How do I get started as a Makeup Artist?

Question

I have an esthetician license and would like to do makeup and facials for extra money. Where can I buy supplies, and get clients? Any mobile estheticians or freelance makeup artists?

Answer 1

Well Medusasmakeup.com

and urbandecay.com

both have makeup artist sets. But they are vibrant colors...I think that Urban Decay has vibrant and slightly normal shades. Otherwise, Go to another store or website that is good with makeup and you may find they have something good.

Answer 2

Well you could start a fan base in a stores makeup department, (like be one of thoes people that helps pick out makeup and do makeovers) and you could do it in like nordstroms, sephora, etc.

And when you start seeing people normally you can get like a business card made and hand it out

Answer 3

You could contact local models and photographers to see if they need your services. You should check out any local modeling websites or places like onemodelplace.com and search for your area. Also advertise locally for weddings, that should be a huge market.
