I am starting out as a makeup artist which is my dream!! I could really use tips on where to get business and how to build my portfolio. I do everyday makeup, weddings, avant garde, couture, and fantasy. I have not yet mastered airbrush. Does anyone have suggestions on starting out in a salon or on my own?

Try a salon to start out. It will teach you the business aspect part of it.
