   Step 2: Constantly practice what you have learned.

   Practice on yourself, on friends, and keep your skills to par with a constant clientele. , Read any fashion or beauty magazines to see how the makeup is presented.
   
   Examples:
   Natural, subtle, dramatic, enticing, crazy, that kind of thing. , If you find brand you love or think you might love, ask the company for a small sample.
   
   If not, ask for a makeup artist discount.
   
   These are usually big, and maybe you can get a bigger discount if you advertise the product to your clientele and on your website as favorable and effective. , These can't just be bland with your contact information, but need to be a subtle colour with a good cute pattern that makes the words easy to read.
   
   Or add a decorative logo of yours in the corner of the business card.
   
   But don't overdo it, or clientele may think you'll overdo it right before that big kiss or the conference. , Post them on your website and get a good photo portfolio to show how amazing your work is! Pair that with a resume and you will look professional to anybody! Just remember to be professional, too.
