I've posted this once already, but received no help. This will be the last time I post. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!


Hi!

I have been in contact with a makeup artist in California recently that is 14 years old (like me). I can't officially get a job yet, so I thought that maybe doing makeup artistry as a side job that would be fun! I already do makeup for family friends and get paid for it, but I thought a business would seem more "professional" and would maybe help extend my mini-career.
If you are a professional makeup artist that I could maybe ask a few questions, please email me at elliecreaseybeauty@gmail.com. Feel free to also leave your email below so I can contact you. I have watched several YouTube videos on how to start a freelance kit, but I think it would be better if I directly talked to someone. I also may ask a few questions on here so stay tune!

***Please NO hate & DO NOT try and talk me out of this. I have made my decision and my family backs me up 100%. My plan may not work, but I am confident and I am not ready to begin it yet. Also, please no judging. I have been doing makeup since I was 10 and I think I am overall pretty good at basics.***

Thank You,
Ellie

I recommend reading up. Bobbi Brown has three - I think - books on makeup and application. They're incredibly helpful.

Okay thank you Jacqueline, I won't do it again. And yes I found it very helpful and talked to my mom about getting one (:

Thank you Meghan, I didn't know that. Will definitely go look into it!!
