You kind of have to start branding yourself as early as possible. Do you have a YouTube channel, a blog? Also social networking is key. Gather all the Facebook, twitter, and Instagram fans that you can. That's my advise, good luck. :-)

You need a lot of experience (years), knowledge, a college degree, self motivation & connections with people who are already jn the network!

I know Michelle has a video about her story, about how she came to be a Lancome representative. Try watching that, maybe it will inspire you! (:

take some business classes so you can keep the paper end of your business (taxes, deductions etc) organized, see if there are any local muas willing to let you assist (ibe of the best ways to learn and really allows you to find / develop your strengths/weaknesses. take classes offered by makeup artists or stores like mac but most important, practice, practice, practice...
