Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if i'm posting this in the right place or not, but here goes

I'm just starting out as a make-up artist and am really confused about what products i should be using in my kit and most importantly where to buy them from, i buy alot of stuff online, one because i live in germany, and the shops here are more expensive than the uk and the selection is not as good.

I know obviously i have to get a good case for storage, and a variety of different products, there are alot of products that i love and some not so much, but just because something works for me doesn't mean it will work for my clients and vice versa...so i am really confused by this.

The second thing is, since i'm just starting out, i don't have a very big budget for getting my initial kit, i'm looking at around 150 pounds including case. I have been on countless websites looking at different options, i have seen alot of sites offering make-up at wholesale prices, but am also a little scared of buying from these incase the products are fake.

I guess im just looking for any advice on the best places for buying make-up online at good prices, and what products i should be buying, also does anyone know of any good companies that offer pre-made or tailor made kits for a certain price?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, sorry for the rant
