If you\u2019re already skilled in <a href=\"\/2017\/02\/online-makeup-artist-certification-bridal-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bridal makeup<\/a>, you can make this a shining focus of both your social media content and your professional <a href=\"\/2020\/04\/avoid-these-4-rookie-mistakes-in-your-makeup-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">portfolio<\/a>.\n\nResearch popular wedding-related hashtags in your area, and incorporate them into your posts. This could easily help draw the attention of brides who have resumed researching into vendors and suppliers for their big day!\n\nDon\u2019t know much about bridal makeup? Then now\u2019s the perfect time to start learning! Begin your research, take an accredited makeup course that teaches bridal makeup, and practice on yourself as much as possible. Better yet, practice on any of your friends or family members who are willing to be your model!\n\n(Just make sure social distancing has been lifted first, or that you already live with this person in an immediate environment.

In the beginning, you may encounter some people who <em>want<\/em> to get their makeup done, but are still hesitant about coming into such close contact with strangers. One great way to combat this is to extend your sanitation practices to your appointment etiquette!\n\nFor example: for the first little while after social distancing rules have been revoked, maybe you can take extra care to always ensure that only you and your client are allowed to be in such close proximity to each other. Your business can have a maximum occupancy rules in effect, wherein only the client is allowed to attend their appointment.\n\nAlternately, if you\u2019re working in an environment where you can\u2019t escape there being more people around, you can set up some type of perimeter around your work space, so that others know not to come within 6 feet of you and your client while you do her makeup.\n\nThese are just suggestions, of course.

All we\u2019re saying is, if you can reassure your client from the very beginning that you have a safety plan in place to continue to keep her safe while working with you, she\u2019ll be much more willing to book![\/vc_column_text][\/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;][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<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reach_out_to_current_and_past_clients\"><\/span>Reach out to current and past 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]No, you don\u2019t need to touch base with each one of them individually.
