Ever wonder how we pull off those flawless, long-lasting looks? We are pulling back the curtain on the specific products and gear that actually live in our vanity.
These are the products that just make sense in our vanity. From a Huda Beauty blush that gives the perfect baby doll effect to an instant brush cleaner that's a lifesaver, these are some of our must have items.
You asked for part two of what's in our hair bag, so here it is. We share some of our favorite tools, including a tiny but mighty tripod, L'Oréal sprays for covering bald patches, and a three barrel curler for those perfect waves.
As professional hairstylists, these random things make all the difference. We share some of our must have tools, like special U-pins that don't poke, a texture spray for volume, and a toothbrush for snatching the hairline.
If you've ever wondered what should be in your touch up kit for camera ready makeup, this video is for you. We share our favorite cream products, powders, and a golden trick for carrying loose powder on the go.
As professional hairstylists, here are some of our top tips for healthy and chemically treated hair. We talk about the importance of heat protectant, using blue or purple shampoos to combat brassiness, and replacing your conditioner with a mask for extra nourishment.
About What's In Our Kit: Pro Tools & Products
We don't believe in hoarding expensive items just for the aesthetic. Every single product in our vanity, from that specific Kryolan brush cleaner to the tiny tripods we swear by, has earned its spot because it saves time or solves a major problem on set. If it doesn't perform under pressure or make your life easier during a quick touch-up, it simply doesn't make the cut.
Makeup Essentials
When we are on set, we need products that work as hard as we do. For base makeup, we gravitate towards cream formulas like Patrick Ta or Nudestix because they build layers without looking cakey. We are obsessed with Charlotte Tilbury’s powders for taking away shine without drying out the skin, which is a lifesaver when the lights are hot. If you want that 'glow from within' look that doesn't melt off, stop overloading on highlighters and start playing with cream textures.
Hair Kit Secrets
Professional hairstyling is about the details no one sees. We never travel without our L'Oréal spray to cover bald patches or add volume to fine hair, and we always carry glue drops to make sure that tikka stays put all night. If you struggle with heat styling, invest in a good texture spray. It gives you that effortless volume and prevents the hair from looking flat or crunchy. Also, we swear by U-pins with the rubber tips, so your client is never uncomfortable in the chair.
Pro Hacks
If you are lazy about cleaning your brushes, get a professional instant cleaner. It saves hours of work and keeps your vanity hygienic. For camera-ready looks, our golden rule is to keep a triangular powder puff soaked in loose powder in your kit for on-the-go touch-ups. It is simple, effective, and keeps you looking fresh without any effort.
