LETTING THE INSIDER SECRETS OUT OF THE (MAKEUP) BAG!

Spring/Summer 2010
The Long Overdue Complete Website Update/Upgrade Has Begun!
Updating all categories and adding many more, including hair products (prep and styling) and tools of the trade(s).

IN MY KIT was originally designed as a reference guide for new makeup artisits.  Building your first professional makeup kit can be very expensive and given the seemingly endless product choices...very confusing. 

MY PROMISE: The products reviewed and referenced on this website appear only after positive performance data is gathered from highly respected, working Senior Pro Artists around the world. We compare notes at industry events, by phone, by email, on social networks and industry forums.
Everything from moisturizer to mascara, lipstick to lipgloss, drugstore to specialty store.  This is a guide to proven basics, outstanding new technology and some all-time favorites that are still best in category.

It's not surprising that people outside of the industry would be curious about what's inside a Professional Makeup Kit.  But
we had no idea that this information would be in such demand!  So after sorting through mountains of email and uncovering dozens of global links to this site...we realized how many people are seriously looking for a shortcut through the press and advertising hype. 

REALITY CHECK:  Most major cosmetic companies (corporations) spend millions of dollars on eye catching packaging, exotic ingredients, luxuriously beautiful bottles and sleek stylish compacts. They make bold statements with provocative advertising.  They BUY "unbiased" editorial coverage by giving magazine publishers BIG advertising dollars.  They also BUY the devotion of beauty editors by showering them with free products and expensive gifts.
(If you were wondering who pays for all of this bribery...LOOK IN THE MIRROR)

VERY IMPORTANT:  No Sponsored Advertising will ever be accepted from any company that manufactures or distributes products featured on this website. 
Placement on this website is based on quality, consistency and performance of each product under professional conditions.  Companies that alter a product's formulation in a way that compromises or lessens their performance under professional conditions will be removed from the IN MY KIT website.

EXTRA! EXTRA!  Most of the companies featured offer Professional Makeup Artist discount programs when you present the correct credentials.
