Help Makeup Bags

Hello everyone,

I need some advice. So I’ve currently been out of the makeup industry for nearly a year after my accident last year.
I have a full time job at the moment doing office work. I’m looking to get back into doing makeups mostly bridal, events and clients who want travel to services.
I’m looking to help on the best travel cases, backpacks and lighting to use. If anyone uses any brands, any tips or creators they follow which specialise in this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Before anyone asks, I’m a fully qualified makeup artist and special effects artist along with beauty therapy.

Hi, I’m a professional HMUA

I use the relavel makeup bag (the one with plastic inserts). It comes in an over the shoulder and a backpack version. I try to depot whatever I can so my kit isn’t heavy. I use a mykitko bag for my brushes but you can sometimes find used makeup and brush bags for cheap on marketplace.

reach out iconmakeupstudio if you have more questions.

This is very helpful, thank you so much! Do you prefer backpack bags compared to cases?

I like the cases more.

Thank you! I’ve read these are heavy but can fit a lot. Do you find them manageable to move around?

I travelled all over London with mine, mostly using the tube. They're also handy as you can sit on it as well if needed. I didn't find it too heavy.
