Hi, I'm Ashley, and I'm a makeup artist, and today I am going to show you how to make your own makeup kit. It's always important to have your own makeup kit so you can carry all of your basics. One of the essential items that you'll need is a foundation brush. Another item I always carry is a blush brush. And this you can use to apply cheek color or contour your face. The third brush that I carry is a concealer brush. This will cover any imperfections that you have. Next you'll need your full size foundation to cover your entire face. I also carry a bronzer and you can use this as a blush or to contour your face. I also carry a mineral veil. And this is a sheer powder that goes over your foundation, minimizes your pores, and eliminates shine. And last, I carry my brush shampoo. You'll want to wash your brushes at least once a week. That will keep the bristles lasting longer and your makeup smoother. Remember you'll need your brush shampoo, your foundation brush, your bronzing brush, your concealer brush, your foundation, your bronzer, and your sheer powder. And that's how I do my makeup kit. I'm Ashley. Thanks for watching.
