HOW TO BECOME A FREELANCE MAKEUP ARTIST | PRICES + WHAT I CARRY IN MY KIT! ohmglashes

[@sarahdee6838]

So for eye shadows, you can actually spray them with rubbing alchohol and it actually doesn't change the composition of the powder at all. You just wait for it to dry and BOOM sanitized 🤗

[@iuv4enzo]

what?! thank you so much!

[@TarynRMartin]

Yes! 70% isopropyl alcohol is a life saver. 💖

[@florasarkisian2876]

99% alcohol

[@kimberlycisneros4332]

That’s what I do with mine! 😁

[@alana1119]

@@florasarkisian2876 from what I know, from more advanced makeup artists, 70 is better bc it takes longer to dry and in that process, it will kill more bacteria

[@staceyslaysdragons691]

If I were a client I wouldn't mind what products are used I just want to look good! I agree with what you said. The client is paying for your time and skill, not what brand of products you use.

[@BrendaLovee15]

Can you make a video on how to color match foundations? Maybe have someone with light, medium AND deep skin tones 😬 so we can see step by step. Please & thank you 😁😁

[@estefanyjasso8542]

Thank you so much for making this video ❤️ I've really been struggling lately financially while going to school and always have my family and even strangers ask if I do makeup or that I should do it. I'm scared honestly of doing a horrible job on other skin tones and texture but I recently did my boyfriend's mom's makeup and she loved it 😅 now I'm really thinking I should practice on a few more people and just take the plunge and do it to help me out 🤑 I just really need some help starting out and this is it. Hopefully it works out and I can actually do something I love while becoming financially independent.

[@lotosczerwony8659]

You can start by saving up for buying things for your kit one by one(put a max budget each months from your saved up money from your pocket money/allowance) , starting with some tools. The last one is products that did not last longer or liquid and cream products. You can learn from watching some videos first and do makeup for your friends' to practice on. Do not forget to take pictures to see any progress and well, you can ask aroubd some insights from your friends' how does it look and what you can improve from it. When you get the basic knowledge on makeup application, you can start looking for makeup schools that also provide financial aid or financial loan. Start researching by now so you will know what you want to do after. I recommend these youtubers who also PRO MUA, and not "beauty influencers" : Angie Di Battista (who you will learn about what to do to be a pro MUA), Monica Blunder, Robert Welsh, Wayne Goss, Lisa Eldridge, Mathias4makeup, HarryDoesMakeup, etc.

[@MissCupcakeslover]

@@lotosczerwony8659 this is great advice, thank you!

[@tanyasknittingexperiencepo6786]

Hey I went to school for makeup artistry and my program was six months / self paced . It depends on faced you passed the course exams and did you hands on training. you go over a hygiene course to learn how to sanitize brushes, pallets and the expiration date of foundation and concealer. you can sanitize eye shadow pallets, with 100% or 90% alcohol. I have a spray bottle mist your shadow let it dry take a cotton round and wipe that layer off . I hope this helps 💜

[@TaylaMarie777]

Your gap is so pretty!!! Absolutely because you're so pretty but it makes you look uniquely beautiful 😍 😊

[@lotosczerwony8659]

I am so glad that someone actually use LA pigments for foundation tips! 😍 I saw a lot of MUAs carry a lot of bottles of foundations and seeing them went through a lot of problems with how they organize their things and how they struggle with it is insane. I keep my liquids in 4 shade ranges in muji bottles, well depoted. I also keep one foundation pallete, MUFE Flash Pallete, and LA pigments in those same four shades as well .... and that's all🤣 Thank you for teaching us the tips! Hopefully more MUA will carry the tips well because we all know how heavy our kit is 😅

[@josiea7219]

can you please make a video on must haves or products you recommend for building your makeup kit?? i’ve recently started working with someone else doing makeup but i have just been using her products, but i would really love to start building up my own kit

Thank you for the video, and all the help. Can you make a video going into detail on the different looks and why it is priced the way it is. Such as a soft glam is whatever amount because of whatever it includes or a natural look is whatever for whatever that may include?

