Whats keeping you stuck?
Most Make up artists have their priorities WRONG!
Artistry.
Professionally trained Make Up Artists are competent..READY! BUT Artistry doesn't get you work! I know right?
Clients.
Knowing who your dream client is and actually getting to work with them is unfortunately very rare for make up artists.

You have some peers from Make Up School or University. GREAT! But do they help you or hinder you? No mentor Coach or Support.

The goal here is to build confidence, competence and an army of high standard professional Make Up Artists.
By investing in a mentorship program you create a plan for success, so that success becomes inevitable.
You CAN follow your dreams and have fun along the way.
Do you find yourself asking questions like...
Is my training enough?
We meet each artist where they are at. Developing a plan & strategy that is achievable for them. Not everyone requires the same level of education.
How much should I charge?
Why does no one talk about money in the freelancing world? Well, we do! Let us help you figure out your worth. Each level, each area has different ways to cost up a job. You have to know this!
Who shall I work for?
A lot of us know we love make up but then it stops there! From bridal to Baftas, celebrity to children's parties, finding your place in the industry is easy when you know your options!
How do I plan for success?
Breaking down the steps, prioritising business and taking everything back to basics is what The 'Industry Pro' blueprint is all about. You have a roadmap right here... you just need to show up and do the work.
Do I have to study hair?
Hair dressing helps! But there is a few ways you can fast track your skills to get you on set. You definitely don't need to take three years becoming a hair dresser... unless you want to of course!
How do I find freelance work?
Most artists give up before fulfilling their potential, Because no one teaches where or how to find work! This is hard - Fact. You need to build a system of looking for work and also 'go the other way around' there are many ways to paint a face.
