When you're done school don't take a break - work on your port right away. What you've learned will be fresh in your head. You also don't want to lose your creative drive so get out there will you still have the drive!

I've recently decided to take the plunge and go to school full time to become a makeup artist. I start in February and these tips are very useful for me, I'm sure it can be pretty intimidating out there to try to find work with so much competition! I'll definitely be keeping your tips in mind!Jenn @ So Very Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453855799844388575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844804656928860669.post-83523683361162288292010-12-17T09:41:23.887-05:002010-12-17T09:41:23.887-05:00What a great post Joy - so nice of you to give suc...What a great post Joy - so nice of you to give such helpful advice to others :)Cassandra Rae Ferguson Sydney Makeup Artisthttp://cassandraraeferguson.webs.com/apps/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844804656928860669.post-15412707972863463272010-12-16T22:20:25.498-05:002010-12-16T22:20:25.498-05:00Hi Huffy!

Altho...I tell you this all the time, your amazing!<br /><br />Altho I did go to school to do this as a "side job" I enjoy hearing insight from other MUA who have been out in the trenches.<br /><br />Keep doing you <3 Also fingers crossed we get to work together in the future :)Jennifer from Toronto - Spiced Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003415628022701175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844804656928860669.post-49747109562601614302010-12-15T18:19:59.584-05:002010-12-15T18:19:59.584-05:00@Michelle - Thanks so much for your feedback!

It's nice to know that other freelance types share my same experiences good and bad! I love fashion but my personality is just not cut-throat enough for it! lol<br /><br />I think you made the best decision going on your own and starting your site! It's one of the best beauty sites out there!

Thank you so much for writing this - I learned a lot (and there are lot of similarities between being a freelance makeup artist and being a freelance writer... all us creative types have to HUSTLE!)<br /><br />I love that you mentioned how you find it more rewarding to work on real women - I always ask that whenever I'm meeting a new artist (usually hairdressers) and find that the people who say that are always the best at what they do. <br /><br />I feel the same as you about the fashion industry too - it's kind of why I'm in no rush to go back to having a staff job in magazines. I much prefer being self-employed and involved on the sidelines instead of getting all caught up in it like I used to!Michellehttp://beautyeditor.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844804656928860669.post-49308485349367181202010-12-15T17:02:48.106-05:002010-12-15T17:02:48.106-05:00@BeautyParler - thank you for reading! it's su...@BeautyParler - thank you for reading! it's such a long post too lol.
