The profession of a makeup artist is gaining popularity among girls. Working behind the scenes of fashion shows, creative photo shoots and celebrity clients is not a job, but a dream. It takes a lot of work to become a famous professional makeup artist.
Instructions
Step 1
Want to become a makeup artist. Without a sincere desire and sparkle in the eyes, it will not work to become a famous makeup artist. It is advisable that you soberly assess your capabilities: are you a creative person, do you know how to work with people, do you have a sense of style.
Step 2
Decide what level you want to achieve. Based on this, choose a place for training a profession. Whether you want to work in fashion shows, in a glamorous magazine, or do makeup for photo shoots, choose famous schools that have proven themselves. For example, Make Up Atelier or Make-up School. If you want to know the basics to do makeup for yourself and your friends, you can choose the basic courses.
Step 3
Practice as much as possible. Connect all your friends and mothers. The more ages, skin types and facial features you master, the better. Do not chase after money by trying to find clients immediately after training. The slightest misstep, and rumors will spread a bad name about you.
Step 4
Collect a beauty case. Get a professional makeup case and gradually fill it with the right products. Don't chase the number of products by saving on price. Instead of ten funds, it is better to buy two or three, but of the highest quality and class.
Step 5
Collect your portfolio while you practice. Maybe among your friends there is a beginner photographer or just a person with a good camera? Ask him to take pictures of your work or arrange a photo session in which you work as a makeup artist.
Step 6
Make business cards and build a customer base. Hand out business cards to your friends and ask for advice if someone needs a makeup artist. After working with new clients, also leave them your business card. You can bypass wedding agencies, show them work and offer cooperation. As a last resort - place the business cards with them.
Step 7
Write an ad on forums, in newspapers. Make your group on social networks, post photos of works and descriptions of services. This will help to promote a little and attract new customers. Join photographer groups and offer makeup artist services for photo shoots.
Step 8
Improve yourself! There is no end point in the profession of a makeup artist. Attend master classes, refresher courses, master new techniques and materials. Do internships in magazines or on television, and do not refuse if you are offered the role of assistant.
