Student to Success: 5 Tips on How to Break into the Business of Beauty

1. Network: This is the number one thing you can do to promote your skill. Make sure that everyone you meet knows that you are a make-up artist for hire. Never miss an opportunity to attend an industry function. You never know, you might meet the person who gives you your big break at the that event!

2. Beat them to the Punch: Scout jobs before they are advertised. Scour local newspapers, entertainment magazines and the internet to see what upcoming
events might be needing a make-up artist. Why not approach them with your service before they have even had the chance to think of hiring a make-up artist?

3. Act like a Business Owner: A make-up artist like any entrepreneur will tell you that there is never a minute to waste when you run a business. If you find
your self with too many days to yourself in a month, then you aren’t doing enough to promote your business. Develop a web site, contact local production companies, designers or magazines to try and drum up business during slow times.

4. There’s always room for Improvement: You went to make -up school to get your foundation, but with time trends and techniques will need updating. Keep yourself on top of the latest innovations by attending trade shows, seminars and doing research as often as you can.

5. Determination is the Key: Cosmetics is a multi-billion dollar industry. There is a place for everyone who wants to be in this business. Whether it be a
make-up artist for film, or creator of your own make-up line, all is attainable with the right attitude. Believe in your career and what you have to offer and you are sure to be a success!
