Well, from the client end, the process is fast, simple, and\u2014according to some women\u2014even fun.

Like salons, the app takes a cut of the earnings\u2014that\u2019s just the price you have to pay to avoid running your own business. The app deals with all the business-y stuff like advertising and booking, leaving you free to spend more time actually doing makeup.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630348134977{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]The problem is, you\u2019re still a freelance makeup artist, and many makeup artists say those rates won\u2019t really cut it for freelancers (not when Glamsquad is eating up some of those fees, anyway). You\u2019ve got a pricey kit to cover, after all\u2014not to mention your basic living expenses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Competition\"><\/span>The Competition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630348249744{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]One of the great things about being a freelance makeup artist is being able to set your own rates. Obviously, you can\u2019t just pick whatever rate you want and run with it. Do you want to charge $600 for a basic makeup application? Go for it\u2014but don\u2019t expect to land many clients![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630348257247{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]This is where market research comes into play. You\u2019ll want to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/05\/how-to-price-your-makeup-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">set your rates<\/a>\u00a0competitively, based on what other makeup artists in your area charge. Price yourself too high and you\u2019ll have trouble getting clients. But price yourself too low and it\u2019s bad news for your area\u2019s makeup artistry industry. You won\u2019t be earning much yourself, and you\u2019ll drive down the pricing standard for other makeup artists.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630348270839{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]Unfortunately, between the pricing and the simplicity, Glamsquad can make it hard for you to compete. Once an app starts to dominate the industry with its pricing standards, you\u2019ll find yourself with less flexibility in determining your own makeup artist\u2019s salary.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Travel\"><\/span>The Travel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630348290679{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]Glamsquad might charge rates and take cuts comparable to salons, but its makeup artists certainly aren\u2019t working in salon conditions. A big part of the appeal of this service is that the hairstylists and makeup artists come right to the client. Of course, makeup artists are responsible for covering their own travel costs, which cuts into their earnings even more.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630348297807{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]Travelling from location to location also means burning time on travel that could have been spent fitting in an extra appointment or two at a salon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Career_Prospects\"><\/span>The Career Prospects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630348315983{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]If you work at a salon or makeup counter, experience and hard work can earn you promotions.
