video on touch up kits please!! as well as everything else you plan on... so informative, thanks! I thought i was the only one who thought bridal parties always go off the hinges day-of... good to know this is common! lol
Thanks for watching. I think i've seen some of the craziest things at weddings, there's always something going wrong!!!
You are very inspiring! I’ve been practicing as much as possible and have been wanting to freelance for awhile and your videos are definitely helping me build the confidence I need. Keep up the great videos!
You are amazing i love how much effort you put into your videos i am learning so much from you. I am starting to freelance this year. I am looking forward to more of your videos
Amazing! Let me know if there are any videos you want to request or questions you might have.
Ok your channel is by farrrr the best I have come across for giving new MUAs advice esp for bridal, honestly so helpful xx
Thank you! I am no longer creating content for UA-cam but I'm glad you are finding some of my older videos helpful.
Can you please do a video on techniques to applying makeup on heavily damage/acne prone skin! And the best ways to conceal those blemishes as well as product to help aiding the breakouts for clients
Great request!! It's on the list!!! Thank you!
Your videos are great! I love how in depth you get instead of just barely scratching the surface like so many do. You're awesome!!
Thanks Kasey!!!!!
You are just amazing! I am starting my makeup artist business and you break down so many things. If I have a question you are the first one I look for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! ❤️❤️
⭐️⭐️ YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BE A MUA⭐️⭐️. I’m considering a career change. So glad I found you!! Thanks Harrymakesitup!!!
how's it going so far?
I'm very happy i found you honestly you are talking about me it changed my life
Super informative! I'd love to see a video on the mini touch up kits for sure. ❤️
Definitely!!! 🤗
looking forward to part 3 ! thanks for being informative as always :)
👋🏻 thanks again for watching!!!!
Yes please! Can you please also talk about what's the verbiage you use to asking for the remaining balance after all services are completed? I always feel so awkward approaching them at the end and saying "we're heading out now. Will you be paying in cash or check?"
Absolutely!!! Asking people for money will be a whole other video LOL it's something we are always doing as freelancers.
You have been so helpful! Wow. I'm so glad I found you.
👌🏻🤗
Angie sometimes they are more nervous and anxious than excited. Gotta show up feeling positive to cheer them on
Hi Angie..
Where do I start! I am a full time corporate slave and now in the process of joining an academy to train as a MUA. I have watched as many videos as I can here on your channel, and I just want to tell you a BIG THANK YOU! You have made it so easy to understand every small and usually not spoken aspects of the industry. It's very helpful for someone like me who has very limited resources to weigh my options and get into this with a realistic approach. I really, really appreciate your work. Thank you so much 😍 BIG HUGS from 🇮🇳.
Thanks so much for watching!
I just found your channel and you have given me so much more confidence and knowledge! Ive been binge watching all your videos and have learned so much! Thank you!!
YAY Brittany!!! I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying the videos!
I just want to say thank you so much for doing this. You're awesome!
Thanks for watching!!!
lilmissbubblzable me too, thank you so much
yes for the touch up kits vid! x
👌🏻
Angie, I'm almost 16, and really interested in being a makeup artist. I was wondering how old you were when you started. I am really hoping to do everything that I can right now to prepare myself, and your videos have been a tremendous help! I've looked at every "What's in my Freelance Makeup kit" video on UA-cam, and yours are the best. you go into so much helpful detail. Thank you!😊😁
Hey Cami!! I was actually your age when I got my first job working in retail in makeup. I will have a video coming out in the next two weeks where I talk about all the embarrassing things I did when I first started!!!! It is amazing that you already have an interest in being a makeup artist!!!!
omg these vids are a god send im trying to get into bridal makeup i just put together a decent kit and now im trying to build my portfolio and website but this is sooo helpful thanks girl
Thanks for watching Chloe! I will have a few more of these coming out in the next couple of weeks as well!
Awesome video, as usual. Yes to all of your future video ideas. Love you honesty and expertise. 😉
Thank you!!! Thanks again for watching!!!
Super helpful!!!! Thank you so much for these videos!
Thanks for watching Andrea!
Love this!!! So informative! Love that you explain everything in detail. Thank you so much! Can't wait for part 3! 💖
👏🏻☺️
As always, a very professional and well-elaborated video!
