It is necessary that you take photographs of he makeup looks that you create so that you can document them in your portfolio or to upload them onto social media. I use the IPhone 6 as it has an 8 megapixel 1/3 inch sensor which takes high quality pictures like a camera would. I prefer to use a phone as it is smaller, quicker and easier to work, whereas using a camera it would take more time to turn on and is more confusing to work. ]]> 2016-09-13 10:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/123385555 smithsophie231 https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571254 A diary or appointment book is important to have when freelancing. You'll need to document your appointments in this book so that you don't forget any appointments. Also it can be used for writing down any notes or reminders. This is a great way to keep organised when being a freelance makeup artist.  I got my diary from Wilkinsons. ]]> 2016-09-18 16:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571254 smithsophie231 https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571375 Making sure that you have a portfolio is very important. This will hold all your makeup looks which you have created which would come in handy for any makeup related job interviews as this would show the interviewers what you have to offer and it also shows that you are organised and motivated to be a successful makeup artist. ]]> 2016-09-18 16:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571375 smithsophie231 https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571555 Social Media is a way to advertise your work so that the public can see. Facebook and Instagram are very popular within the freelance industry. By making a page on social media allows the public and future clients to look at your work and makes it easy for them to contact you with any questions and booking appointments. It also allows you to communicate easier with your clients which is a key tip when being a freelance makeup artist as it is professional to reply quickly to clients.]]> 2016-09-18 16:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571555 smithsophie231 https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571806 To be a successful makeup artist you must keep your makeup kit well cleaned and organised. Your brushes must be cleaned before each client as this will stop bacteria from the previous client passing onto the next client. Also having a well cleaned and organised set up makes you as a makeup artist look more professional.
Mac brush cleaner is a great brush cleaner as you are able to spot clean your brushes in between clients which makes it very quick and easy.  You can buy this from any mac counter.

Also you must look professional when doing your job, this means wearing appropriate clothing, appropriate hair and makeup, nice nails and smelling nice. With being a freelance makeup artist it means that you will meet new people so you want to make the best first impression so that person will recommend you to other people and that is how your business will grow. ]]> 2016-09-18 16:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124571806 smithsophie231 https://padlet.com/smithsophie231/nquaqr10fh63/wish/124572195 Having a full organised makeup kit is the most important part of being a makeup artist. Making sure you have a full stock of products within your kit so you can create a wide range of different makeup looks to suit different people. It is important to have a various of different colours, products etc... so that when you ask the client how they want their makeup you will have everything you need.
Make sure that all the makeup in your kit is in date so that your clients wont have any reactions.
Carry all your makeup in a suitable travel case or bag. This will also look professional when you first meet a client, you want your makeup to be stored safely so nothing gets damaged. Also it is a good idea to have separate bags or storage which is for a specific product for example all lip products will go in one bag which will be labelled as lips. This makes it easier to find specific products and keeps your kit well organised.
I got my college starter kit from Treasure House Of Makeup.
https://www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk/
This is a good website to order your kit from as it stocks different brands and has a lot of different types of products.

Makeup remover wipes are handy to have in your kit so that if the client has any leftover makeup on the skin you can wipe it away quickly with a wipe. These will also help with any mistakes that you may have made.

A moisturiser which is fragrance free is important as it will hydrate the skin, also it is best that the moisturiser is fragrance free as this wont harm the clients skin as you wont know if the client has sensitive skin.

It is important you have a wide range of styles as you want to give your client a choice to see which type they prefer.
I get my eyelashes from the Eldora website as i find they offer the best quality of lashes and they offer many different styles.

This is very important as you wont know till the day what skin tone or skin type your client has so it is important to have all the right products so that you can produce a good makeup look and reach the clients needs. I use the L'Oreal True Match foundation as it has an amazing colour range, it has three different ranges in skin tones (cool, neutral and warm) so it is suitable for anybody.  You can buy this foundation in any beauty shop which stocks L'Oreal.

People have a license and a car which enables them to travel in their car to and from houses however people who don't may have to travel on public transport. 
Bus's offer weekly or monthly bus passes. The system one bus ass is a pass which allows you to get on any bus. You can get this at any travel shop and some supermarkets e.g. Asda sell them.
