Becoming a reputable artist in your local industry means being equipped to work with clients from all different backgrounds. Many makeup artists make the mistake of not stocking makeup that is suitable for a diverse clientele. Don\u2019t be caught unprepared! Start by investing in palettes\u2014almost every area of makeup has palette options. Foundations, concealers, lip colors, eyeshadows, blush, etc.\u2014there are palettes readily available for them all![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1639754687892{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]Let\u2019s use foundation palettes as an example. Foundation palettes have a range of shades from fair to deep while also offering a variety of warm, cool, and neutral undertones. Many makeup artists make the mistake of not stocking makeup that is suitable for a diverse clientele. But it is possible to be inclusive in your makeup services with a cream foundation palette. An added plus? The lighter and darker shades can be used to create dimension on the face\u2014 subtle highlighting and contouring without having to invest in any additional products![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The ultimate perk of having a palette? Once you\u2019ve trained your eye for color, you\u2019ll be able to mix your own custom blend. The 20 some-odd colors in a foundation palette aren\u2019t a catch-all and adjustments need to be made. Beyond color, you can also adjust the coverage. Cream foundations usually offer medium-full coverage. This means you can build on the coverage or sheer it out using moisturizer. When you have so many different ways to play with a single product, it\u2019s up to you to get creative![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_Your_Clients\"><\/span>Know Your Clients!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1639754694924{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]You\u2019ll start to notice a trend in your clients\u2019 application requests. Yes, for special occasions like prom, pack some shimmery shades in your kit. But most clients will request neutral and smoky eye looks. The majority of your shadows should be a spectrum of neutral, matte shades. Sure, you could build a smoky eye using just shimmery shadows, but glitter doesn\u2019t translate well on the crease work![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1639754700733{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]Good, blendable matte eyeshadows are notoriously difficult to find. Sometimes they\u2019re chalky, other times they apply patchy. At this point, you probably think you\u2019ll have to scour the shelves of Sephora to find the best shadows at the lowest price. Here\u2019s where your expert research skills come in.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you take the time to do your research, you can find some affordable products online from indie brands. Makeup Geek has an impressive collection of matte shadows that sell for just $6 a pop! You won\u2019t have the luxury of swatching them, but you can see how well they perform by watching the reviews of other gurus. This goes for every single product on your kit.
