Staying organized can be a challenge for a makeup artist on the go. From lipstick and blush to mascara, makeup products come in various shapes and sizes, making storage tricky. A well-designed travel setup is essential.
Craft-n-Go Cases offer a functional, efficient solution for storing makeup supplies on the move. Designed for creatives who need both portability and organization, these cases help keep everything in place.
Follow along for three tips to optimize your Craft-n-Go Case for makeup storage.
Tip One: Categorize Your Supplies
One of the most crucial steps in efficiently organizing your makeup supplies in a Craft-n-Go Case is categorizing them. As an on-the-go makeup artist, you have several supplies to carry, so efficiency is key!
Place your alike supplies together – base, face, eyes, lips, etc. After sorting, choose where you would like to store each product. The Standard Craft-n-Go has two compartments in the lower section of the case. Brainstorm how you would set up your ideal case. For example, in the left compartment, you could store base supplies – such as primer and foundation. In the right compartment, you might store finishing touches such as highlighter and setting spray. Maybe you’re a hair and makeup artist. You would store hair supplies in one compartment and makeup supplies in another. Craft-n-Go Cases are tailored to fit your needs – there’s not just one correct way to set up your case.
Tip Two: Utilize the Upper Metal Lid
When traveling, it can be tricky to fit all your makeup supplies in a one-compartment bag. A benefit of the Craft-n-Go is that the inner lid serves as another surface for storing your supplies. In the Standard Case, with the two lower compartments, you have three different areas for storing your makeup supplies.
So, how do you utilize the upper metal lid? We have a few examples for you:
- Apply Magnets to the back of your makeup palettes. The Magnets will secure the palette to the lid, ensuring that your blush, eyeshadow, powder, etc., stays in place as you travel between gigs. For added protection, place the palettes inside clear Craft Pouches. If the product spills, it will remain in the pouch and not leak over your other makeup supplies.
- Use Black Vinyl. It is easy to clean and makes for a sleek, professional setup.
- Use a magnetic mirror. What would a makeup artist be without a mirror on hand? Purchasing a magnetic mirror helps clients look at their beautiful selves while you work your makeup magic.
Tip Three: Use Accessories