[@CourtneyCottoncandyx]

Do you have a tutorial on this makeup look? Stunning! It’s very fresh bridal & im obsessed!

[@wendywittenmyer7074]

I’m very surprised you charge just $75. I had my wedding last September and the most affordable I could find was 185 dlls, plus 25 dlls for a travel fee. Most makeup artists start at 250 here in Dallas. I also had makeup done for a boudoir session and my engagement pictures. The best was the boudoir session makeup. I guess how much you charge depends on your market and target audience. Thank you for the tips ❤

[@veronicatomas5923]

Omg you have helped so much I'm looking forward to become a freelance makeup artist but, to be honest, I am a little nervous and scared about it but watching your video has been so helpful.

Have you ever had someone who wants help to find the right shade and a light makeup routine? I reached out to a makeup artist near me to help me figure out the routine and makeup combo to use. We might have to go shopping i probably need new shade foundation. And how would the makeup artist charge for this.

[@anaborruel9071]

When you are finished with your client’s makeup do you let them keep the lipstick or lipgloss you used on them? I’m just wondering because I’m sure eventually they’ll need a touch up or reapply? I was wondering about that scenario, I’m not sure what most makeup artist do. Lmk so I can do the same!

[@bettinaorevil5056]

That’s a great question! 1 time my Mua let me have the lipstick she used on me because it was almost done 😅but they usually don’t

A lot of brands reach out to you once you start a bigger following. Unfortunately they don’t send PR to smaller influencers 😕 but you can always reach out to them! Put yourself out there!

How do you get free makeup

[@elizabethsaldana4913]

omg I’m really suffering, I’m starting as a free lance MUA and first people get so excited and contact me, ask me for dates even book an appointment and in the last minute cancel!!!. I am really frustrated, I had a client who works applying botox and fillers and she said that’s so Miami, still it doesn’t relief me

[@wenmotivar]

one thing you can do is charge a small amount of money before the appointment to ensure they come, and give it back once they comply

[@Melaniegar]

Yes girl put a non refundable deposit fee to protect for no shows or last minute cancels

[@hotkristaleice]

Nice video and advice. Are your clients bridal or prom girls? . In nyc makeup artists charge a lot more... years ago when i needed one for my wedding, ..they want minimum $300-500 ( just bridal makeup), but for that they do both makeup AND hair, which they finish in two to three hours. A lot also tend to want you to have a whole entourage of bridesmaids, ensuring they have at least 3, 4 or 5 girls before they even want to come onsite to your house or hotel... I guess pricing varies state to state?

[@pamvaldes853]

NYC does charge a lot more, I charge 175 for the trail if it’s a bridal party it will be 200 for the bride and 150 for each bridesmaid. It all depends, out of my MUA friends I’m the cheapest they charge 200 & up and are fully booked everyday. So again I think it depends on the area

[@TarynRMartin]

Thanks for all the tips. But, girl. You have to sanitize everything, including powders. Spraying 70% isopropyl alcohol on your pallets keeps everything safe, without damaging your products.

[@rosemarieamanzio4999]

keep in mind that you don't have to be licensed to do make up, however, it is illegal for someone who is not a licensed esthetician to touch the face with your bare hands. Implements and brushes must be used at all times.

[@sarahbatchelor5387]

Please please please sanitize your eyeshadow pallets! Get some alcohol and spray them once you are done to sanitize

[@floorgang1609]

Take a shot every time she says "personal"

[@Lisicasrb]

65$ it is not ,, wow ,, it is very cheap . You should charge more ! People have money . If they spend at the restaurant 3 times a day sometimes 40$ each time . Sure they have money to get make done for special occasion. People on Russia charge 80$+ For USA it is extremely cheap

[@pamvaldes853]

I think it depends where you live, I’m from nyc the cheapest out here will probably be 85. I’m a pro makeup artist for the last 5 years and I charge 150 if it’s at my home. To go to a clients home it’s 200. Most of my friends that do makeup charge 200 and up.

[@Lisicasrb]
