A good work ethic! I think this is one of THE most important attributes a Makeup Artist can have (apart from natural talent of course). I've come across many a horror story about how a MUA has almost ruined a Brides' day by not only being late, but get this ... forgetting her kit! What the? If you are an aspiring MUA, keep these helpful hints we've put together in mind and your next job will be a pleasure for all. You'll also find, if you maintain great standards in the industry, more work will be offered to you.
- Act in a professional manner at all times. Remember you have a job to do.
- Don't gossip, it's a big no-no in the industry. Always remember client confidentiality.
- Be punctual.
- Dress neatly, correctly and appropriately for the assignment. Pay attention to your own personal hygiene. Remember you are working very closely with your clients. Use deodorant and make sure you don't have bad breath.
- Be prepared for all jobs, no matter how big or small. They all require the same attention.
- Be pleasant and helpful on set. You may be booked again if you're easy to get along with.
- Be critical of your own work. Pay attention to detail.
- Unless a certain look is specified, design you own .. create, enhance.
- Collect a picture file for reference. Visit libraries, scroll the internet, collect magazine pictures.
- Study face shapes and their prominent features.
- Practice makes perfect and builds confidence.
- Experiment with new looks and challenge yourself.
