Prioritize paying jobs.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Even if makeup is your passion, keep in mind that it&#8217;s also what pays the rent! I still do unpaid collaborations and editorials with photographers, but I secure my <em>paid<\/em> work first.\n\nAdmittedly, when first starting your career in makeup artistry, it can sometimes feel hard to prioritize what you &#8216;should&#8217; be doing. After all, you need visibility and images to build a makeup portfolio and get paid work. In the beginning, paid work might not yet be an option.\n\nIn this case, that&#8217;s totally okay! <a href=\"\/2020\/05\/how-stylized-photoshoots-can-increase-your-makeup-artist-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photoshoot collaborations<\/a> are a great way to build your network, gain hands-on experience, and build your portfolio &#8211; even if it&#8217;s being done for free. But once paying clients start coming to you, they should take priority.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Exceptions to the Rule<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Sometimes, however, you have to trust your gut. You might have a paying client booked, only to be offered a proposal for unpaid work that could actually prove to be <em>more <\/em>beneficial to your career. In a situation such as this, I would strongly advise that you first look at the work of the people wishing to collaborate with you. See if it fits your needs and artistic direction.\n\nFor example, let&#8217;s say that a big-name photographer asks you for unpaid editorial work. They want to schedule it on the same day that a client is asking you for one makeup look only. In the long run, the unpaid editorial work might actually get you <em>more <\/em>paying jobs in the future, thanks to wider exposure this job will most likely give you.\n\nOn the other hand, if you have a collaboration project planned with someone you work with regularly, and you&#8217;ve been offered a <a href=\"\/2020\/10\/makeup-jobs-6-ways-to-find-as-beginner-nadia-calabro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full-paid job<\/a> on the same day, photographers usually understand that you need to take the paid job. Just be careful, give plenty of notice if you decide to take the job, and always find a replacement.

So, adopting the right habits from the start is essential.\n\nJust as importantly, don&#8217;t forget to take time for yourself! As much as possible, try to leave work at the proverbial door once your day is done. Allot time in your schedule to decompress, relax, and clear your brain of any stressors.

On this given day, you do NOT work at all! Use it to properly take time for yourself.
