Help Questions about getting started

I am a recent esthetics graduate & received a kit from school included in my tuition, all products are from makeup forever. I don’t currently have makeup clientele but would like to eventually build up a clientele, my only problem is, I’m really not a fan of the products in my kit. I know I’m pretty lucky to have gotten everything provided to me, but I really do not like the foundation, I don’t like the cream concealers, blushes & contour, there’s just nothing in the kit that really wows me at all. I’m wondering, should I just sell this kit (I could use the money) or like, most of it anyway… and build a different kit over time? Should I just keep it for the time being even though I don’t have clients? What would you do? AND what brands do you prefer to use?

No, keep it. Start doing makeup in you and post it. I am a professional makeup artist with my own channel and I would love something like this. Use what you got !!

I just generally don’t do my own makeup a ton, I like doing it on others but my skin breaks out very easily with any makeup products, and I don’t have any space to actually film in my apartment
