I'm not a professionally trained make up artist, but for the past 3 years I've been doing make up for clients on a professional level.
Proms, dance teams (both mature women and young girls), fx make up for a couple of films (college student run production companies), and such!

Needless to say I really enjoy doing this and am slowly building my kit and improving my techniques. I plan on compiling a portfolio so that I can apply for jobs and adding to my list of clients! Any advice on this process would be super helpful :3 thanks in advance

I know of some people that have turned their instagram into a professional portfolio, considering that social media is hot atm. or you could try photobucket. some places would prefer to see a physical copy though. if you eish to take that route I would type up a professional resume and a list of previous clients as references, then if possible put some pictures in there of your best styles and makeup.
