Demonstrate setting up of trolley

Setting up a makeup trolley is an essential process for makeup artists, ensuring that all tools and products are
organized, accessible, and hygienically stored. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to efficiently setting up your
makeup trolley:
1 Clean and Sanitize
Start with a clean slate: Ensure your trolley and all tools are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before setup.
Use alcohol wipes or a suitable disinfectant to wipe down the surfaces and tools.
2 Organize Your Products
Categorize your products: Group your makeup products by type (e.g., foundations, eyeshadows, lipsticks) and
by usage sequence (e.g., primers, setting sprays). This helps in streamlining your workflow.
3 Layout Plan

Plan your layout: Consider the order of application and frequency of use for each product. Place the items you
use most at the beginning of your makeup routine within easy reach.
4 Utilize Dividers and Containers
Use organizers: Implement dividers, containers, and holders to segregate products, prevent them from tipping
over, and make the best use of space. Clear acrylic organizers can be especially helpful for visibility.
5 Tools and Brushes
Separate brushes and tools: Store brushes, sponges, and other tools in separate holders or containers to
avoid cross-contamination. Consider using brush belts or rolls for easy access and organization.
6 Hygiene Essentials
Dedicate a section for hygiene: Allocate space for sanitization supplies, including alcohol, brush cleaner,
disposable applicators, gloves, and paper towels. Hygiene is paramount in makeup application.
7 Portable Equipment
Portable lighting and mirror: If your trolley doesn’t come with built-in lighting, consider adding a portable,
rechargeable LED light and a high-quality, adjustable mirror for better visibility and precision in application.
8 Emergency Kit
Prepare an emergency/quick-fix kit: Include items for quick fixes, such as blotting papers, Q-tips, makeup
remover, small scissors, tweezers, and safety pins.
9 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
PPE for safety: Especially important in current times, ensure you have masks and shields for yourself and your
clients, if necessary.
