ARTIST TIP | Aspiring Make-up Artists: So You Wanna Be a Make-up Artist?

I have never been so transparent about the steps I’ve taken to be the make-up artist I am today probably because:

i). I likely wanted to give off a more professional vibe. Doing make-up is something more than just earning extra money on the side. It’s a full-time passion, but the truth is although many weeks doing freelance works approaches full-time hours, I still work a full-time office job. I insert doing make-up whenever I can – I’m talking lunchtime, weeknights, weekends. Basically 7 days a week, I’m ‘working’…not so glamourous, right? Well, when you love it, it truly doesn’t feel like work….and you’ll keep working for it until you get to where you want to be.

ii). Fear that competition is everywhere…well, it is! So why reveal my ‘secrets’? With more experience, I’m a bit more comfortable in letting my work speak for itself.

iii). I’m still figuring it out myself! I can look back at the 7 years or so I have been freelancing seriously, and think of all the things I have done…but I know there is still lots more to learn and lots more to go.

Here are some tips that have helped me along the way and if you’re an aspiring artist, hopefully it can help you on your journey too (warning:  grab a coffee or a snack – long post ahead!):
