Being the business-savvy freelancer that you are, you\u2019ve probably already put together a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/11\/write-makeup-artistry-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contract<\/a> and had it signed by your client.

When it\u2019s time to restock your makeup kit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAs a freelancer, nothing is more gratifying than a giant shopping spree. After all, what\u2019s a better excuse for purchasing makeup than business? But it\u2019s always a struggle when multiple items in your makeup artist kit go kaput and you have to replace them all at once. You end up walking out of Sephora with a hella long receipt, but your bag only contains different shades of the same product. It just isn\u2019t satisfying!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_When_you_get_to_IMATS_to_purchase_that_perfect_nude_lipstick\"><\/span>5.

It can be frustrating if they tell <i>you<\/i> how to do <i>your<\/i> job with incorrect\/unsafe methods, but keep your cool! If they\u2019ve got something wrong, correct them and then share some insider tips and tricks straight from the horse\u2019s mouth. You\u2019re a professional, so it\u2019s time to show it.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_When_you_cant_find_that_one_product_to_pull_the_look_together\"><\/span>7.

Nothing is worse than being two steps from completing a look and not being able to find that tube of Ruby Woo lipstick you swore you\u2019d packed. It may not bother your clients, since they just see it as just another red lipstick, but we know the truth, and dang it, it hurts.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_When_your_makeup_client_doesnt_show_up\"><\/span>8. When your makeup client doesn\u2019t show up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nNot only is this rude, but this appointment might have made the difference between eating off the dollar menu at McDonalds or having groceries in your fridge. If you can, research your clients well beforehand to figure out if they\u2019re of the flighty variety, and maybe even charge a percentage before your appointment as a deposit. A girl\u2019s got to eat, right?\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_When_youre_doing_a_celebrity_shoot\"><\/span>9.

Especially if you\u2019re working on set for a photoshoot, sometimes the expectations between the faces you\u2019re working on and the team behind them are <i>very<\/i> different. Finding a balance is key. Most importantly, use your genius to make sure that your client feels good in his or her own skin.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_When_theres_no_in-between\"><\/span>10. When there\u2019s no in-between<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nOne of the toughest aspects of the freelancing life is having a schedule that\u2019s all over the place. You\u2019re either working on overdrive, or you have nothing to do for hours at a time. There never seems to be any middle ground! Working a steady shift would be nice, but you wouldn\u2019t trade working freelance for anything in the world\u2014even if it means you only get a break to eat when your clients do!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_When_the_client_doesnt_like_what_you_do_on_her_face\"><\/span>11.

Encourage them to speak up if they feel uncomfortable.
