Favourites & Essentials

A collection of our favourite products and little essentials to help with our Professional Photo Day, Showcase and Eisteddfod Teams for Competition Season.

Keeping everything organised

Three separate bags — one for Hair, one for Makeup and one for Emergency Essentials — makes everything so much easier to find when getting ready and backstage. This 3 piece quilted bag set is a fabulous option: the bags are fabric, so when they get covered in makeup, hairspray and general mess, you can pop them in the wash ready for next time.
