You get Pro Discounts,no way!

The end of 2013 I decided for 2014 I'll follow my dreams and add makeup as my side job.In my previous blog I've mention I've done makeup sporadically and I did obtain a MAC Pro Card as pinup model.I never updated my card due to me wanting cruelty free products in my kit.I hit up a few companies that interest me to get discounts so I can build my makeup kit and I have a modeling background but no pictures of makeup I have done on other people that makes the process of obtaining pro discounts is a bit challenging. Right now I obtain some pro discounts from MUD Cosmetics the one I wanted badly and have good products for dark skin tones.I use their brown corrector to hide ache scars and to even out my skin tone. Frends Beauty they have a lot of products on website and store they cater to makeup artists,theater,special effects makeup(the makeup I don't have the drive for and its very expensive).Recently I got an email from Morphe Brushes saying I got approved for pro discounts and I jumped for joy,they have cruelty free/vegan products and getting makeup brushes and cosmetic products off site,SWEEET!I haven't heard from NYX Cosmetics yet and I know they are backed up on applications right now.

I better have my kit ready by the summer because I've been getting inquires on thumbtack to do makeup for weddings and not yet photo shoots.Thumbtack is pricey and gives me the exposure I want,if I want to give someone a quote it will cost 3 bucks per quote. I've spend 6 bucks already and I'm trying to find another site that have the same service,doesn't cost you money to give quotes and communicate with potential clients.I'm also talking doing makeup for photo shoots with photographers and my niece/assistant will hit up teenagers to do makeup for formals or what not. I've been networking on model mayhem or other places I can post saying hey I want to build my resume let me use your awesome face.If you want me to do your makeup for fun i'm up to it and be prepaid I'll be taking photos=]

What's in my makeup kit?I posted the Hard Candy Mascara Lashaholic on other post and its my second favorite mascara and I want to try out Lash Ink since its waterproof.If you have allergies and your eye water pass on Lashaholic,I do wear it if i'm going out a few hours and if its makeup all day and night then waterproof for me.




Eyelashes!!!You need them in your makeup kit if you want to do makeup.I was told if I want to be a "makeup artist" I have to learn how to apply lashes,I know there's chicks out there that would love to have them.The good thing about lashes is you don't need awesome mascara and the mascara is used to stick the natural eyelashes to fake eyelashes.Plus I love eyelashes anyways and they are good to keep around if I want my makeup to be out there.
