The 5 Things You Need To Do To Become A Bridal Makeup Artist

The day of the wedding can be one of the most photographed and recorded events in the life of a bride. For an event that is so important, some brides hire bridal makeup artists, professional makeup artists who apply makeup to brides and, in some cases, other members of the wedding party. This usually involves meeting with the bride in advance to discuss their needs and applying makeup several times during the wedding ceremony and celebration.

Step 1: Get training in artistic makeup

While a degree in cosmetology is not mandatory, some form of postsecondary training is usually required. Make-up art courses provide students with training in the techniques and tools used to apply cosmetics on special occasions. Students discover how to create glamorous and natural looks for brides. In addition, makeup artists learn to analyze the skin and use makeup to correct defects. Some training programs can be completed in just a few months and lead to a diploma.

Artistic makeup programs can also include business training for students who plan to operate their own businesses. Business courses can teach the aspiring bridal makeup artist about marketing techniques and portfolio construction.

Step 2: Set up your business online

Everyone today is online, and makeup artists are no exception. That said, you do not have to get carried away in the first place. You only need a page to which you can direct people, which will have your contact information and some examples of your work.If you decide to set up a website immediately, do not spend too much. You can follow our guide to set up a website here, but the important thing is that when you start keeping things simple and cheap and be sure to focus on finding clients.

With this in mind, a simple Facebook page will often suffice! You can also quickly set up a Google+ page, which allows Google to index it in your business lists. It\’s as simple as setting up a Facebook page and it looks professional.You should also take the time to add yourself to local business listings, it will take time for people to start looking for you on Google, but this is an important first step on that road.

Step 3: Set up your business offline

When it starts, there is not much you need to worry about, except getting clients; Having to make a tax return would be a good problem, right?But you can make things easier by setting up a separate bank account and simply doing everything related to your business: it can save you a lot of time in the future and it will take 15 minutes to set it up.Not opening a bank account from the beginning was one of Ash\’s biggest mistakes when he was starting.

Another thing to organize is insurance, specifically a liability insurance that will cover you in the worst possible scenarios. Sites like simplybusiness.com allow you to compare suppliers.For a complete guide on setting up your makeup business to work legally and safely, see our article here.

Step 4: Decide on prices

This can often be complicated at first, since you will not know what the market rate is, and if it is starting, most people are reluctant to even charge that.A good place to start is to see what other make-up artists are charging locally. Then you may prefer to start lower than them, and gradually increase your rates. This is what Ash did, and now she is almost doubled where it started.

Step 5: Find some clients

This could (and probably should) be number 1 on our list. In theory, you could use a customer\’s search as a catalyst to go out and buy / complete your kit and set up a website.Do not be afraid to ask your friends and family in the first instance. You can also ask them to send it to the brides so that they know they know it: make sure everyone is in their corner and prepared with their contact information.