🤗
been watching your videos every single day and I am so inspired! Thank you so much Anggie! Love from the Philippines
Great video and really interested in contracts as this is something I am looking at now. Yes please to a video on bridal touch up kit, also covering yourself with insurance and how do you do an eyelash glue test? I have been told you should do a test for allergies beforehand but can't see how this is practical if the client lives far away or do you just need them to sign a disclaimer....any advice on this type of thing would be great. Love your videos by the way xx
Thanks Liz! I will cover all of that off in the contracts video for sure!!! If your client is allergic to latex they will be allergic to lash glue (unless you have one that is latex free - which you should have just in case), and the allergy test is just not time efficient considering there are a million other things in our makeup kits that people could be allergic to (if you really think about it). For the most part, people know what their allergies are and they will tell you ahead of time, but having a section in your contract indicating you are not responsible for any allergic reactions is a good thing to have.
Thanks Angie! 😀x
Thank you. This is soooo helpful. Can't wait for the contacts video :)
Thanks so much for watching!
Angie thank you so much for doing all these videos :) Im just getting into the industry and your videos are super helpful
That's awesome Regina!
Thank you so much for this super informative video, I appreciate it so much! I'm looking forward to Pt. 3 of this Bridal Series!
Thank you so much!!!!
HI!! Could you possibly do a video on how you manage your finances? Not like the complete details on what you earn, but just how when you were first starting out (like I am) you managed the cost of buying your kit and jobs and keeping money for yourself? Thank youuu!
Hey Amber! Great request, I will add that to my list of videos. Thanks for watching!
congrats on 1K !!
omg YES! I just realized!! Thank youuuu!
can't wait fron the next vid 😃😃
👋🏻🤗
This has been so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much! Can you talk about pricing please!
Pricing and contracts videos will be coming!
ayeeeeee 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 HERE. FOR. IT!!! #takesnotes
🤗🤓
Hey Angie! Can you do a video maybe about how to stay organized with all your brides details? I find it difficult to keep and organize all information / photos / contracts / follow up etc. Do you keep paperwork in a physical binders or digitally? Mine are all over the place.. some in email some in my binders some in text message.. I need organization help!!!
Rachelle this is such a great suggestion. I have been using notes on my MacBook because you can add pictures and I have been organizing it by month and date. Also contracts I keep digitally in google drive and attach them to the event in google calendar so everything is in one place. I barely have any paperwork anymore so that helps too!
Great thanks for the advice and help!
Thank you for this great advice! I wanted to ask you something though, that is off the "bridal makeup" topic. I'm a speech therapy student (final year) and I'm working for MAC on the week ends, as an intern only, and hopefully I'll make that a full time job after my graduation. I've never worked in the make up field before this, so my week ends with MAC are helping me grow and learn more than I ever thought I could. I'd like to work there for as long as needed to gain enough experience to move on to fashion and magazine shoots. I know it's suuuper early to think about this (since I still have to graduate this year then officially work for MAC for a while) but I'd like to know what you think it takes to get into the fashion industry... How long do you think I have to wait before I apply for a job in a magazine? And how does that work exactly? I mean is freelancing "safe"? Like how do you make a name for yourself in the industry and make magazines call you for shoots? And what kinds of other shoots is there? Like how do shoots for clothing lines work? How do you get called for that? And pharmaceutical products!!! That's always been a big question for me! I love the kind of make up they do for pharmaceutical products' advertising, but I never understood how that works and where??
Anyway I'm so so so sorry for all those questions, I'd be happy with whatever you can answer! And if some of them are too large and you could make a video about them that'd be amazing!
Thank you so much in advance, xoxo
Hey Wissal!!! These are actually amazing questions to ask, and I will do a video addressing some of these questions because they require a fairly lengthy explanation and they are questions that everyone has when they first get started. I want to take some time and figure out how to answer them properly for you, but they will definitely be in a video!!!! These are all of the types of work that I do right now in my career so I will be able to hopefully give you an answer that is helpful.
I'll be looking forward to that!! Thank you so much Angieee!
Thank YOU for asking such great questions!!!!
