I've always been in the habit of keeping some base/foundation in my grip box, just in case the need arises to tone down the shine on someone. But lately I have been finding myself on shoots where having a bit more might help.

I know there are issues with hygiene, so extra brushes and applicators would be a given, but that's about al I know.

I have no intention of being the make-up department either when I am doing client based work, or on indie projects. But I like having stuff handy that can help out.

Anybody have suggestion/experience with a basic make-up kit?
 
Sure, Jim. The foundation is for the "actors". Come on, come clean. LOL

Sorry. I couldn't help it. Actually the only thing I carry is my moulage stuff (trauma/sfx)
 
I asked several Make up artists the same question and what brands they use.
They told me to use
Grimas Crème Make-up "K-Palette

or Kryolan "Theater&Film Supracolor Palette N" .

It´s grease/creme make-up and fool proof to use for a Non-makeup-person like me.

What it does is to cover all blemish/spots and what not and gives a even surface.
Over that you apply a layer of Anti-Shine Powder or Ultra Setting Spray of the same company to remove shine and to fix the makeup.

P.S. and stay away from everything you find in the wives purse, it is not made to look good under 2K Fresnells.
