    Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if ye had any ideas has to how I could promote myself as a newly qualified Makeup artist. I am already a beauty and massage therapist but I LOVE make up artistry. I was thinking of maybe seeking the help of a similarly newly qualified photographer and perhaps an unexperienced model that all wished to promote themselves. Has anyone done this and found it helpful????

    As you said, you can get in contact with photographers and models that are starting out. It's always handy to build a relationship with a photographer when you're both starting out, as you'll both benefit. Join sites like Model Mayhem too.

    You can also study in a specialised area of makeup, such as beauty or fashion, and set your aims at an ITEC course. Most courses will provide their own photographer to get images for your portfolio, which will get you more work.

    Enjoy!

    What Fajitas said.

    It might be appropriate to be a little cautious on model mayhem, at least don't go somewhere alone.

    You could also have a look around www.filmmakersnetwork.ie - I think there might be a forum in there you could explore...

    Fajitas & Hugh_C hit it on the head. Get yourself known to as many photographers/film makers etc as possible as that way when they start to look for someone to do the make-up that you are an option.

    It is critical you get a portfolio together and have a varied one too ie not all headshots, but can include different locations, styles to match clothing etc
