Hi guys ! :) I have 15 years old and it's been a while since I started with makeup . For a while I've make-up some people ( friends and familly .. ) and Someone recently ask me to do her makeup for her wedding ! I really want to become a makeup artist but for now I just do makeup for some people . Since im just 15 years old and a dont have a lot of '' clients '' I can'y buy a lot of makeup product cause they will expire and I dont have a huge budget .... and i can't use my own product that I use every day for me on other people cause that wont be hygienique right ? So I want to know if you would have some suggestions for me. Like simple look or tips and tricks or some product that I can buy that wont cost me so much money and will last ...

Thank you <3 xx Ali

You can use the same products, just apply them with a clean brush. Of course the colors would have to match their skintones. If you don't want to buy too many products, just buy basic colors. For instance, eyeshadows: black, brown, navy. Lip colors: red, pink, nudes. Goodluck!(:

elf is pretty affordable if it's readily available to you. you can find reviews online of the best products elf has to offer, and then keep that make up with certain brushes in a separate case that you only use on clients :)

start with foundations, you don't have to have all skin tones, just 3 one wich is pale, other in mid tone and a dark foundation, that way you can mix the colors and match easier.
depends on what you want to do, I learned a great alternative to save money, I use lipsticks as blushes too, because I have dry skin work amazing for me, and 2 birds with one stone.
eyeshdows: if you are gonna be doing only bridal work, then go for eye shadows that are nuetral, like browns, mauves, pinks, bronzy, anything that would look nice on any skin tone to be specific.
remember higine is really important so try to buy a metal thingi( forgot the name sorry)
and after each use of the any brushes spot clean them.
for like blushes costal scents have a palet with one, is really nice, but is up to you.
if you got any questions lemme know, I'll try to help out :)
I order recently a 50 piece mascara wands( they haven't arrived yet, but if you want I'll tell you when I get them how they are OK).
basicly what I'm doing too is I try to buy products like eyeshadows, that won't expire as quick as an exempke a foundation, so that way I can build my collection.
BTW, Hautelook has good deals some times on makeup.