❤️️❤️️❤️️
Thank you so much for all the details. I just discovered your channel and I'm soooo glad I did.
I'd like to ask a question though.
What if my client is out of the country and I need to do a bridal makeup trial, how do I go about this please? It could be a job I'll have to leave my country for too
Your client should be paying for all expenses for travel if they want to hire you.
How do you get your clients makeup to look flawless raw on raw photos with no flashback 😫
Hi Casee! I am going to talk about this an a video for sure!!!!
Thank you so much you helped me a lot
Thanks for the informative video! I just discovered your channel and am slowly making my way through all of them. Maybe I missed something... From this video, it sounded like you also do hair? Are you a certified hair stylist? If not, I'm curious if you've had "skeptical" brides who are unsure about you doing there hair? How you convince brides to book you?
Hi Nethika! Yes I do both hair and makeup. You don't need to be a certified hairstylist to do session styling here (I don't cut hair) but I don't seem to have any issues with clients. If they want a certified hairdresser I encourage them to book with their own hairstylist if that is the case. I also share photos of my hair styling if requested by my clients.
Thank you 😊
hey Angie my niece is trying to get her mua portfolio together, any tips
You can check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/BAUb_gGId8M/v-deo.html I go through some of the things to think about when first getting started building your portfolio. It also depends on the market you live in and what earns money - but generally speaking clean images with agency represented models and no over the top styling it what she needs to get in her portfolio.
hey angie! i was wondering what foundation palettes you recommend for bridal makeup that would work on all skin types? thanks :)
I carry a number of different foundations in my kit - right now I have the VK11, Face Atelier, Cinema Secrets and Black Opal. Not every shade in every brand but a light medium and dark range from each. All work really well for bridal.
Hi Angie, I am watching your videos one after the other, ...you said we could go to bridal trade show ...but what do we do exactly once there?? Who do we talk to? Do we go to photographers and say "Hi, I do makeup"!..?? I don't really see why they would introduce us to their customers? I 'm lost ahahhahah
Wedding photographers/event planners are often asked by clients to refer MUA's and can be a huge source of referrals for you. The rest is all networking which I can't guide you through. The point is to introduce yourself and present a business card, promo package or whatever you would like to use to present your work and direct these people to your website etc. However you would like to do this is up to you!
I am getting starte and need help with the contracts. Where would I get samples from? Thank you in advance
Hi Renita! There are many samples you can view online and on Pinterest. I will be doing a video in a couple of weeks about what should be included in a contract, but specific legal requirements will differ depending on where you live and it is always helpful to have a lawyer review whatever contract you are using.
What’s the difference between the consultation and the trial?
They are essentially the same thing.
Angie Di Battista ok. Is there a need for both? I’ve seen some free consultations where you just meet with the client and talk. And then charge for the trial and actually do the makeup
You can definitely do both if that is something that works for your business! I know MUA's who grab a coffee with their clients etc. before scheduling the trial and that is something great to offer as long as the consultations are short and productive.
Do you charge for trial? if yes, the whole rate??
Yes and yes.
Angie Di Battista So hard to do though. But I understand it's our time etc...just afraid to loose clients if I ask them to pay for it. Anyway thank you so very much for answering all my questions!! :))))
Always remember you are running a business, also remember that when you give away your services for free you are saying to your clients that your time and talent is not worth their money. By doing this you lessen the value of the service for other artists in the industry, in the long term this effects your own earnings and the earnings of others.
How many people should one mua be able to do on a bridal party? I got a booking this summer and it is bride + 3 bridesmaids. I will clock my makeup time today but I don't know if I should do this alone 🤔 thanks for great videos!!
That is totally up to you and how quickly you can work. I usually cap my own bookings at 4 or 5 services and bring on additional artists if need be. Also consider how long your client has to prep. I personally think prep longer than 4-5 hours for a bridal party is excessive and bringing on additional artists for services totalling more than that just makes more sense.
Hey Angie!! You're great! I hope we run into each other one day - not far from you:):) greetings from Oakville!
YAY Oakville!!!!! Hopefully our paths will cross one day!!!! 🤗
Angie Di Battista Awesome Angie!! You made my day- maybe we can collab on a project contact me if you have anything upcoming I'd be honoured to work with you!
