How I Became A Makeup Artist: Tips For Beginners

[@gemkarsynblogspot8907]

Wow she gave me cold chills watching this video. At the moment I do makeup on myself and people are always complimenting me on my makeup, but I haven't had the courage to ever say that I want to be a makeup artist. I was so afraid until one day my cousin who does professional makeup said wow your makeup is beautiful! You should start a little gig and do people faces and I taught deeply about it. First thing came to mind, where will I ever start?! that was my biggest concern. but watching this video gave me a lot of confidence. I actually wanted to do Hair & Makeup. I care about my appearance a lot. But atm i'm in college aspiring to be a Project Manager. But this video gave me a lot of confidence. Thank you so much hun. GOD BLESS YOU!

[@A1shawty]

GemKarsyn BlogSpot I literally feel the EXACT same way!!

[@victoriagriffin8996]

your eyes are so beautiful, not just the color but the shape as well.

[@jaytaylor2090]

You stole my comment 🤣🤣🙁🙁!!

[@V211188]

Your eyes are hypnotic

[@AlaynaStovall]

I do my own makeup and I honestly learned from watching you and two other people when I first started out. It is VERY hard to try and do other peoples makeup, I think it's because of the fact that you might mess up, or at least that's how I feel. You're a big makeup inspiration to me and I hope one day I am as good as you are. I wanted to go to school for makeup but then I realized that it's really something natural that I love to do and I continued to push myself to be better at it. I always get compliments on my makeup so I hope one day I'll be as good as you.

[@natashabernard7497]

Through all the talking im so emotional..because i myself have no credentials to show im trqined,i actually learned alot by looking at you and a few others..and recently i did just one face for a wedding and post it to facebook next thing im getting text from all over to do makeup for weddings..this one lady is coming in from canada and asked me to do itbforntwo weddings in july..they say im so great even though i felt like i did'nt know what i was doing,the struggle is real,but as a top mua in my country told me in this business its what you could do rather than what papers you have..you have just inspired me to continue. .much love to you from trinudad and tobago

[@junepenny]

omggggg you are beautiful and I just watched a vid of yours with NO makeup and STILL looked as beautiful!!!!! stunning!!!!

[@JustMeika]

What a beautiful testimony. You definitely found your gift, or at least one of them. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing (:

[@taylortay2315]

This is one of the best how to videos I've seen. You are so real and genuine!! People believe that you can just go from A to Z with a snap and they don't realize that being a makeup artist is really such hard work. I've been doing freelnace makeup very part time for 6 years, while I still work full time at a call center. I finally am making the move to become a full timer after years of saving and paying lots of debt off. Seriously, your video almost had me in tears at how much you hustled to do what you love and I can't wait to be there as well!! Thank you and I adore your channel

[@TamikaDanielleTmodelMakeup]

You are truly an inspiration!! I am currently pursuing my dream of being a makeup artist. this video is awesome.. very informational, thankyou! ! I seen you on the Steve Harvey Show .. you are doing your thang!! May you have continued success in all endeavors:)

[@KLNArtistry]

I'm in tears, the end of this video spoke volumes to me.. about the products high and low end and people perception of your talent based on that. THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMATION. I WAS IN A STRANGE PLACE AND THIS VIDEO CONFIRMED MY KNOWING THAT GOD PLACED THIS BLESSING ON ME AND NOT TO BE DISCOURAGED BY NAYSAYERS. THANK YOU.

[@iamsheunleashed]

Would you mind doing an up to date video of becoming a makeup artist? I am just starting in my journey and would love any new information and experiences. This video was great!

[@missalex092]

I am seriously crying while watching this video! This is so inspirational! I'm an aspiring makeup artist and I'm trying to go to school and work and start my kit all while trying to get clients and network and its soooo hard and frustrating and right now and i feel so lost like I don't know where to begin, its like I can never get ahead but this video is EXACTLY what I needed. Your story has really helped me THANK YOU!

[@hgarcia8339]

I reallt like you, your so to the point and down to earth.

[@Dsolo990]

I have been searching high and low for information like this. Thank you so much. I recently finished beauty school and am looking to learn more about make up and wasnt quite sure where to start. You learn the bare basics in beauty school and it seems like no one wants to take the time to teach you or give you a chance. Thank you for restoring my hope and drive to keep going after what I love.

