What is a Freelance Makeup Artist?
Most makeup artists are freelance artists. Basically, this means you work for yourself, take your own clients, and set your own prices.
Typically freelance makeup artists are their own brands: your business name will be synonymous with your personal name (think, “Makeup by Jane” or “Mario Hair & Beauty”. You’ll likely have a small makeup studio/area in your home and also will probably travel to your clients on some occasion (a great example of this is for bridal makeup).
If you’re thinking of offering makeup services on your own terms and at your own pace, you’ll want to become a freelance MUA!
