Okay, here is what I carry in my kit off the top of my head:
All my make-up. (All blushes, msfs, foundations, concealers, eyeliners, primers, mascaras, eyeshadows, pigments, lipglosses, lipsticks, LASHES, everything)
Everything sectioned off into its own containers.
Everything clean and organized.
Q Tips
Disposable mascara wands, lipgloss wands, lipstick wands, spatulas.
Cotton pads
Hair ties
Bobbi pins
Kleenex
Baby Wipes (or make-up wipes) in bulk.
Zip lock bag for garbage
Brush cleaner in a small spray bottle.
Water in a small spray bottle.
Make-up remover in a small spray bottle.
Zip lock bag for dirty brushes - NEVER put them back in your case, in your brush belt, or down on a table.
Make-up remover pads
Disposable Sponges
A chair that is the right height for you to work on your clients.
Bandaids
Paper Towels
Moisterizers, toners, cleansers
Tape
Mints
Hand sanitizers
Lash Glue
Mixing Mediums
Stainless Steel mixing palette
Stainless Steel spatula
Setting spray
Okay, thats all I can remember off the top of my head.
Remember that each face, especially if you're doing full face, could take anywhere from half an hour to just over an hour. Keep on schedule or else you can run the whole wedding behind. The day before the wedding, sit down and look at photos of the peoples faces you will be working on - if you haven't already discussed what you are doing with them, imagine what would look good on their skin tone, skin type, and face shape. That way once you get there you already have a list in your head of what might work.
Good luck
Make sure to clean your brushes between clients, if you're using the MAC brush cleanser, it should take 15 minutes for them to dry, so anticipate a 20 minute break between clients so you can do this.
Also, sanitize every product before and after you use it. Make sure you're educated on all sanitization procedures, because you don't want to risk infecting your kit by getting bacteria on a product.
