You probably are a millennial yourself (anyone born from 1982-2004 is!) so you know just how fickle millennials are\u2026 and how staunchly loyal they can be to any one beauty guru, trend, or brand. Read on below for our tips on dealing with millennials!\n<\/p><p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_Trends\"><\/span>Makeup Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><p>Not only do you have to be someone who can follow and apply the latest and great beauty trends, but you also have to be a trendsetter. Give them all something to talk about! The greatest thing about being a makeup artist is that you have your own creative freedom to do whatever you want and slay it.\n<\/p><p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Celebrity-makeup-artist.jpg\" alt=\"Beauty trends for a celebrity makeup artist\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Celebrity-makeup-artist.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Celebrity-makeup-artist-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<\/p><p>\nAllure recently did a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allure.com\/story\/millennial-beauty-poll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Millennial Beauty Poll<\/a> that gives you a look at just what kinds of trends are coveted by the generation with the greatest purchasing power. While not all your clients are millennials, that target demographic often sets the trends in the beauty market. Making sure that you\u2019re up-to-date and can respond to any crazy client requests is part of the job, so study up!\n<\/p><p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beware_Makeup_Hobbyists\"><\/span>Beware: Makeup Hobbyists!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><p>The beauty industry pops up in all aspects of our online and offline lives. Savvy youngsters are subject to information overload and pick up makeup and beauty knowledge without even knowing it! The problem is that you have to navigate a generation who thinks they know it all. It can be quite frustrating to do makeup on a client who is constantly parroting the tips and tricks they see on Instagram, and telling you how to do your job!\n<\/p><p>\nHow to show them who\u2019s boss?\u2014kidding, please be kind to them&#8230;but let them know that you are a trained professional! Lots of beauty tricks\u2014especially if they are color-specific\u2014aren\u2019t universal! Makeup tricks who work on one person may not work for another person with a different complexion and skin attributes!\n<\/p><p>\nRemember that video that showed you how to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qV57W0hZgxM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">red lipstick<\/a> to conceal under-eye circles? You can only use red for that type of color-correcting if you have dark skin! Don\u2019t be afraid to show off your knowledge.\nHow to use the digital age to your advantage\n<\/p><p>\nLiving in the digital age means you have access to something previous freelance makeup artists didn\u2019t have\u2014social media! Let\u2019s explore all the ways you can use social media as a new form of advertising for your career as a millennial makeup artist.\n<\/p><p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instagram\"><\/span>Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><p>Instagram is like every professional makeup artist\u2019s second portfolio. While we would never suggest using your Instagram as your sole point of contact and resume for potential clients, many a lucky Instagrammer have found success as real-life makeup artists after being noticed on the \u2018gram!\n<\/p><p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21712\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Instagram-makeup-artist.jpg\" alt=\"Become a makeup artist on instagram\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Instagram-makeup-artist.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Instagram-makeup-artist-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<\/p><p>\nShay Mitchell found her personal makeup artist on Instagram, in fact! Patrick Ta had no formal makeup artistry training, but after working behind a MAC counter and moving to LA, Shay herself stumbled onto his Instagram page, and the rest was history. Now, he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/07\/nathans-guide-working-celebrity-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worked with the likes of Ariana Grande, Olivia Munn, and Gigi Hadid<\/a>! You never know who might stumble onto your Instagram, so keep it current and professional.\n<\/p><p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_Beauty_Community\"><\/span>YouTube\u2019s Beauty Community<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><p>YouTube\u2019s beauty community has pumped out dozens of makeup mavens who have gone on to start their own makeup companies, work with big-name celebrities and become stars in their own right. With new trends rolling out all the time, you have to tap into the hyper-connectedness of your audience and use their ideas to catapult your business and career. Besides using YouTube as a platform to review products and create makeup tutorials you can also feed into current trends, secure sponsorships, and collaborate with other beauty gurus!\n<\/p><p>\nYou have a chance to build a loyal following on YouTube that may not have otherwise been possible. You\u2019re able to show off your personality along with your passion for makeup and skill in the art form\u2014if you can show them what you\u2019re made of, you\u2019ll have loyal fans who will support you through thick and thin. Your career will only reach new and higher heights!\n<\/p><p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternative_Brands\"><\/span>Alternative Brands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><p>Why not try venturing out and trying new brands that you can\u2019t even find in the department stores? You will find that alternative indie brands are popular for a reason! Whereas previous generations of women found a brand for all their cosmetic needs, nowadays people spread their loyalties for multiple brands and their respective products.\n<\/p><p>\nYour clients expect you to be in-tune with today\u2019s hippest trends. Millennial clients are always on the lookout for the next big thing. The worst thing that can happen with trying an alternative makeup brand\u2019s makeup is that you lost $20\u2026 and the best? You get to be one of the first to start recommending the products of these small-business brands that deserve more hype.\n<\/p><p>\nIf you\u2019re on-the-ball, you can strike up a mutually beneficial partnership and grow your business alongside theirs! What\u2019s more millennial than striking up a business deal on Instagram?\n<\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"cta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sold_on_using_social_media_to_boost_your_makeup_business_but_dont_know_what_to_post_Check_out_these_tips_on_producing_creative_social_media_engagement_posts\"><\/span>Sold on using social media to boost your makeup business, but don\u2019t know what to post?
