The smoky eye<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWe\u2019re starting with one of the most common, and most challenging, looks out there. You can be sure that each client you work on will be familiar with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2013\/08\/everyday-smokey-eye-makeup\/\">smoky eye<\/a> (and the glamorous feeling that come with it). After all, it\u2019s a technique sported by celebrities on a regular basis! The great thing about a smoky eye &#8211; besides the fact that it\u2019s absolutely stunning when created properly &#8211; is that there\u2019s more than one way to create it.\n\nYou certainly don\u2019t need to stick to gray when it comes to your client\u2019s look \u2013 smoky eye makeup can be achieved using plums, browns, or blues. Since this is a dramatic makeup look, it\u2019s best to keep the rest of the client\u2019s face more muted, and let their eyes be the focal point. Keep this look in your portfolio (even better, keep variances of this look too), and you\u2019ll have clients lining up for your studio!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_A_natural_makeup_look\"><\/span>2. A natural makeup look<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nDuring your career as a makeup artist, you\u2019ll quickly discover that no two clients are alike. However, all clients want to know that their makeup artist can apply makeup that looks as though they\u2019re not wearing anything at all!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35205\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121023.569.jpg\" alt=\"natural makeup look\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121023.569.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121023.569-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121023.569-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121023.569-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nWhile natural makeup may sound simple, it\u2019s anything but! There is a good deal of skill required to allow natural beauty to shine through a full-face of makeup. It begins with an understanding of how to cleanse the skin, apply foundation, and correct imperfections \u2013 all of which are learned in makeup artistry courses.\n\nProfessional makeup training is an excellent way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/04\/portfolio-building-101-taking-makeup-classes-online\/\">build your portfolio<\/a> (and your skill-set!), as you\u2019ll be completing hands-on assignments that you can snap photos of and use as part of your showcase.\n\nThe basics to keep in mind when creating a natural makeup look are to create a good base by using a sponge to apply foundation, hide imperfections with concealer, and stick to matte powder and eyeshadow to complete the look. Ultimately, you want to enhance your clients\u2019 beauty in the most organic way possible. Adding this skill into your portfolio will convince potential clients of your ability to bring out their natural beauty &#8211; which is a huge selling point for certified makeup artists!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Bridal_makeup\"><\/span>3. Bridal makeup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhile wedding makeup is a pretty specific look, it will undoubtedly appeal to a large group of clients in your portfolio. We recommend customizing your portfolio as much as possible, which means having separate sections for bridal, editorial, and theater makeup (you never know what your clients will be looking for!). Having a classic bridal look in your portfolio as you begin your career is always a smart choice.\n\nKnowing your way around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/07\/bridal-makeup-airbrush-not-airbrush\/\">an airbrush machine<\/a> and understanding how to use primer and foundation are extremely valuable skills. You may find that while creating a smoky eye look for a client, they\u2019ll mention a newly engaged friend in the market for a bridal makeup artist. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain new clients, as word-of-mouth can travel quickly when it comes to the makeup industry.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121318.935.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121318.935.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121318.935-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121318.935-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-11T121318.935-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nBeing able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/02\/online-makeup-artist-certification-bridal-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create bridal makeup looks<\/a> on top of your other services is a huge leg up on the competition. So, be sure to include looks that feature light eyeshadow, pearly pink lips, and flawless skin in your makeup portfolio to target more wedding clientele!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_An_editorial_look\"><\/span>4. An editorial look<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAll makeup artistry portfolios can benefit greatly from at least one editorial look! We\u2019re talking about creative makeup that is meant for publication, either in magazine spreads or on runway \u2013 sounds exciting, doesn\u2019t it?\n\nEditorial makeup, like all the looks featured in your portfolio, will require you to sell a particular look, or product &#8211; so you\u2019ll need to focus on one or two elements (for example, eyes and lips). A major element of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/08\/master-makeup-artistry-course-sample-editorial-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">editorial makeup<\/a> is the ability to listen to a client, brand, photographer, or art director, and build a look for them. By including an editorial look in your makeup portfolio, you\u2019re showing potential clients that you can follow instructions and are willing to get creative!\n\nYou\u2019re likely thinking that it won\u2019t be possible to create an editorial look without holding a professional photo shoot. While this is mostly true, participating in a styled shoot as a makeup artist is very doable \u2013 you can even organize one yourself!\n\nCheck out our full guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/01\/building-your-makeup-artist-portfolio-participating-in-a-styled-shoot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taking part in a styled shoot her<\/a>e, and know that you\u2019ll not only have the chance to network with photographers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/08\/add-hair-styling-makeup-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hair stylists<\/a>, and other makeup artists, but you\u2019ll end up with professional, portfolio-ready photos afterwards.

Focused applications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIn addition to the four makeup looks mentioned above, it\u2019s important to have specific examples of eyes, lips, and entire faces in your portfolio.

Your customers will need to see your attention to detail and flawless finishes at a glance.\n\nAs a rule of thumb, keep two close-up photos of eyes, two of lips, and two of finished faces to show your range of technique.
