Make Up Artists Best Case for all your kit?

[User49]

I'm a mac employee and make up artist outside of work and am looking for a more durable case to put all my make up in. I don't want one of those aluminum ones as they are too heavy to cart around (I don't drive so I walk everywhere so it needs to be light). Any recs for this type of case in the UK?

Thanks x

MAC Pro has a briefcase that is light-weight and easy to carry and a new napsack to carry on ur back! good stuff! =)
idk if you can get that in the UK tho???

Try a 15" to 20" rolling luggage carrier, depending on how much stuff you carry, a small one fits a lot of stuff. Just put everything in clear plastic makeup cases and its durable, cheap, and easy to roll around. And it's helpful if you ever have to travel.

I got my case from here. Makeup Cases

It's pretty nice.

A kiddies rolling suitcase and a squashy lightweight box-shaped case work just fine for me.

Where can I find the clear plastic small cases in the UK? x

Ahh I can't decide on these ones :

Pro Soft Sided Carry On Cosmetic Case w/ Trays TS-99 - TS-99

Or this one

Odessa Medium Size Cosmetic Beauty Box

Or this one from an art website

ArtBin Mega Tote, Art Materials Art Supplies, SAA Shop

Now I live in the Uk so not having to pay an extra $50 shipping costs is appealing. But I don't drive so having straps and handles is pretty important. And lugging around aluminum is a pain in the bum. What should I do???

For the clear plastic cases check out both the powder group and Naimies Beauty Center - Beauty Supplies, Hair Salon, Day Spa, Wig Studio. They both carry several sized clear cases. I use the ones from the powder group, LOVE THEM! They use paypal, I'm not sure how that works for the UK. Hope that helps!

glitternmyveins I completely forgot all about Screenface! I knew there was a UK site that had a lot of stuff, check out Screenface.com They have all the clear plastic cases too!

I went on screenface.com and they had everything! I'm like oooo I want all of it! For now I am just starting out so I can't afford to splash out, but there are some essential things I need like sanitizers ect.

Thanks for all the help! xx

For clear cases, Try Marks and spencers. They do a pack of three for £5. I have these in my kit.
Re the cases, the screenface ones are heavy. Beware of back injuries!
