Be attentive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nListen more than you talk. Talking to your client during the consultation is important, but it is even more important that you develop the ability to actively listen. When a makeup artist talks too much, they don\u2019t leave much room for the client to express all their wants, needs, and concerns. Of course, there should be a cordial and warm greeting, but beyond that a makeup artist should guide their client with open-ended questions that encourage them to freely share all of their wants and needs.\n\nDuring the application, the conversation should be lead entirely by the client. Yes, you should ask questions as needed, to ensure their goals are met, but too much unwanted conversation can take away from how relaxing and enjoyable the process can be. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Use your ears twice as often as your mouth!\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36784\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T133327.539.jpg\" alt=\"makeup artistry application\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T133327.539.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T133327.539-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T133327.539-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T133327.539-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Keep_it_professional\"><\/span>2. Keep it professional<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nProfessional composure. Few things are more unsettling than talking to someone who seems preoccupied, distracted, or elusive. To ensure client trust and satisfaction, there are several things you should always do. First, maintain gentle eye contact. When you don\u2019t look at someone when you are speaking, or being spoken to, it can create a very uncomfortable dynamic.\n\nIt is also important that you don\u2019t fidget. Fidgeting can convey anxiety and that can make it very difficult for your client to relax. Lastly, keep a calm tone. When you are calm and professional, that comes through to your client and it is contagious.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Create_a_sense_of_order\"><\/span>3. Create a sense of order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nPreparation. Before your client sits down, have the room fully set up. Having your makeup and tools neatly aligned on your table creates a great first impression. If you scrabble to do this when they arrive, it is not ideal for creating a calm and welcoming environment. The more you can have done before they arrive, the more professional you will appear.\n\nThere are times when this can be difficult or impossible, especially if you are going to a client\u2019s home, dressing room, or hotel room. However, on location visits can easily be solved. When the client books you, simply alert her that you need twenty minutes to set up prior to application.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Deliver_on_your_work\"><\/span>4. Deliver on your work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nCreate realistic expectations. Never make a promise to your client that you cannot keep. During a consultation, it is wise to assure your client that you will enhance their key features while minimizing any that they have expressed concerns over.\n\nIt is unwise to promise that you will make anything disappear, because that would create unrealistic expectations. When you promise perfection, they will expect it. And sometimes what clients really want cannot be accomplished with makeup alone.\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T132954.345.jpg\" alt=\"bridal makeup artistry\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T132954.345.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T132954.345-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T132954.345-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-06-25T132954.345-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Set_high_hygiene_standards\"><\/span>5.

If your tools are clean and you make ample use of hand sanitizer, your client will notice.\n\nAnd whether or not they say it out loud, they\u2019ll be thanking you on the inside.
