish I had seen this before I did that because I was trying to smush them together inside my little squares and I accidentally turned my entire hand hot pink from the mess 😂 doing that part on the metal palette makes WAY more sense. Well, now I know for when I finish that up tomorrow! Thank you for this ❤
Haha it's tricky depotting sometimes, but at least you found an easier way now! I did the same thing as you're doing and found another makeup artist who depotted things on RU-vid when I started freelancing. Gave me a lot of tips I still impliment!
@Julie Ruby for the concealers/foundations try using a Pipette Dropper or a Graduated Dropper Pipettes this is what they use in labs to put oil/cultures in test tubes or small trays.
With the too face concealer, there minis are available (well I know they’re sold here in australia) there are only 3 shades - the lightest one, a med and dark, but I find it’s enough range to mix the colour you need!
I’ve been trying to find a syringe but I can’t find one that is thin enough to go into the bottles but still strong enough to pull it out. It’s really thick!
Hi Julie, will you be touching on consulting with your clients? Like maybe your tone, your setup, any other tips and tricks that beginners may not know. I purchased your client contract a while ago so I am just wondering about that. ☺️
Yes I did a video a while back on this, but definitely can do an updated one! Also, thanks SO MUCH for purchasing the contract :) I hope it's been super helpful!
I have a question for you. I saw online that people were saying that when you repress powders that it compromises the texture and fall out as well as performance. Have you noticed that?
I’m not really sure! I always refill them as a makeup artist so I haven’t specifically kept track. I guess it would depend how much lipstick you put on on the daily/touch ups etc. I would say it would probably last a couple weeks at least.
If I recall well, you carried an array of CT pressed powders in your kit at some point. Do you still like those? Or are loose powders better for everything?
Yes you have a great memory! Wow! That hasn't been since my first kit on here. I prefer loose powders because they tend to lock in makeup a little better than loose. Just a personal preference :) The only pressed powders I carry are the Kett Foundation Powders.
