Running your own business? Having control over your own makeup career? Sounds like you\u2019ve got the makings of a freelance makeup artist!\n\nFreelancing is the dream for many aspiring makeup artists. Freelance makeup artists get to choose their clients, control what they charge, and decide when (and how much) they work.

Many people think of freelance makeup artistry as a glamorous career, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/03\/how-to-become-a-celebrity-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">working with celebrities<\/a> and at red-carpet events. But this isn\u2019t the reality for most freelance artists. You can absolutely work your way up, if high-end events and luxury services are what you dream of, but that\u2019s not where you\u2019ll be starting out!\n\nFreelancing is a business, and like any business, starting out can be tough. A lot of your time will go towards marketing yourself through your website, social media, and email. You\u2019ll also have to spend some time dealing with things like bookkeeping and taxes (don\u2019t worry\u2014this isn\u2019t a daily activity!).\n\nThen there\u2019s the good stuff\u2014the actual makeup artistry! One of the perks of being a freelance makeup artist is the range of work you get to do. One day you might find yourself doing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2014\/06\/makeup-brittany-purple-eyeshadow-look-perfect-brides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">makeup for a bride<\/a> and her bridal party; the next, you might be creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2014\/10\/special-effects-makeup-sneak-peek-scratch-lesson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">special effects looks<\/a> for an indie film shooting in your city.\n\nHalloween looks, proms, weddings, fashion shows, TV, film, photo shoots\u2026 who knows what\u2019ll come your way? As a freelancer you can seek out work that interests you\u2014and turn down any jobs or clients that don\u2019t.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36905\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T105655.452.jpg\" alt=\"freelance makeup artist applying makeup for a styled shoot\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T105655.452.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T105655.452-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T105655.452-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T105655.452-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personality_Profile\"><\/span>Personality Profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe number-one trait you need to become a successful freelance makeup artist? An independent work drive! We said it before\u2014building your brand will take up a lot of your time, and it\u2019s something you\u2019ll have to keep working on throughout your whole career.\n\nIf you don\u2019t put yourself out there, you won\u2019t end up booking clients\u2014and when you\u2019re freelancing for a living, that\u2019s a major problem. A successful freelance makeup artist is one who\u2019s got the drive to keep their business going all on their own.\n\nPersistence is also important. It\u2019ll take a while for you to build your client base and get your name out there, and even then you\u2019ll still have to deal with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/06\/seasonality-in-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business seasonality<\/a>. This stuff is tough work. Sometimes you\u2019ll probably feel discouraged. Sometimes you might even want to give up. But a makeup artist who pushes through the tough stuff is setting themselves up for success!\n\nFreelance makeup artists also end up having to work long (and weird) hours, so you have to be ready to make the occasional sacrifice to your sleep schedule. Working for a bride who\u2019s having a morning ceremony? Expect to be up at four or five in the morning (on a weekend!) to get the wedding party ready. And if you\u2019re working a job that involves complicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/special-fx-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">special effects makeup<\/a>, you could be up even earlier. The plus side? You might be up early, but you\u2019re doing something you love!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T104717.753.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T104717.753.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T104717.753-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T104717.753-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-07-04T104717.753-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_There\"><\/span>Getting There<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nHow do you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2014\/09\/getting-started-freelance-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get started as a freelance makeup artist<\/a>? Well, unlike other professions, you can become a freelance makeup artist as soon as you decide that\u2019s what you want to do. Starting your own business means you\u2019re not stuck waiting for someone to decide to hire you as an employee.\n\nOnce you\u2019ve got a name, logo, and website, the real challenge begins: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/01\/get-hired-top-10-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">getting clients<\/a>! Many freelancers find themselves starting out with friends and family, sometimes even before they\u2019ve officially decided to make freelancing their career. You can also look for work on sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelmayhem.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Model Mayhem<\/a> or even Craigslist.\n\nBut a lot of your time will also go into building your reputation\u2014both on and offline. That includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2014\/08\/how-to-write-a-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blogging<\/a>, staying active on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/01\/the-busy-makeup-artists-guide-to-social-media-where-should-you-focus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social media<\/a>, posting gorgeous pictures from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/portfolio-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">portfolio<\/a>\u2014and, of course, doing your job well!
