So many makeup junkies want to break into the industry. Some are born to be artists; others have enough potential to develop their skills and succeed as a pro. Let\u2019s be honest, though: not everyone has what it takes. It\u2019s a hard pill to swallow, but knowing when to cut your losses and move on can save you a lot of time. Not to mention money and emotional distress!\n\nIf you\u2019re considering a career in makeup artistry, read this post before shelling out thousands of dollars on makeup in the name of your dream.

Many people want to enter the makeup industry just to make a quick buck. The saturation of makeup artists on YouTube and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/06\/instagram-new-makeup-artists-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a> who\u2019ve found success in sponsorships and cross-promotions make it seem like an easy journey. However, it\u2019s actually incredibly hard to get there. Because of over-saturation, it\u2019s harder to stand out from the variety of gurus and personalities on these platforms.\n\nMany MUAs spend years on YouTube just to climb to 30,000 subscribers. And this success still may not be enough for them to live solely off of YouTube\u2019s paycheck. But guess what? If you truly have a passion for makeup, nothing is too difficult to prevent you from enjoying what you do. The grind isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. But if you love makeup, at least you\u2019re practicing your craft while you climb the ladder of success.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_You_think_makeup_artistry_doesnt_involve_a_startup_cost\"><\/span>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You think makeup artistry doesn\u2019t involve a startup cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAll those online makeup gurus you see with their free high-end makeup? Yeah, good luck securing any of those press packages if you don\u2019t have a large online following.\n\nJust like any occupation, you\u2019re going to need to invest in your career. That means paying for a makeup course to get professionally certified. After that, you\u2019ll need to finance a business license along with all the makeup you need for a versatile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/05\/makeup-building-a-professional-makeup-kit-based-on-your-makeup-artist-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">professional makeup kit<\/a>. Your own personal tools won\u2019t cut it. They only suit <em>your<\/em> features. What about all the different clients who walk through the door? The initial start-up cost can be huge, but there are ways you can save some money without sacrificing a quality education and makeup kit.\n\nConsider taking a makeup course that includes a starter kit that has everything (or close to everything) you need to complete your training. The best part of enrolling in schools that provide kits? The products are specifically selected to help you with your practical assignments. The makeup you receive is exactly what you need!

Just like hairdressers, makeup artists provide a technical service while becoming everybody\u2019s confidant. If you don\u2019t have the patience to listen to your clients, how on earth are you going to provide good service?\n\nEven the most difficult clients deserve your attention. Constant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/10\/best-practices-for-good-client-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">client communication<\/a>\u00a0ensures that both parties don\u2019t waste their time. Just because you think that smoky cat-eye suits your client doesn\u2019t mean they agree. Working with diverse clients is part of the job. Everyone has a different preference for how they like to look. If you can\u2019t listen well and be empathetic, you\u2019ll crash and burn.\n\nAnd don\u2019t forget about all the networking you need to do. You can\u2019t avoid it! Securing makeup discounts, loyal clients, and meaningful connections with others in your local biz can only be done with a firm handshake and a warm smile.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_You_crave_structure\"><\/span>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You crave structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAre you the type of person who always shows up late to doctor\u2019s appointments? If you need structure and struggle with staying organized\u2026 sorry to say this, but you\u2019ll \u00a0fail as a freelancer. Being your own boss and working weird hours is part of the job. The whiplash of working a 4 hour day followed by a 13 hour day is normal. But if you value an 8-hour work schedule, then makeup artistry is not for you!\n\nYou need to have a great sense of organization! Otherwise, the business aspect of this career could blindside you. To book clients, you need to schedule them with the appropriate amount of time for each appointment. If you\u2019re booking back-to-back appointments, you\u2019ll need to factor in travel time and costs as well as time to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/11\/10-makeup-hygiene-no-nos-that-will-make-you-cringe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> sanitize your tools<\/a>.

From clients who are angry about your late service to those who may contract an eye infection from your appointment. These aspects of the job are as important as your artistry, so get your act together!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Details_arent_your_thing\"><\/span>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Details aren\u2019t your thing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhat\u2019s the difference between a novice and an expert? The amount of time, care, and attention they put into their craft. Simply having all the tools isn\u2019t enough. You need to practice how to use each product in the best way possible. Here\u2019s an example: You\u2019ve managed to get your hands on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/shimmering-skin-perfector-pressed-P381176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champagne Pop<\/a>, but do you know where to put it? It\u2019s not just the cheekbones! How about the Cupid\u2019s bow, the bridge of the nose, under the brow, and the lower center of the forehead? Even then, you\u2019d need to adjust the highlight location depending on your model\u2019s complexion and features.\n\nTraining your eye and making sure that you\u2019re continuously learning is how you become competitive. Take the time to study how light interacts with people\u2019s different features. Don\u2019t be fooled by the dark and heavy full-coverage Instagram makeup trends. These looks are heavily photoshopped to work for the Instagram camera. They don\u2019t translate well into real life. Your portfolio should reflect makeup looks you\u2019ll actually see in the industry. You\u2019ll also want it to be an accurate reflection of your skill. If details aren\u2019t your thing, then you really shouldn\u2019t become a makeup artist!\n\nDo you have other reasons we didn\u2019t cover?
