What should an Advanced Professional Makeup Kit Consist of/?

Okay, I want to put together a really advanced professional makeup kit, so what should it consist of. I want something with high intensity pigments, before makeup prep products, ect...What should an Advanced Professional Makeup Kit Consist of/?
I assume you're only doing makeup for yourself, not others. For really good pigments and colors, I'd look more in higher end brands like MAC, Urban Decay, NARS, Benefit, Clinique, Smashbox, etc. A few drugstore brands like NYX and Revlon have good stuff too. Here's what I've found for the best in each category.





Face Primer- Bare Escentuals Primer Time or Benefit That Gal





Foundation- Revlon Colorstay liquid or Clinique perfectly Real liquid makeup





Blush- MAC, Benefit, NARS, and NYX





Highlighters- MAC pigments, The Body Shop tinted glow enhancer





Bronzer- Guerlain, Cargo





Translucent powder- Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil, Makeup Forever high definition powder, MAC blot, Urban Decay de-slick





Eye primer- Urban Decay Primer Potion





Eyeshadow- MAC, Urban Decay, NYX, Smashbox, NARS, Ulta





Eyeliner- MAC, Makeup Forever





Mascara- Covergirl Lashblast, Blinc kiss me mascara





Lipstick- MAC, NYX round lipstick





Lipgloss- MAC, NYX, Clinique





You'll also need a good set of brushes- I highly reccomend MAC brushes, but for lower budgets, Bare Escentuals is also good, and Essence of Beauty found exclusively at CVS.





If you don't know what colors to wear or how to apply makeup, I'd reccomend going to a department store makeup counter (Nordstrom's is having a sale now), or Sephora and askin them to apply some on you, tell you what looks good, etc.
