@monadenty_beauty: MUAs, please give me some advice! 🥹 How did you cope when you were just starting out with little to no clientele? How did you get your first clients and build up your bookings? I’d genuinely appreciate any tips, advice or things you wish you knew when you started. 🫶🏾✨ No gatekeeping please! 😂 #MakeupArtist #MUACommunity #NewMUA #MakeupBusiness #MakeupArtistTips
Not seeing alot of others saying this for some reason but mentorship!!! Working with and for other artists has been the biggest way that quickly got me booked making consistent income doing makeup! Find bridal artists in your area and dm every single one asking for assisting jobs and tell them your free whenever they need an extra set of hands! Then youll get work without needed a huge portfolio necessaily and can grow your portfolio quickly!! Seriously i met the best people idk where id be without them! Just no matter what don’t sign to a team that puts you on a non compete

Post on the local Facebook groups, post daily at first, work on model, post on apps that people use to book, we have here “MERO” but I think there are similar apps there, be sure to get a good review from the clients

Well I saved to rent a spot in a salon inside the mall and the customers came flowing in. Best marketing strategy ever. Didn’t get many clients at first but because it’s a mall, many people eventually got curious as they always saw me do makeup on clients by the window and the rest is history. Moral of the story, Marketing is key 🔑 especially if you want to have your locals know lock 🔐

Yes, social media is a great way to advertise your work. But to me, your best advertising is your clients themselves! How they communicate their experience to others!
