What it's used for
The MUA 05 is designed for professionals who need all their materials organised, within reach and protected during transport or long days on set. The full visibility of the transparent pockets eliminates time wasted searching for products, and the modularity allows you to reorganise contents depending on the day's work.
- Transport and organisation of brushes, applicators and professional makeup tools
- Use on film, television and advertising shoots where quick access to materials is critical
- Photography sessions in studio or outdoors under variable weather conditions
- Hair and makeup work in theatre or live performances
- Modular storage of FX products and accessories on set
- Daily transport as a shoulder bag or worn on the body via belt
How to use it
- Distribute your tools and products across the 6 removable pockets by category: brushes, foundations, concealers, miscellaneous accessories.
- Insert the loaded pockets into the outer Cordura® bag until they fit correctly.
- For on-set work requiring frequent access, remove the pockets you need and lay them out on your work table.
- For transport between locations, adjust the shoulder strap to your height and close the bag.
- If you prefer to have the pockets within immediate reach while working standing up, convert the shoulder strap into a belt and fasten them around your waist.
- At the end of the day, clean the plastic pockets with a damp cloth and store the bag in a dry place.
Usage tips
Organise by colour or labels
Although the pockets are transparent and allow you to see the contents at a glance, on sets with low light it is useful to identify each pocket with a small velcro label at the top. This lets you locate the right material even under difficult lighting conditions.
Make the most of the modularity on your work table
The great advantage of the 6 removable pockets is that you can spread them out on the table like independent modules. Line them up in front of you for simultaneous access to all your materials without moving the bag. When you're done, they go back into the bag in seconds.
Caring for the Cordura® and plastic
The Cordura® 1000 denier requires no special maintenance, but avoid exposing it to strong solvents or acetone-based products. For the transparent plastic pockets, use only a damp cloth with water or mild soap; abrasive or alcohol-based products may cloud them over time.
Frequently asked questions
Can the inner pockets be used independently, without the bag?
Yes. The 6 pockets of the MUA 05 are completely removable and self-contained. You can take them out of the outer bag and use them directly on your work table, attach them to a belt or distribute them around the set as needed. This modularity is one of the most valued features among professionals working on shoots.
What's the difference between this bag and a conventional makeup belt bag?
The MUA 05 combines the capacity of a large-format bag (50 x 27 x 18 cm exterior) with the convenience of body wear thanks to its convertible shoulder strap/belt. Unlike a standard belt bag, it offers 6 removable pockets that can be managed independently. If you're looking for a more compact option just for accessories, the Samas MUA 04 Belt Bag can be an ideal complement.
Does the transparent plastic hold up well at extreme temperatures?
Yes. The plastic used for the MUA 05 pockets is selected to withstand both intense cold outdoors in winter and the heat from studio lights or summer shoots. It does not become brittle in the cold or deform under moderate heat, making it suitable for any professional working environment.
How does the shoulder strap-to-belt conversion work?
The MUA 05 shoulder strap features an adjustment and fastening system that allows it to be reconfigured as a belt to hold the pockets around your waist. This way, the makeup artist or stylist has the pockets within immediate reach without needing to go back to the table. It is especially useful during actor prep on set when workspace is limited.
Is it suitable as carry-on luggage on a plane?
The outer dimensions of the MUA 05 are 50 x 27 x 18 cm. Depending on the airline and pocket configuration, it may be accepted as carry-on luggage with most long-haul carriers, though we recommend checking your airline's specific limits before flying. For frequent travel with more kit, the Samas MUA 02 Trolley is the alternative designed specifically for travel.
Does the 2-year warranty cover intensive professional use?
The 2-year warranty offered by Samas covers manufacturing and material defects, including regular professional use. Being handmade in Italy with premium materials such as Cordura® 1000 denier, the MUA 05 is designed to withstand the daily wear of an active professional. In case of any issue, contact Feroca to handle the warranty claim.
Are there larger capacity bags in the same range?
Yes. If you need more capacity, the Samas MUA 06 Large Case is the large-format option in the Samas range. To complement the MUA 05 with additional modular accessories, you can also add the Samas Klear Pouch Belt Accessory.
