"Hi, we're back at Expert Village and my name is Kat Latrenta. I'm an entertainer and I have put a wonderful makeup case together. We're on a journey as Katie the Irish beer maid, and we want to make sure when we go out on the road to do our show, that we have everything that's necessary to do the show properly. Now, never assume that they're going to have Kleenex for you, always bring facial tissue yourself. Lipsticks, yes, but here's something you might not have ever thought of bring a pencil sharpener, how many times have you killed for a pencil sharpener? And I go with a lot of greens when I'm doing the Irish show. Now eyes are blue, naturally, but if you put blues and greens eye shadows in pencil then it just brings out the red in me wig. That's the next segment, stick around. A little cup like this is always handy, one thing about it is I can pour some water in here, if I need to use my sponge for makeup, and sometimes you can just leave it with somebody else who has bottled water you can get some of the water and drink it. So bring your own cup. Let's see what else do we have in here eye shadows, things that you absolutely, absolutely need is a mirror of your own. They might not have a mirror place for you. Lipstick, never be caught without lipstick, I have on occasion, it's awful. These little daubers are wonderful, keep a couple of those in there because as you change colors for the eye shadow you'll change daubers as well. And Q tips are handy. What else do we have? we have pins, you've got to keep your wig on you're going to need bobby pins and besides bobby pins, make sure you always have safety pins. I was at a show last week and the girl had a costume malfunction so my safety pins came in handy. That's pretty much what you need. Make sure that your brushes are beautiful, make sure that all of your blushes are the same color as the costume that you're going to wear, then you lipstick and your face will compliment the costume that you're wearing. That makes it more fun."
