Makeup artist cases: what are and how to assemble?

The profession of make-up stylist involves not only stationary work in a beauty studio, but also frequent trips. Fashion shows, photo shoots, make-up brides at home, live broadcasts on television - this specialist is in demand at many events. However, he should always have at hand a huge arsenal of professional cosmetic products that simply can not fit in a household cosmetic bag. That is why, to facilitate the exit work of the makeup artist, special cases were invented.

Makeup case is a specially designed device designed for transportation and temporary storage of cosmetics used by the master in the process. The design feature of the case is its special structure, which allows you to place cosmetics so that nothing spills, spills and does not deform during transportation.

The case also has the following characteristics:

• protects products from UV rays, dirt, dust, air;
• the cosmetics in the case are displayed in such a way that the make-up artist in the process of work can easily find and take one or another remedy;
• Despite the external compactness of some cases, they are all quite roomy.

Now let's find out what types of cases a modern beauty market can offer.

As a rule, such cases when folded resemble a laptop bag - they are made of similar material and have the same long shoulder strap for easy carrying. However, the difference becomes apparent when looking at the width of the bag - a device for the makeup artist is much larger. Inside there are several compartments for various types of cosmetics. Outside most often there is also a pair of pockets. The bag is chosen by beginner make-up artists or those whose trips are within the city of residence.

More advanced option. Designed not only for makeup artists, but also for hairdressers. The beauty case looks like a small chest equipped with many drawers on the inside. Lockable. Some varieties are equipped with brush holders.

The transforming case, in addition to a large number of compartments, also has a mirror, with the help of which it can act as a full-fledged workplace of the master makeup artist. When folded, it is similar to the previous variety.

It is a product with hard walls, made in the form of a suitcase. Many very large models are equipped with wheels for easy transportation.

Makeup artist cases are small, medium and large.

We consider each subspecies in more detail.

• Small the products are intended mainly for beginners who have not yet managed to acquire an impressive arsenal of cosmetics. With such a case, you can come, for example, to the bride and prepare her for the festive photo shoot.

• Medium-sized Chests used by more advanced masters, as they contain a larger volume of cosmetics. They are often taken with them on a trip. These include transformer cases.

• And finally the biggest are suitcases. They are chosen by top-class professionals working in various conditions (visiting, a beauty salon) and performing diverse make-up (festive, for broadcasts on television, thematic, etc.). They are equipped with a huge number of drawers, as well as a mirror.

What are these items made of? Manufacturers offer a choice of products from the following materials.

• Plastic cases are distinguished by brightness, low weight, and resistance to mechanical damage. However, plastic is not a hypoallergenic material, it can smell unpleasant, and is also highly flammable, releasing toxins.

• Aluminum products look stylish, weigh a little. But they are easy to damage, for example, dropping to the floor or accidentally scratching.

• Wooden cases are very beautiful, they emphasize the status of their owner, are durable, durable, environmentally friendly. However, such products are expensive, weigh a lot, and under the influence of external factors can change color and texture.

• Fabric beauty cases are more common than others. This is due to their low price, light weight and easy maintenance. The disadvantage is their short service life, especially if the product was purchased from an unverified seller and has poor-quality joints.

• Eco leather. Great option. Firstly, it has a very presentable appearance. Secondly, caring for such a product is quite simple - sometimes just wiping the surface with a damp cloth is enough.

• Magnetic beauty cases are characterized by excellent capacity, low weight, ergonomics. However, not all cosmetics can be attached to the base, which is a disadvantage of the product.

• Acrylic. The material is visually similar to plastic. At a price it will come out more expensive, but it will please with a variety of colors and design variations.