[@stephaniepaige4819]

this video is amazing. thanks so much for this, you're an inspiration.

[@Callmekeek]

lost my own place, lost my car and was stuck moving back into my parents place, and now i feel like im stuck.. and watching your video really inspired me to really work hard at my goal in being a makeup artist and really made me feel positive! and i have been stuck watching your videos all day. i really hope i get as far as you do

[@tearap2009]

You mentioned that you read Kevyn Aucoin books, what else would you recommend someone like myself who does not really know anything about makeup, but wants to dabble into it?

[@mandyallgood5480]

This video made me want to cry with relief! All my questions and anxiety you took care of. When you talked about being nervous at your first wedding I got nauseous. When you talked about fake it til you make it I felt empowered. I am lucky enough to have an amazing kit that I've collected over time..I lack confidence. Tomorrow i will start a profile on model mayhem and put up my 3 amazing photos of makeup on myself. Thank you!

[@Christian_Girl120]

I really like your eye makeup. You have beautiful eyes. too.

[@OLAmakeup1]

As a professional MUA for over 25 years and business owner i just want to say i never watch long videos often but yours my dear was so authentic!! I enjoyed your story very much. Id love to interveiw you for my new tribe iv created at Badass Beauty TV when we get live...until then thank you again for a wonderful share. Im all about supporting us all to have a better life and make a impact to others beauty needs..inside and out!

[@LeaRaesWay]

Ok....I've been beating myself up because last night I did my sister-in-law's makeup yesterday, and it came out HORRIBLE! I'm light skinned and she's dark skinned. She used her own foundation, which looked exactly like what they matched her with at MAC. Long story short, she just wound up looking ashy. I was soooooooo disappointed! I have spent SEVERAL hours since yesterday researching her skin complexion and getting some ideas on which foundations to try on her today. I'm going to do her makeup again today and use my own foundation choice, but now I just have anxiety about the whole situation. Thanks for sharing.

[@emyemyemyyyy]

How did it go? 😊

[@LeaRaesWay]

+Emy Anderson I don't know what MAC was thinking but my FitMe foundation was wayyyyyyy better!

[@kim4short2]

I love this video, I got my nail tech license and your story gave me the confidence to push past my fears and start doing sets until I get good. Thank you for being honest and open! You are a blessing!

[@Honeypepper.]

first impression - you look like Tammy from basketball wives Miami.

[@suenikssykes9540]

First and foremost I just want to say you're a Beautiful Woman and I'm Thankful for you sharing your story. I found this video to be such an inspiration to follow my passion without feeling discouraged or doubtful. We definitely have something in common "Fear at First" I love makeup and I'm comfortable with exploring different colors. My main focus is bringing attention to the eyes with different shades of eyeshadow. My intentions and goals is to own my own eyeshadow line and I believe starting out as an makeup artist can set the tone for a cosmetic line. I'm constantly asking friends and family to let me play with their face to gain more experience and to have pictures in the start of my portfolio, so far I've done a good job and still have a lot to master but with more practice and determination I will succeed. I'm always watching KZbin tutorials and follow a lot of makeup artist on Instagram and do understand by watching you and others has given me such a positive impact and influence on enhancing my skills that I'm Blessed with and I'm learning to teach myself to create my own signature to be able to stand out as well.

[@caitpetersen4810]

Your eyebrows are on fucking point.

[@harmonie2121]

Tatiana, you don't know how many times I've come back to this video for motivation. The bridal story is similar to my first make up job. I'm so happy for you and your success. I've learned so much from your videos and I'm working on building my kit and making a name for myself. Thank you for the inspiration. I look forward to meeting you one day. Beauty and The Beat is going to change my career. Much love and respect.

[@JennsCorner777]

you just earned a subscriber ;) thanks for being honest

[@Crownlake02]

Commenting at 4:22 because I have been eyeing you for a while, ever since I got into makeup. I stopped for a while to paint on canvases instead, but I'm coming back to it and then I see this video pop up and I know it's not coincidental. This is a bomb video , inspirational & insightful this far💗 thank you

[@Junerockstarrr]

You are an amazing makeup artist! honestly, one of my favourites on youtube. The thing that makes you different from others, other than being amazing at applying makeup, is that you come across as being really down to earth, professional and sincere! love your work!!!

