Inside an Artist’s Rolling Makeup Case

Rolling makeup cases are used by professionals to compartmentalize and transport their tools. When put to work, these artists need as much order and arrangement to prepare them for a fast-paced environment. Cases are comprised of compartments and trays that are at times adjustable and can be pulled up and out of the base. These shelving units are tray dividers (can also be adjustable) that can hold makeup supplies such as brushes and pencils, to cotton balls and tissue. Rolling makeup cases have mobility from  skate wheels that are built onto a tool box. Other special features of these makeup cases are trusty locks and built in makeup stations (such as mirrors and lights).

“The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious”

-Marcus Aurelius

So I just got off the phone with my talented friend Jason, a cosmetology instructor and fashion makeup artist. He gives me the organization tips on how he fills up his rolling makeup case. According to Sanchez, a rolling makeup case should be organized into three parts: 1) working tools, 2) staples, and 3) product.

Working Tools: These are the items that will always be replaced (i.e. brushes, cotton, qtips, tissues, cleansers, false lashes, lotion, etc.)

Staples: Cosmetics that will work on anyone anywhere. Or that work in a “pinch” (i.e. natural color choices, and a few bold colors that will make a statement)

Product: All other items (i.e. foundation, eye shadow options, lipsticks, liners, powder and more)
