Makeup Artist Money Manual Kindle Edition

Best bang for your buck!! I am a makeup artist and was interested in what Mrs. Amundsen had to say about starting in the makeup industry, and I agree with her wholeheartedly. I was presently surprised that she wasn't discouraging while also brutally honest. One thing she said stuck with me was that if you want to become a Makeup Artist, and think that you get to walk into the room and be thanked and praised all day for your work, then you are highly mistaken - especially working bridal makeup! This is so true, and can really set you off when you are first starting out. Mrs. Amundsen really has a gift for giving great insight that is practical! Highly recommend!

Awesome! Very informative. This book is an easy to follow manual on how to become one of the top MUA's in your area. This book has definitely helped me get out of the "rut" i was in trying to decide if this path is really what I wanted to do. I absolutely love what I do and it never feels like work to me but when it came to the financial aspects of the business i was totally lost. I didn't know what to charge in fear of losing potential clients or worse not giving my work/time the credit it deserves and under charging. Its like she thought of everything! I honestly am so grateful she shared her path with us.

Like the book says there are not many books out there on how to be a makeup artist so I take this persons point of you as a grain of salt. I am A professional makeup artist. I have been doing makeup for a few years and I am just starting to get back in the business after having kids. I feel that some of her points we're really great and the advice that she gave was decent. Although there were chapters that she wrote about her personal experience with things that did not work for her and that's great but what might not work for you might work for others. In reference to listing and advertising your self on social media sites I won't name them specifically- or investing your hard earned money in bridal shows. Like I said what may work for some might not have worked for her and completely shutting a Young Artist down before they even try to see if it would work for them isn't exactly a good idea. Over all I liked it and gained some perspective!

Really helpful, practical advice. I no longer feel like I'm alone in the woods in venturing into the wedding makeup industry (up till now I've only done theater and film, and the wedding biz is totally different). Theresa knows her stuff!!

Great book. Very informative.

Love it

This book us great. Gives you alot of good info, that is definitely needed for this type of business.

I think this book was very inexpensive. It was very informational and informs you on how to make your makeup business more profitable. This book does not teach you the application of makeup but it still comes in handy if you are considering free lancing especially in the bridal industry.

Thus book is for helping you with the business side of becoming a wedding makeup artist. I saw some comments about it not having pictures but that is not the point of this book. The book is based in the US so not everything is relevant for the UK but there have been some good bits that are helpful and make you the k about all the aspects of the business and job.

Easy to read and informative, this book will give you a good start and inspiration on the next step to take. I don't think there is another book out there quite like it.

Happy with this product

I couldn't stop reading this! A very interesting read despite me knowing most of what was in it, there were lots of other considerations and avenues for me to look into.

Excellent
