I have owned many set bags, and none have measured up. They have either been too big, too small or too flimsy. When I was introduced to the Kim Greene line, I was excited to try out these cute clear totes. 

I used the Kim Greene bag on set of the new TV series Charlie’s Angels, the film Rock of Ages and Burn Notice and let me tell you that I LOVE this set bag! I use 1 bag per actor. I like to have 1 premier bag on me with the essentials if I have many actors, and then use the smaller essential bag for each actor.

What’s in my Kim Greene set bag?

Many makeup artists have asked me what I like to have with me on set and here is a list of the must have items I have in my premier bag while on set. 

·         Mini Mirror 

·         makeup wipes

·         Travel size tissues

·         oil blotting sheets

($6.99 Target)

·         oil control blotting powder ( from MAC $23.00) comes in several shades from light to dark.

·         small set of basic makeup brushes $9.99 ( Target)

·         small pair of nail scissors

·         q-tips-  I like getting the box in the travel section and then refilling it.

Great for getting out “eye boogers”.

·         mini hand sanitizer

·         mini Altoids

·         Mini wisp toothbrushes ( bag of 16 $6.99 Walgreen’s)

·         dental floss- I like Pluckers individual floss sticks

·         eye drops

great for dry or red eyes or when tears are needed.

·         Powder Puff

·         Cosmetic sponges

·         VIVIA paper towels cut smaller to blot sweat - Hands down the best paper towel to have with you on set. 

For an actor bag I use the essential bag by Kim Greene. It’s the perfect size for a blot powder, powder puff, some cut up viva towels ( for sweat) a lip gloss or chap stick and a few makeup sponges ( for men)

Women you will need a few more items so maybe you will probably need the larger premier bag for women. I always throw in the mascara i used, eyeliner, lip liner, lipstick, blush, eyeshadow, etc. don’t forget lash glue just in case lashes fall off.

Tip: you can use an empty Zuca ( rolling makeup case) as your set bag carrier and as a portable seat while on set.
