Makeover your Makeup Kit

THE MISSION: To find a Makeup Kit that has a lot of storage, separate compartments with larger wheels.
I clean my kit before and after every job and I am extremely organized with my makeup items. For years I used a kit that had drawers and attached wheels and I loved it because I could keep items such as lip gloss, liner, and eye shadow in the same area, making it easy to find them. However, I never had enough space in my kit for all of my supplies.
THE SOLUTION: The ZUCA
After a lot of searching for another kit with more storage and larger wheels, I found the ZUCA pro artist case and I am in love! The ZUCA has rubber wheels and separate pouches for all of my makeup items. I place my brushes inside the front zipper after I clean them.
The pouches have little pockets in the front for a label. This allows me to store base, primer, lip color, liner and shadow and eye items all together for quick locate.
KRYSTAL TIP: When items are organized it makes for quick work and more money!
The pouches also have plastic that can be easily wiped down with alcohol or antibacterial wipes. 
ORGANIZATION TIP: When cleaning and organizing my kit after every time I’ve used it, I sharpen the eye liners and lip liners, wipe and spray the lip palette and tighten all loose lids.
ZUCA also has a PRO hair pack and that is my next purchase!
CLEANING TIP: I clean my brushes with antibacterial cleaner and then set them on their side so that the water does not travel down the finial*. (This can cause the glue to loosen and the bristles to fall out.)
*The finial is the metal part of the brush that connects the handle to the bristles and holds the bristles in place.
