Everyone always calls on you to do their makeup on a night out. Your contouring skills would put every Kardashian to shame! But just because you THINK you\u2019re a pro with a makeup brush, doesn\u2019t mean clients will think so. \n\nBut really\u2014why would someone go with a trained makeup artist when they can have an amateur guess at a foundation match? Having to charge clients way below industry standards because of MIA certification is better than nothing at all\u2026 \n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dont_develop_your_client_base\"><\/span>2. Don\u2019t develop your client base<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYou\u2019ve heard that building up a solid reputation is the secret to booking clients.  So, if you want to make sure that your career in makeup artistry grinds to a halt, better stay invisible! Those cute business cards? You don\u2019t need them! Make sure no one knows you\u2019re a trained makeup artist! Eventually people will come to you, right? \n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Create_a_portfolio_that_only_consists_of_selfies\"><\/span>3.

It&#8217;s true that Instragram shots are an amazing way of building up an online presence.  But who cares if no one can refer you for a paid job because you don\u2019t have any nice close-up shots of your work? Offering your makeup services free in exchange for a professionally styled shoot sounds like a bad trade off. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/portfolio-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Portfolios<\/a> are super important, so make sure that you&#8217;re devoting some time to showing off your best work!\n \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Give_your_client_a_look_they_dont_want\"><\/span>4.

But you have other things in mind. I mean an earth-toned eye? Nope.  You\u2019ve been saving those Black Velvet Feather false eyelashes from Shu Uemura forever, and this is the moment! She needs them. She just doesn\u2019t it know yet. \n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Be_unhygienic_and_unorganized\"><\/span>5. Be unhygienic and unorganized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nGo ahead. Drag that brush across a palette one more time. Don\u2019t bother spritzing your lipsticks with any sanitizer! And eventually traces of last week\u2019s work will smear away onto someone else. Leftover bronzer creates dimension, anyway!\n\nIn the meantime, if a client does come down with a case of pink eye, there\u2019s no way anyone can prove it came from your handiwork! News of a makeup artist\u2019s grimy tools doesn\u2019t travel <i>that<\/i> fast. \n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Dont_stay_up-to-date_on_new_techniques\"><\/span>6.

You\u2019ve been meaning to check it out. Ok, chances are five, maybe ten, people will ask you about it this month. But why not just improvise on something else.

And don\u2019t even think about internships.  Your last unpaid freelance work at your sister\u2019s wedding will still count as relevant work experience five months from now! \n\nUntil then keep on applying to employers that specifically indicate they want professional experience. It\u2019s not like anyone learns anything important about client interaction during their first year on the job! \n\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Ready to learn how to transform your love of all things makeup into a career?
