Hi everyone, I do a lot of freelance gigs and am wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks to producing quick yet flawless full makeup looks? Any shortcuts you guys use to cut down the time in application? Thanks!

Keep it simple.

Make your setup accessible, so you never have to step away to dig through your kit. Ideally a surface that you can just reach, rather than back & forth from.

Create a routine for a particular style/skin type/shade and then add the accent colours as needed. Once you set a foundation, the repetition will make it second nature and you won't be wasting time pondering which products to use.

I like talking with clients, but it does slow down my time.. so if time is a major issue I keep quiet. Usually there are other people around, so the idea that you need to keep a conversation flowing isn't always the case.
