Purchase a kit

Learn New Makeup Styles 

From creating long lasting and flawless makeup application to designing concepts for different occasions, you must keep us with what’s currently trending

Choose a specialization 

Instead of trying to master multiple makeup styles at once, successful artists always choose a particular aspect of makeup to specialize in. For example, you can do Makeup for Film/TV, specialize in South Asian Bridal Makeup, or even become a celebrity makeup artist! 


Build Your Portfolio 

Never forget to take pictures of your work. Visuals are important in the make-up industry as it’s often hard to describe the final outcome. So, make sure you keep receipts of all your creative work and manage your portfolio, resumes, and other networking profiles.


Collaboration and Communication

Successful makeup artists socialize with their clients and understand their customer’s skin type and shape to provide a unique look. You never know who is your best advocate and may help you climb the ladder of success!


Market and promote your services 
No one will know if you don’t tell them. Learn how to promote your work on social media as creatively as possible. Don’t be scared to show off your skills as they will help your business grow!
