The BURNING things your MUA is dying to tell you… 👀🫣

The BURNING things your MUA is dying to tell you… 👀🫣 Being a Makeup Artist is hard enough as it is, I personally like to be as polite and friendly as possible! Here are 3 things we would LOVE to say but just can’t sometimes 😅 1) - PLEASE Sit up straight! Our backs can only handle so much! Sitting up straight and looking straight ahead helps us create the best glam, the quickest way and the easiest way! Without constantly bringing your chin up etc 🤣 2) AVOID looking at your phone all the time! I personally don’t mind clients looking on their phone, but sometimes we do need to constantly have you looking up or down and we need to access the whole face! Being on your phone stops us doing this and prolongs the appointment 👀 3) DO NOT LOOK until the very end! Now of course you can peek and see what’s going on, but have trust in your MUA! Keep in mind nothing will look good until the final result! Trust the process ✨🫣 What other things do you have in mind as an MUA? Let me know! ✨ #glammakeup #trendingmakeup #makeuptrend #manchestermakeup #makeupreels #makeupartist #muamanchester #trendingreels #makeuptransformation #manchestermua #makeupreel #makeupcontent #makeupvideos #makeupvideo #makeuptrends #makeuptrending #viralmakeup #muaconfessions #makeupconfessions #makeupclients #makeupartistsworldwide #ukmakeup 🔑 makeup reels videos reel content sound viral trend tap glam mua trending inspo

Experience isn’t about years. It’s about hands that know what they’re doing, eyes that see beauty instantly, and calm energy when it really matters. Because real experience shows in the results. I want to thank each and every one of my clients for your trust. Over 12 years, I’ve created thousands of makeup looks and hairstyles—countless brides, fashion shows, graduations, business events, and so much more. I truly believe I could do it with my eyes closed at this point! My team and I are honored to be a part of your most important moments. Thank you for your confidence in us!❤️ #makeupartist #muah #makeupartistpuntacana #bridalstylist

135,803

As a make-up artist with over 12 years of experience, I consider respect for my clients to be a core value of my work. That is why I strictly follow essential hygiene standards at every stage of the process. During makeup application, I work using a protective glove. Before each session, my hands are thoroughly washed with soap and then treated with an antiseptic. Cream products are taken only with a spatula and placed directly onto a special glove, after which I use exclusively clean, freshly washed brushes. I have more than five complete sets of new, clean brushes in my kit. This allows me to guarantee the use of hygienic tools throughout the entire working day, even when I have several clients in a row. I also pay close attention to product expiration dates. Cream-based products expire much faster than powder formulas, and I carefully monitor their condition and replace them when necessary. I work only with high-quality cosmetics and trusted professional tools. I consider all of these steps to be the foundation of my work and, above all, a reflection of my respect for every client. My clients notice this, appreciate it, and I consistently follow these principles at all times. #makeup #nürnbergmakeup #makeupartist #makeupnürnberg #makeupgermany

So many people tell me “I can never get my make up to look like how you do it” Well here’s some tips that will definitely help! 1. Use brushes to apply your make up opposed to sponges or beauty blenders for the most “skin like” but full coverage finish 2. Skin prep is VERY important. Use a primer! 3. Your eyebrows do not match your face structure! Make sure you aren’t distorting your face because your aren’t filling in your brows correctly 4. Your lashes don’t enhance your eye shape. Use lashes that will lift your eyes and enhance your beauty! Make sure to trim them to fit your eye shape (the lashes I use are linked in my bio in my Amazon storefront) 5. You aren’t setting your makeup up properly! Setting powders and techniques will make or break the look!

6 Things I wish I knew as a beginner makeup artist. 1. You really don’t need that many eyeshadow palettes. Grab a brown Toned palette, Rose toned, & Your primary colors if you do things other than bridal. I use the same three palettes for every look. 2. Retainers & Signed contracts show commitment. They protect you as a business owner and your client as a consumer. If either party defaults, you have your contract to protect you both. 3. Having enough brushes saves on time. When you don’t have enough brushes you have to stop in between clients to clean/sanitize your brushes and it takes 10-15 minutes to do that. Save yourself the hassle and buy multiple@sets of brushes, then wash them all later at home. 4. Not every client is your ideal client and that’s okay. Find your niche and those clients will come. I know it’s hard to accept that one person might not love your work. But it’s not personal! Your clients will come to you! 5. It’s going to take years to build a name for yourself. Don’t feel discouraged and compare your level 3 to someone’s level 9. Always practice and always make sure you are doing everything you can to reach your goals. 6. Stay Humble. No one is better than anyone. Having a cocky mindset will only hurt you in the end. We all learn new things everyday in this industry. #muatipsandtricks #muatipsanstricks #muatips #swflmua #beginnerartist #promuatips

Here’s what I would tell my younger self when I first started: 1. Followers does not equal fully booked. Focus on the clients, not the social media following. 2. Charge your worth sooner. Your skill time and products are worth it. 3. Be strict with your deposit policy. End of. No exceptions. . . . #makeupartist #makeuptutorial

Being good at makeup is the baseline now. If clients don’t understand what you do, who you’re for, or why they should choose you, talent stays invisible. Booked-out MUAs don’t just have skill — they show it clearly, consistently, and intentionally. When your work feels solid and your positioning is clear, enquiries stop feeling random. Talent opens the door. Clarity is what gets clients to walk through it. #makeupartistlife #muabusiness #bridalmua #beautyindustry #workingmua
