Makeup artistry doesn’t require you to exert lots of energy as you might have to as a maid or babysitter, therefore if the main reason you want to become a makeup artist is for any fortune or fame, then go and pick another career as makeup artistry is not for you.

Since building a clientele and reputation takes time, start small side jobs by doing makeup for small events or brides during the weekends. Through that, you will definitely build it slowly into a stable full time job.

Find what niche you are really passionate of. Once you already know and find your niche in the makeup artistry field, focus on it and develop your skills on it as it will be the way to make you more successful and stand out among the rest.

If you are completely passionate about the things you do and put hard work at it, you will most likely to be very successful someday. Good luck in your chosen career.…