[@salenasheppherd5679]

You are such a beautiful woman and your makeup looks fabulous! I greatly appreciate you sharing your story, it was very inspiring. My only question is have you ever attended any makeup artistry schools? And if so, for how long? Reason I ask is because I was told that I needed to be licensed or certified in order to become a professional makeup artist, but after listening to your testimony on how your talent alone is what opened doors of opportunity for you, I'm starting to think going to makeup school might not necessarily be a requirement..

[@Justanthonygreen]

Going to school isin't really a Requirement , Save your money lol !! Alot of techniques can be learned working at makeup Counters.

[@salenasheppherd5679]

Anthony Green MUA AWESOME!! So I would be better off investing that money into my freelance makeup kit then! Lol thank you for your feedback!

[@AnthonyCookMUA]

Anthony Green MUA you are so right and I experienced that even when you are supposed to have had education, many MUAs at counters or shops are not able to do a plain make-up right. At the end of the day it needs skill and experience to do good not just a make-up school...

[@Justanthonygreen]

Right , makeup school won't teach skill or experience, it takes time and practice.

[@salenasheppherd5679]

Anthony Green MUA Thank you so much!!

[@4rmthamidwest]

I literally watch this video right before every makeup gig that I have. Somehow it boosts my confidence. I've been into makeup for more than 5 years, completely self taught via youtube. Read books, blogs, worked for Sephora and MAC, wake up thinking about makeup, go to bed thinking about makeup. Built a pretty good kit with all the essentials and tools. But for some reason, I am still super nervous when I go out on gigs. Thank you for sharing your story, and helping other makeup artists. :-)

[@dominikaracz4102]

Beautiful eyes : )

[@ceeartistry3611]

From one MUA to another MUA, thank you SO MUCH for sharing your journey and for being so honest about it!

[@hairmaven77]

I love your information and realism! I've been a hairstylist for just shy of 13 years, and just started doing makeup at work. I love that you stated," doing makeup on yourself is so much different than doing it on others." I've said that same exact thing for the last few years of working at Ulta. Nowhere on my social media do I post that I'm a makeup artist, because I'm still learning and growing in this medium. My kit is growing as well, and that definitely takes time and money. It's an exciting journey and I'm interested to expand my craft and love for hair & makeup.

[@danielleclark209]

Thank you thank you! You have been my encouragement today. I've been an admin assistant for about 15 years and I'm so tired of being miserable! Between the economy and unfulfilling work life, I'm making a change to makeup artistry - I love it, its creative, but still work that I'm passionate about. You let me know I'm on the right track, just keep going, keep practicing, and be patient. Your "dues" certainly show. Bless you!!

[@Roxannehenri]

Oh wow you bring tears to my eyes,your are so human when you talk to the camera,you answers the question that i had in my head for so long. Thank you so much.

As a fellow makeup artist, please know I truly enjoyed listening to your journey of how you became a makeup artist. Naturally, as always your personal makeup is lovely...well done!

good for you girl! i love playing with makeup and have done a few faces but never thought i could make a living or part time thing out of it. great advice. thanks for sharing!

[@dohair6000]

I Thank You from the bottom of my heart for making this video. I have spoken to people and asked so many questions on how to get started. I keep feeling like if I don't go to Makeup School I won't learn correctly and want to give up at times. Some people have said yes, I need to go & others describe getting started like you did. I love Makeup so much. I'm already a Cosmetologist and now ready to move into the Makeup field. Thank You again for taking time to do this video. Have a Blessed Day!!

[@bellacynless]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I've been on my "freelance" version for several years now (10+) and recently just like you b/c of the economy I have re-directed myself into pursuing a career as a makeup artist. Very encouraging! Good to know that the journey or success doesn't happen overnight.

[@30isFAB]

Tatiana thank you for this video! I just started building my kit and doing the same thing you did and I have a great corporate career where I make really great money, but I have a passion for this. I now feel like I am not crazy and I am on the right path. I have been following you for a few months and I have seen your progress. You have encouraged me to keep doing faces and getting better! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

[@JustefabMakeup]

this was soooooo helpful, and encouraging. I am from the Bahamas and the makeup industry is very much saturated over here. I am trying to find my niche and I have to organize and restruct the entire thing again this is why I am going back to basics. I started about 4 years ago and I failed. I gave up. But I am ready to do it all over again. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Wow, thnks for the advice. I guess my situation is alot similar to yours. Atm im working part time doin bar work , ive never attended college bt I knew that ive always had a passion for makeup and the beauty industry, and nw ive jst enrolled to do a cert 2 in skincare, makeup nd retail, which is like a basics course online. Its def not an easy road nd yes we must pay our dues, bt id rather do somethn I love then just workin a job tht I dnt even enjoy doing.

