Consultation meetings are important, especially for bridal parties, because they let you work directly with the client to create a look that makes everyone happy.\n\nEven if you\u2019re confident in your makeup skills, negotiating details with brand new clients can be a daunting task. However, as long as you\u2019re well organized and prepared to communicate, you shouldn\u2019t worry!

Plan with the Client for the Makeup Consultation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nOf course, you\u2019ll choose a time and place for the consultation that works well for your client. Will you travel to her, or do you have a home office or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/04\/set-makeup-studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">makeup studio<\/a> that she can visit? Can your schedule be flexible to work around her busy work week? You should also ask simple questions about what she likes and dislikes in order to plan looks for the consultation. What is her favorite color? Does she know whether she\u2019d prefer a natural or a glamorous look? What are the theme and color scheme of the event? Don\u2019t bombard her with questions, but get the information you need to prepare.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Set_a_Rate_for_Your_Makeup_Services\"><\/span>2.

Once you\u2019ve built a regular client base, you might have repeat clients who are prepared to pay a fee for the entire contract, including the consultation, because they\u2019ve worked with you before and would like to again. For your first client, however, you might speak with them about a fee specifically for the consultation and then discuss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/11\/write-makeup-artistry-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">payment for the rest of the contract<\/a> based on the success of that meeting. You\u2019ll both want to get a sense for whether working together feels like a good fit. Either way, be up front about the fact that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/11\/azzi-williams-how-to-price-your-makeup-artistry-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">makeup consultation is a paid service<\/a> and set a fair rate that doesn\u2019t undervalue your skills.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Research_the_Latest_Makeup_Trends\"><\/span>3. Research the Latest Makeup Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nBefore the consultation, make sure to read up on the latest products and trends. Is your prom client young and edgy? Research high fashion and avant garde styles that might inspire a look she\u2019ll really like. Is your bride very traditional? Make sure your knowledge of the latest bridal makeup trends is up to par so you can help her choose which subtle changes to the \u2018blushing bride\u2019 look will make her feel her best. If there\u2019s a specific color, look, or style that you\u2019d like to show the client, save or print the picture so you can bring it for reference.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Prepare_Face_Charts\"><\/span>4. Prepare Face Charts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nPlanning your looks on a face chart gives you a great visual aid during the consultation. Your client can actually see her options rather than trying to make decisions based on descriptions. Perhaps the choice will be easier if she eliminates an option or two right away by looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/09\/create-makeup-face-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">face charts<\/a>. These also give you the opportunity to practice techniques and blending certain colors before you apply anything to your client\u2019s face. Plan a few looks in various colors, styles, and levels of glamour.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Prepare_Your_Professional_Makeup_Artist_Kit\"><\/span>5.

Don\u2019t pack so little that you limit your options and can\u2019t adapt during the consultation. You should, however, avoid bringing things you know you won\u2019t need. You will look very professional if your kit is organized with exactly what you need, plus some alternative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/11\/build-custom-makeup-palettes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">product and color options<\/a>.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Practice_Your_Makeup_Skills\"><\/span>6. Practice Your Makeup Skills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nFace charts are a chance to practice specific looks before your consultation. Make sure, however, that you\u2019ve practiced each technique you plan to show as well. Doing a smoky eye is much different on a person\u2019s face than it is on your own face or a piece of paper. Stick to techniques you know you can do well, or practice new ones before you present them as options in the consultation.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Dress_for_Success\"><\/span>7. Dress for Success<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAs a makeup artist, you can actually advertise your skills on yourself. You should attend your consultation clean, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/10\/how-to-dress-like-a-professional-makeup-arist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">well dressed<\/a>, and made up appropriately for that job. If your client is a traditional bride hoping for a natural look, avoid making yourself look too edgy or high fashion. If your client is a model at an alternative photo shoot, get a little more creative with your look. Your own face is an opportunity to display your skills and make a great first impression on your new client.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Be_Approachable\"><\/span>8. Be Approachable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nBe friendly when you interact with clients, but remember that people also like their space. You should aim to be approachable without being overwhelming. You want your client to feel comfortable enough to tell you what they like and dislike during your consultation. If you seem distant or cold, your client might be too nervous to speak up if she doesn\u2019t like the look. Alternatively, your client might be discouraged from working with you if she feels you were too nosy or loud. Stay friendly and calm, and make good communication and client comfort your top priorities.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-10-03T141727.388.jpg\" alt=\"Friendly smiling makeup artist with client\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-10-03T141727.388.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-10-03T141727.388-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-10-03T141727.388-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-10-03T141727.388-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Adapt_and_Adjust_Your_Ideas_During_the_Consultation\"><\/span>9. Adapt and Adjust Your Ideas During the Consultation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nPre-planning some looks doesn\u2019t mean your client has to choose between those alone. She might have suggestions or ideas and you should be willing to work with them. You are the professional, so you should make recommendations based on your knowledge of what is best, but you should still be willing to adapt according to your client\u2019s needs. Be prepared to make adjustments as you move through the consultation meeting.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Work_Your_Magic\"><\/span>10. Work Your Magic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nFinally, show your client what you\u2019re capable of! Most of your consultation time will be spent actually applying the makeup she chooses. Be prepared to do additional applications or make adjustments if she decides that the style looked better on the face chart than it does on her. The consultation is your chance to really &#8216;wow&#8217; your client and show her how amazing you can help her look for the real event.\n\nLearn more about professional makeup artistry with QC Makeup Academy&#8217;s flexible <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online makeup courses<\/a>!
