A makeup artist is someone who uses cosmetic techniques and processes to create beauty. In its simplest form, it enhances a person’s appearance, bringing out colour and features and hiding or smoothing out flaws, using a range of different products.
“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick. ”
Setting up a new business is challenging, but with the right tools, knowledge and skills you can set yourself apart from others. Advertising and promoting pay a big part in this, as a makeup artist you should wear your work, create a website, write a blog, film tutorials and network.

The Art of Therapist Diversity
So, really how important is it to be a diverse therapist who is able to offer more than one treatment?
Our answer is VERY. Here at The Beauty Academy we have a range of different courses you can train on to maximise your earning potential. Life isn’t all about money, but lets face it if you’re earning a lot doing something you love, that must be a bonus right? !
The reason why it is imperative to expand your treatment skill set is because NO client is the same. Each of their needs will be catered for by different things. One may get her nails done every two weeks and never have anything else, another may get her eyelashes done every two weeks and never have anything else. This is why it is crucial for you to have a nice broad menu to improve the amount of income you will be able to make as a mobile Beauty Therapist.
Beauty Therapists work in close contact with their clients and that relationship is at the heart of the job, it builds a relationship of trust which is also why demonstrating a wide range of beauty treatments to each client will make them want to stay with you.
