A makeup artist needs to be known, not only in her locality but far and wide. Like i tell my students you musn't stick around and wait for your friends or relatives to get married  so as to do their makeup, no! you have to let the world see your skills !  You go girl (or guy ,ofcourse !)

So you have to advertise .
Get a flier and pack it up with at least 3 pictures of your work and your contacts- mobile phone number and at least your face book page should be there,then web page ,blog etc get friends(or pay up) to help you share it at malls and plazas ,parking lots , worship centres,etc


A complimentary card is a slower way to advertise especially on location where you are likely to meet, photographers , drinks company, video man ,hair stylists and of course impressed persons. It should contain your name  and contacts and other stuff u can do e.g waxing ,nails tech ,hair styling if so ,at the back of the card too.



Don't forget to team up with other related business outfits that run in your circles .Am talking about bridals houses, photo studios ,hair saloons and of course bigger makeup studios than yours ,if any. These outfits ,if rubbed gently the right way, can always call you up when they are asked of a makeup artist.Before you know it ,you are a team working weekly, no longer seasonaly.Even makeup studios need more hands when they get big jobs like peagents, fashion shows or reality shows ,yeah? so mingle and lick ass a little bit sometimes.
Post your jobs on social medias (don't forget to water mark it with your work name) its an advert and peoples eyes tell them whats good
.

Ok so , while you are at it and the money keeps coming in ,begin to place adverts on magazines , bulletins and programmes  e.g vogue (yeah, vogue! hehe ) , tw , complete fashion ,Elle(uh huh) , cinema guides , worship  bulletins ( make sure the population is more than 10,000 to get value for your money ,yea?)

And thats what i did today ! , advertise on a church bulletin. God bless you and i, God bless Makeup artists ! God bless the earth !

Hugs and kisses.
