But with the right strategies, you&#8217;ll quickly build relationships and take part in jobs that&#8217;ll provide you with quality photos of your work.\n\nEven as an industry professional, I am constantly building my makeup portfolio. As the standard, I make sure to include important publication work, as well as looks I&#8217;m especially proud of. On top of that, I also try to display my most <em>recent<\/em> work.

The key to avoiding this is to not make amateur mistakes. It&#8217;s natural to have a few hiccups in the beginning (that&#8217;s what learning is all about, after all).

One of the most important parts of your makeup portfolio is showcasing the right models. So, you&#8217;ll need to choose them wisely!\n\nThe quality of editorial work is largely based on the model and how they portray your makeup look. When seeking out models, remember: &#8220;photogenic features&#8221; does not simply mean the person is pretty. Rather, it also means interesting and unique. Your model should also know how to pose (and have more than one pose in their arsenal).[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>How to Choose the RIGHT Model<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]So, how should you go about <a href=\"\/2014\/05\/building-makeup-artistry-portfolio-101-finding-models\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">finding the right models<\/a> for your makeup portfolio? Start by taking a look at <em>their <\/em>portfolio of work!\n\nYou&#8217;ll want to see variety in their photos. Take a close look at their poses and expressions. Keep an eye out for any singularities, too. For example, do they have freckles? Curly hair? A cute gap between their tap? It&#8217;s never a bad thing to have a model with discernable features that help them to stand out!\n\nYour model needs to best suit the makeup you will create. If you&#8217;re going for something creative, you might be looking for specific features in your model. Good skin is also really important, since blending needs to be flawless (and with a light coverage) for editorial work.[\/vc_column_text][\/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;][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;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;47327&#8243; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h4><em><strong>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/annissbarton.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anniss+Barton Photography<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/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;][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<h3>2.

After all, it&#8217;s one of the best ways we can express ourselves. You might love using bright colors, glitters, and textures. (I do, too!) However, your makeup portfolio shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0<em>only\u00a0<\/em>demonstrate creative looks.\n\nIf it does, you might put off potential clients. It could also give the wrong impression: that this type of makeup is <em>all <\/em>you can do. Clients will seek out makeup artists who can bring their visions to life. If you only show one specific style and it doesn&#8217;t align with theirs, you&#8217;ve just missed out on a booking opportunity.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>How to Showcase Variety<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Your makeup portfolio should display a variety of different looks and styles.\u00a0For example, the most requested look tends to be the &#8220;no makeup&#8221; look. If you do editorial makeup, chances are good that you&#8217;ll work for fashion labels and skincare brands. Look at the advertisements to get a proper idea of what&#8217;ll be expected from you.\n\nYou&#8217;ll notice that very often, the model&#8217;s makeup is quite natural. Even if it&#8217;s not what excites you the most, this is the type of makeup which can give you regular, paid work. This is just one example, of course. But it illustrates the importance of showcasing different sides of your makeup skills in your professional portfolio.\n\nIf you want to broaden your range and master many different types of makeup, professional training is the best recommendation I can give you.

For example, an editorial series could be <em>\u201880\u2019s makeup with a modern twist\u2019<\/em> or <em>\u2018colorful summer outwear\u2019<\/em>. If you don&#8217;t understand the story behind the series, your makeup won&#8217;t reflect the message your client is trying to get across.\n\nIt&#8217;s very important to clearly identify the expectation of your client and\/or the photographer. Your makeup might not be the focal point of the image. Plus, the makeup will also need to work with the hairstyle, the lighting, the clothes, and the model themselves. If the looks needs to be more natural in order to create a beautiful image, that&#8217;s just the way it is!\n\nI&#8217;ve often worked for hairdressers, creating a collection for awards. Very often, the hair is creative and colorful. While the makeup can be slightly creative, too, the focus is meant to be the model&#8217;s hair.

Avoid thick foundation and apply powder very lightly.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Be careful with concealers! <\/strong>It&#8217;s easier for a photographer to edit a small breakout with no makeup than trying to correct layers of concealer. If your model has a small breakout, you can leave it with no makeup on.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>The foundation color matches both the face and body perfectly!<\/strong> You&#8217;ll notice that very often, the skin on the body is slightly more yellow than the face. If you create a pink complexion on the face, but then your model rests her face on her shoulder, the difference WILL be noticeable.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Be careful with the eyebrows!<\/strong> Filling up all of the model&#8217;s eyebrows with product is not going to work for editorial makeup.

Before applying makeup on your model, you should have a clear idea of what the lighting is, what the editing will look like, and what the final images should (ideally) look like. I have also learned that reaching out to photographers with some ideas is a great way to build a relationship and begin a collaboration.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>How to Go Into a Job Prepared<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Instead of simply sending a link to <a href=\"\/2015\/02\/tips-building-terrible-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your website<\/a> and asking for a meeting, share the moodboards you&#8217;ve created with the photographers you want to work with!
