What steps do I need to take to be a make up artist part time?

SO I HAVE THIS GREAT IDEA!





I am going to go to people's home and events to do their make up!





BUT I am not a professional just yet, but many people do stop me when I am around town to ask me about my make up so I must be doing a good job.

That's a GREAT idea! Problem is, it's easier said than done. When I first became interested in Makeup I perfected my own...that was easy! As I started doing it for other people it became much more difficult. Here's how I learned...on the weekends and a couple of evenings during the week I would go to the mall and sit at different makeup counters. Let the employees know that you are interested in makeup and are looking to learn. You'd be surprised at how much information you can get. Also, let as many people as possible do your makeup. Ask questions and act clueless. The more questions you ask the more information you get. Next, read every beauty magazine you can get your hands on. When clients start coming to you the will always want the look they found in magazine, awards show, or movie. You'll want to have a solid understanding the the color wheel, pigments, undertones...all that jazz. Read a skin care book or two. You should try to be as well versed in makeup and skin care as possible...they go hand in hand. When you start doing makeup for other people you'll need to have tough skin. What looks good to you will not look good to everyone else! You may think someone looks great in shades of purple but they may hate the color purple. Don't take it personally! Hope this helped a little. Once you get the swing of things it's a great experience! Supplies are tricky...you'll the most on foundations. You need to be able to do a great color match especially if you are going to be doing weddings and proms. Women want to look PERFECT for these things. Having a shade too dark or too light will be very bad, lol! Buy you shadows in pallets...it's cheaper and easier to transport. Brushes are VERY expensive but last a long time if you keep them clean. You'll need the basics first...concealer, foundation, liner, shahow shader, slanter shadow, lip, powder, and blush. Never put the same brush on more than one person before you clean it! I know this is alot of information. Once you get everything down, you'll be great! Email me if you need to!What steps do I need to take to be a make up artist part time?
Start off at a department store at the makeup counters. From there you'll learn how to do makeup on other people, not just yourself. You'll learn everything you need to and you'll get experience by working on customers, and you'll probably have people that come in for proms or weddings. Once you get comfortable with your skills and you get people who like your work, start handing out business cards and voila! Makeup artist!
be an undertaker first in a funeral parlor coz you won't find resistance in your practice. just practice and practice for practice makes perfect.
