Why Is This Important?
- Makeup artists need a wide variety of products, but heavy kits are exhausting.
- Bulky packaging is a hindrance, especially in limited spaces like travel or on set.
- Depotting and kit splitting reduce kit weight and improve organization.
- These methods keep kits portable, efficient, and manageable.
- Artists stay prepared for any scenario with lighter, organized kits.
Depotting Rules
- Preserve Product Integrity: Ensure that the quality of the makeup is maintained during depotting by using sanitized tools and clean containers.
- Labeling: Properly label each container. A pro tip is to use the back of lipstick labels or other original packaging labels to avoid confusion.
- Expiry Dates: Keep track of the product’s expiration date, as depotting can sometimes make it harder to remember when items were purchased or when they might expire.
Portability
When a little goes a long way—lighten your MUA kit!
Depotting allows you to carry just what you need. Instead of bringing an entire palette or foundation bottle, you can transfer just enough product into compact containers. This significantly reduces the weight of your kit and makes it easier to move around, especially for jobs that require travel.
Efficiency
When every second counts—up to 24 shades in the palm of your hand.
With depotting, a makeup artist can easily access a wide range of shades and products without fumbling through bulky packaging. Condensing 24 eyeshadows into one sleek palette or organizing multiple foundations into one container saves precious time during applications, ensuring that every second is spent perfecting the look rather than searching for products.
Durability
When traveling—Vueset offers peace of mind.
Vueset containers are known for their durability, making them the ideal depotting solution for makeup artists on the go. They are designed to withstand the rigors of travel, so whether you’re on a plane, train, or working long hours on set, you can trust that your products will stay safe and intact, eliminating the worry of spills or breakage.
A Real-Life Scenario: You’re Booked for a Job, but Your Kit Won’t Fit
Imagine you’ve just booked a job, and you’re expected to bring everything—from basic touch-ups for bridesmaids to bold looks for a music video shoot. But your kit is too heavy, and there’s no way it’ll fit in your luggage for the flight. This is where depotting and kit splitting come in. By downsizing your kit, you’ll be prepared for every situation without the burden of carrying unnecessary items.
Whether working with limited counter space or under tight time constraints, depotting ensures you can perform at your best without being weighed down.
About Vueset
I started Vueset after realizing the importance of having a condensed kit. I’ve always been organized, and that passion naturally evolved into developing a system that worked for me. During my time working on world tours for some of the biggest acts, I had to downsize my kit without compromising preparedness for any and every scenario. Vueset containers are sturdy, lightweight, and designed to travel well—perfect for makeup artists who need to be both efficient and mobile.
What Is Depotting and Why Is It Useful?
Depotting is the process of removing makeup products from their original packaging and placing them into more compact, customizable containers. It helps makeup artists reduce the size and weight of their kits while improving organization and accessibility. For personal travelers or makeup artists alike, depotting allows for a more streamlined, portable approach to carrying cosmetics.
Pro Tip
Instead of using traditional labels, try using the back of lipstick labels to mark your depotted products—it’s an efficient and tidy way to keep track of your items!
Depotting and kit splitting are essential tools for any makeup artist looking to maximize efficiency, stay organized, and be prepared for every situation without the burden of a heavy, cumbersome kit.
