unfortunately all mua have to start the same way...doing free work until you've built up a professional portfolio to present to an agency. if u have a portfolio then u should try the agency route they'll find work for u. but your portfolio must be 100% no error from the cover to back literally. good luck!

I have everything to Facebook Instagram other hair and makeup sites that are for stylist..I will make profiles on those wedding sites...thank you

Thanks I have a pending approval on mywedding.com and hope that gets approved. I have my prices now listed on the site too. Yep have a facebook page and I always take the time to promote myself whenever I see women commenting on my makeup or how I did my makeup. 

It's a consistent thing you have to do. Promote. Promote. Promote. Do you have a facebook fan page? Website? Are you passing your card out to everyone that comments on how pretty your makeup looks? Wedding Wire profile? The Knot?

You have to keep up with it. I do have my prices listed on my site because I don't want cheap brides. If they know they can't afford me, they don't bother, good me, less stress. lol

Good luck.

I have the same issue I always get contacted for TFP work and I am only doing selective of it right now. I have done promotions etc but I don't post my price list and still no response. Too many of them want to bargain or waste my time so I don't work with them simple. Plus some of the clients always think your prices are higher than the other makeup artist whereas I think what in offer is reasonable compared to those who charge about 2x than me 

How do you get jobs when you're constantly promoting yourself..im always posting my prices but yet to get any jobs.. i have some pictures but not alot..so wat can i do for both hair and makeup promotional wise