I did my sister's makeup (2 of them), my mom, my grandma, and a couple of my friends. I never thought about becoming a makeup artist until someone at Rue 21 commented on my makeup and my sister's makeup. I knew how to do it but I wanted to do more. and I wanted to make a profit of it. but then I learned that I needed to go to school to do what I wanted to do.But I didn't want or need to go to school. bc KZbin is my school. watching you, Tatiana, is how I learned about makeup. and I have a cra

I have found that you come across as very authentic and extremely matter-of-fact. I am loving that, and if it is okay with you I will be referring to you videos as an inspiration to my clients who are battered women, with some being in recovery from drugs & alcohol. I believe that by viewing your videos and watching how you have grown through your work will help them apply some of these changes to their own personal situations

[@dopestlexi]

Girl, I watched one video and i fell in love. You are so humble and honest and down to earth. I completely relate to what you are saying and I have had many of the same experiences like working for free or doing practice makeup on whoever whenever. Ha and I dont know how many times people compliment my makeup, asking me "oh my god, is that MAC?" I just smile and respond, "Sweetie, I bought everything on my face from Walgreens" It truly is the talent and not the brand. New Fan!

[@troublelove]

Hey! Thanks for making this video. I first saw it, when it was first created, it's one of the strongest influences to help power me to become a certified makeup artist. (Years passed, many classes were taken), I wanted to come back and just say thank you for taking the time to create this video, and share all the knowledge you did. This video literally changed my life for the better. Hugs! And thank you again for being one of my personal inspirations.

[@rummyramz]

Thank you for this. I am in the corporate world current, but have been feeling very unhappy with it recently. Make-Up has always been my passion, and I want to start doing it again for people, but am gripped with fear and uncertainty. Ican relate to so many things you have said, with being terrible when we start out on other people, etc. But your words have given me a new-found strength to persevere. Thank you once again.

[@AnneKashKow]

I love you! You are sincere and are encouraging me, an up and coming photographer but lifelong make up artist to do what I've loved to do since I was 5...put make up on friends and myself. I held off for so long because my parents didn't want me to be another person's "Slave" at their beck and call. Amazing how parents try to "protect" their children when people have known since they were kids.

aside from the fact that your eyes are so gorgeous, you also have the charisma that made me sit for 17 minutes, and you are very well spoken! thank you for all the wonderful tips!!!

You're so inspirational, i'm 18 and i'm a huge makeup jungkie.

Luckily i got paid $30 from my first ever client, she also give me the sephora palette. I've been doing a few clients they all paid me well, and i'm so grateful for it. I'm not a professional makeup artist, just aspiring, but hopefully will be one soon. You're so lucky to worked at mac!

[@alwaysearchin]

thank you for doing this video. I know a lot of MUA and they like to pretend that it wasn't a struggle and that they live the fab life--but I know that isn't the case.

[@brighturuloki]

I've been considering becoming a makeup artist - I know a lot about skincare, about how skin reacts to products, and how colours work together. Mostly because I have crappy skin and a lot of art theory behind me. And because I am, frankly, a geek, which is an attitude and way of life, not a narrow area of interest. Thank you for doing this video; it's food for thought.

[@ailynlasvegas]

I completely get what you are saying!!!been doing make up on myself yrs obviously done friends & family members make up,have even taught what I know from experience and kevyn aucoin books..to be a make artist u gotta have the passion and vision and willing to learn and mess up to get it right

[@chokolatgurl]

I'm not a makeup artist, but I love what you said about having to fake it 'til you make it. I'm starting a business myself (I'm a graphic designer), so I've had the same feelings you talked about... not knowing what to charge off the top of your head and learning from doing (while convincing folks that you are amazing in the process lol). You're gorgeous, your work is beautiful, and I wish you the best of luck... now and in the future.

This is amazing and so encouraging! I have just started and am really quite nervous about just getting out there but it's great to know that it's not a strange place to be in. It will get better if I continue to work at it. Thanks so much!
