As a make-up artist starting off 99% of the work you get in the beginning is going to be you putting yourself out there and for free. Now for me, my kit is very expensive seeing as I use only have under ten items that are drug store/ high street products and the rest being high end make-up including brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, Anastasia Beverly Hills and Kryolan. For me obviously the expense of my make-up kit was a huge amount and sometimes using that make-up for free is a little disheartening but if you make the most out of that job and pick the jobs you do for free wisely then it's all worth it in the long run. I personally will not choose to do a shoot for free unless it is filling a hole in my portfolio and something I haven't done before. For me about 2 months it was any professional pictures what so ever that I needed so I went on the hunt. In the beginning make-up work doesn't just come to you, in fact, hardly anything in life just comes to you with out you putting some welly in to it!

I posted the other day on here the beginnings and 'behind the scenes' if you will of my photoshoot the other day down at The Hastings Observer Building. If you want to check out that post then click here. Being as impatient as I am when I've done a shoot or bridal make-up I want to see the final product of the pictures ASAP so I can share them with everyone. I get so pumped after a shoot and I want them now, but obviously that's not possible seeing as the photographer needs to do all their bits but honestly felt like I was waiting foooooorever to see them (it was a week). But finally they're here! At least some anyway and I'm dead happy with how they've turned out.

And the word is finally spreading!
So this was my lovely client Abi which I mentioned in my last blog post who came from Crawly to come and have her make-up done. I got bare minimum details of the shooting that's going to commence on the day but my brief was just 'flawless' and 'glamour'.
