I would love to be a model and I guess I am not the only one. Ask around, I am sure you can find models to help you get experience.

Offer free makeup services or discounted at least.. tell people your story and you can even get paying clientele from that!

I started kinda unintentionally. Every look I did on myself, I put in an album on Facebook and eventually lots of people messaged me about weddings and other events.

Number 1 rules, never give away your service for free. Then everyone will expect you to do their makeup for free and will refuse to pay you if they want you to do their makeup again in the future. You can offer low costs but never just give away your talent. I agree with finding aspiring models to work on because it can then build portfolios both for you and the model. Social media is your best friend, get your work out there and advertise for prom and weddings.
