If you haven\u2019t read it yet, it\u2019s a good place to start!\n\nIf you\u2019re still struggling to come up with a makeup artist business name, there are some definite faux-pas that we can help you avoid.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Read on to find out more about avoiding clich\u00e9s when naming your makeup business.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;accent-color&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;75&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;39250&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#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; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Common or Overused Words<\/h3>\nTry to steer clear of words that are commonly associated with the makeup industry.\u00a0 Or at the least, before you use one of these words, be sure to do a thorough competitive analysis of other makeup artists in the area. You want to identify (and avoid!) these common words if they are overused in the industry where you live and work. Some potentially problematic words include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Beautiful<\/li>\n \t<li>Charming<\/li>\n \t<li>Dazzling<\/li>\n \t<li>Divine<\/li>\n \t<li>Elegant<\/li>\n \t<li>Glamorous<\/li>\n \t<li>Graceful<\/li>\n \t<li>Lovely<\/li>\n \t<li>Perfect<\/li>\n \t<li>Pretty<\/li>\n \t<li>Radiant<\/li>\n \t<li>Stunning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAll these words are very common when describing makeup and thus are likely also overused in makeup artist names in your area.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing overly wrong with using a common word in your business name, but do think long and hard about whether it\u2019ll cause you headaches![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;39246&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][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; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#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; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Misspellings<\/h3>\nAccidental misspellings in a business name are inexcusable.\n\n<em>Intentional <\/em>misspellings in an effort to be \u201cclever\u201d are scarcely better and a definite clich\u00e9! Spelling it \u201cguyz\u201d or \u201cstunnin\u2019\u201d will simply come off as cheesy and overdone to most potential customers.\u00a0 So unless \u201ccheesy\u201d is the brand identity you\u2019re going for\u2026 or you\u2019re opening a cat caf\u00e9 named \u201cpurrrcolation\u201d <em>(dibs!)<\/em>, give some serious thought about whether you want those words in your business name.\n<h3>Trendy Terms<\/h3>\nNaming your makeup business based on something \u2018trendy\u2019 at the time is probably not the wisest move\u2026 because trendy things aren\u2019t trendy for long! Imagine having a business named \u201cMakeup on Fleek\u201d.\u00a0 That <em>may<\/em> have been trendy and super clever back in 2015, but today that business name would seem wildly out of date and just plain odd to most people.\n\nAlso, you risk confusing your customers if they don\u2019t understand the reference of your trending at-the-moment makeup business name. So consider your audience. You might unintentionally end up sounding very young or inexperienced. So tread lightly here!\n\n<strong>Exception:<\/strong> Some \u201ctrendy\u201d terms are ageless and <em>could<\/em> make for good business names <em>if<\/em> it relates directly with your brand.\u00a0 For example, the term \u201cgroovy\u201d peaked in trendiness in the \u201860s, but it\u2019s a common enough term even today that people still relate to it.\u00a0 If your makeup business focuses on period makeup artistry, using \u201cgroovy\u201d in your business name could be a viable option for you.\n<h3>Trademarked Names<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;39248&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][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; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#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; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]In an episode of \u201cDragon\u2019s Den\u201d a few years back, there was a group of women who tried to pitch the Dragons on an all-women-run car repair shop called \u201cMs. Lube\u201d.\u00a0 What a great idea, right!\n\nThe problem right off the bat was with the business name. One of the Dragons at the time was Walter James Treliving, Owner and Chairman of (among other things) \u201cMr. Lube\u201d shops.\u00a0 As you can imagine, that pitch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/player\/play\/2384263607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">did not go over well<\/a>.\n\nYou might think that as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/09\/how-to-become-a-makeup-artist-in-a-small-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">small makeup business<\/a>, you\u2019re able to skirt the lines a little and maybe piggyback on another brand\u2019s trademarked identity to help your own business stand out.\u00a0 MAC is a huge makeup chain! Would they <em>really<\/em> care if you used those three letters as an acronym for your single-woman makeup artistry business in SmallTown, USA \u2026 and maybe also used a similar logo?\u00a0 After all, what harm will it do them?\n\nYou bet they will care.\u00a0 MAC worked long and hard to develop their brand and they (rightly) want full control over how it\u2019s used, portrayed, and perceived. This is exactly why trademark laws exist! If MAC ever finds out what you\u2019re doing, you\u2019re in for a costly legal battle that you\u2019re going to lose. Why take the risk?\n\nWhat\u2019s more, your clients will care!\u00a0 If you have talent and a good business model, you don\u2019t need to pretend to be associated with a big brand if you\u2019re not. In the example above, clients would likely assume you\u2019re actually somehow affiliated with MAC. They might think you\u2019re a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/07\/get-certified-mac-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MAC Makeup Artist<\/a>.\u00a0 Once they find out you\u2019re not and instead are just using the brand capital to benefit your own business, your clients will not be happy.\n\nNaming your makeup business can be really hard!\u00a0 By following best practices and not falling into the clich\u00e9 pitfalls we discussed today, you can start a business on the right foot with every chance of making it a huge success.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 class=\"cta\">Would you like to hear more tips on naming your makeup business?
