This is so helpful. I find that I do waste alot of time, looking for things. Also, once I'm finished doing a large bridal party, all my makeup is just in a big chaotic pile. I'm working on cutting back my kit and being more organized as I work.
So happy it was helpful Katie!! Being organized is such a game changer, I'm constantly re-organizing my kit to make it more functional! Even though this video is only 6 months old, I've already changed a few big things about my set up! *face palm*
I have a MAC travel case that I found at Nordstrom rack for a really good deal (I was so excited). One side has bags that velcro in but the other side the compartments are built in and not removable. The non removable side is kind of the downfall but it was a big step up than what I was using previously. Not 100% happy with it. Along with that, I have a train case that is pretty large and clunky. My best friend bought it for me a few years ago, so I feel bad not using it anymore. I really like your large bag that has everything in it. I find myself carrying 4 separate items. 2 bags of makeup, my chair, and a bag that has my camera and a roll of papertowels. It's way too much! no current favs to report unfortunately :( I bought a Brushfolio. It's so nice having all the brushes visible and it is perfect when i'm only working on one person. It's way too fussy when doing a large group, and you need two hands to put a brush back. I still use it, but i'm thinking about moving to cups like you have. it would be much easier to keep track of dirty brushes.
Hey Alexa! Thanks so much for watching :) I got them at Nigel's Beauty Emporium! They're called the Monda Studio Brush Holder (MST-725 Cosmetic Pouch) I've had them for years now, they hold up really well 👌👌
Shannon love this and would love and sit and have you do my makeup, I think in itself it is also therapeutic :) I think it would also be so much fun to do that with others, and create some lovely looks. The best part is playing with the products of course, have a wonderful week, love and blessings xoxo
Good morning and happy Wednesday 🙌🏼. Thank you for sharing your bag and station for us. I found this so fascinating to see behind the scenes. I like thatbthe bake has a side table. Lots of paper towels. You are very organized. I just appreciate people who have good organized skills. Awesome video Shannon. Well once 🙌🏼. Sending you warm hugs 🤗
Thanks Ranalynn! So happy you enjoyed the video, I use so many paper towels it's insane, I keep a bunch of rolls in my car too... haha I'm only organized with my kit... you should see the rest of my room 😳😜
Thanks for watching girl! Haha, I know what you mean :) Things still get crazy and I lose stuff all the time, haha but this system has helped immensely!
Thank you so much C Kenzie! I'm so happy that the video was helpful for you! If there's any makeup artist/makeup/skincare topic you'd like me to cover, holler my way
New subbie here. 😃 Where can I find a chair similar to yours? I’m in Hawaii and have difficulty finding it here or an online store that ships to my location.
Hi Jenn! Thanks for hanging out! So I have the Tuscany Pro chair (short) that I bought from Naimies, but I found one on this camping site that ships to Hawaii - bit.ly/2A7Q79s For the first couple years I carried a directors chair from Pier 1 Imports and then I threw a little side table in my car in case a location didn't have a space! Keep me posted :)

What do you use to organize your stuff? Any favorite bags that I should know about?? I just got a few from My Kit Pro and I'm obsessed 😜
