What happens with my kit between jobs

It's obvious what my time is spent doing on a job.  Hair and makeup.
However, a good amount of time goes into maintaining my kit in between jobs.  Thoroughly cleaning my tools happen after a job- full washing and sanitizing, not just a spray. And then comes the incremental work.  The other week I spent a good 4 hours just de-potting and organizing my shadows.  I recently got a new lipstick and cream blush palette system(which was very pricey!!) that reduces the weight and space those products take up in my kit. That took me a few hours as well.  Going through products from time to time making sure they are all fresh, buying and trying, cleaning out brushes and pin boxes, re-upping and keeping disposables organized, wiping all of my palettes, pencils, etc. down to keep them clean, etc. This all takes time! I change up my kit according to the specific job as well.

Point is... it's not just show up and work the hours needed.  It's maintain a beautiful, functional, and fresh kit.  Pack, lug, travel, show up, travel, clean and sanitize, refill, - do it again!!
