Becoming a Better Make-Up Artist

After graduating from an esthetician school, there are many different career options to choose from.  An increasingly popular choice for esthetician graduates is to become a bridal make-up artist.

Every bride wants to look beautiful on their wedding day and more and more brides are hiring bridal make-up artists to make their wedding day special.  Although the demand for bridal make-up artists is increasing, brides are becoming picky about whom they want to do their make-up on their special day.  There are some easy ways that a bridal make-up artist can increase their business.  The first thing to do is create a portfolio of brides and other women whose make-up you have done to show to potential clients.  This allows the potential client to get a good idea of the quality of your work.  Next, being able to re-create a look in a magazine or photo is a great way to generate more clients.  Many brides will bring in a picture of a woman in the style of make-up they want for their big day.  Being able to re-create the look is a great way to impress the potential client.  Make-up artists should also allow the brides to have a trial run.  This will ensure that the bride will get exactly the look they want and it can be tweaked to their liking before the day of the wedding.  Finally, keep in mind that word of mouth is always a great way to get new business.  Be sure to keep you clients happy and beautiful so they want to refer you to their friends.
