I would like to become a makeup artist, do you have any tip or advice?
The best advice I can give is to practice, A LOT. lol I started doing my makeup over and over, every day, and night just practicing new looks on myself. Then I started doing my friends makeup for fun, and eventually for events like birthdays and prom. The more you practice the better you will get. Also, collect makeup over time! (if you can't purchase a whole kit all at once) I am a college student and started makeup in high school, so I definitely never had money to just go out and buy a whole makeup kit for my clients, but over time I just bought makeup here and there and grew my collection. As for a kit, make sure to have at least 8 different foundation shades, varying from very dark to very light. I recommend L'Oréal True Match Foundation because they have sooooooooo many shades, they work amazing for almost everyone, and can be a light/medium/or full coverage if done right. Definitely have a variety of blush/powder/lipstick shades as well.
Another thing, do your research! I learned how to do makeup on other people by reading about different skin types, eye shapes, skin tones, age, etc by reading about it online. The Internet is so useful! I never watched YouTube videos until I started my channel, but I realized now how helpful they are! You can type in like "how to conceal dark circles on mature skin" and many videos will show you and give you advice that can help you with your clients.
For social media, have a Facebook page, instagram, and pinterest (if you're into pinterest) for your work. Post as many pictures as possible and market yourself so that people want your services. Don't take pictures using your front camera (the quality is horrible) and take pictures in natural lighting.
Lastly, don't charge people outrageous prices when you are first becoming a makeup artist. Try like $20 a person, then work your way up as your skills get better. That's pretty much it though!
