    Omg thank you so much for this amazing positive helpful vied, I worked for Mac for 8 years, after I quit working for them and from the stress and anxiety caused by working for them I have been a way from the makeup world, but make is my real passionate, and I wanna start doing makeup, your video has given me so much confidents to come back to the makeup world thank you so much 🙏🏼

    Thank you for this video! I went to cosmetology school and worked in a few salons. The salons I worked for weren't the kindest, but also didn't have any updated makeup. Each salon I would work at would make us use their products which came with maybe 4 different foundation shades. Over time I lost my interest and went into nursing. Now that I have educated myself over the last few years, I have learned I have just been working in the wrong places and now I am in the process of renewing my license and taking makeup classes. I have always been into makeup and has been a dream of mine to work with weddings. This video has really inspired me and helps guide me in the right directions. Thank you!

    I don’t often comment but I had to on this. As a make up artist who is weeks away from going into my studio this video was so incredibly helpful. It made me realise how good of job I am already doing and you’re so right about how much we beat ourselves up to have so much at the beginning. You answered so many questions I had and I truly thank you for that. Subscribed! ❤️

    I've been a certified and licensed makeup artist for 15 years I love it I also style hair. I love this video. Do you have any suggestions on which liquid or gel eyeliner to use that is sweatproof,smudgeproof and waterproof? I have tried so many and not have done the work properly. I used to use the benefit gel pen liner but they discontinued it I was so upset 😖

    • @merriemakeupartist
      @merriemakeupartist  Рік тому +1

      That’s a tough one! I would recommend getting on some Facebook groups of local makeup artists in your area and connecting with people there! I’m sure there are fellow beginners who would be happy to let you practice on them.

    @wendyann7432 3 роки тому +1

    As a freelance makeup artist, when booking a trial for bridal makeup, do you go to the clients house? If so, do you charge travel fees to go to their house for the trial as well?
    I’m trying to figure out how to not go to a clients house 😅

    • @merriemakeupartist
      @merriemakeupartist  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Wendy! My travel fee is the same no matter what type of appointment it is, whether its a trial or wedding day. Either way it requires the same amount of work and planning on my end!
