Ok so at the min I'm a beauty therapist. However in the Salon I work in I do nearly all the make ups, I do all the bridal work and really enjoy it. For Halloween I did all my friends make ups we all went as zombies, and really enjoyed doing something so creative and having on boundaries, I'm only 20 and know I'm still quiet young and still have allot to learn, I've always been mad to do make up artistry, but where I'm from in Ireland the nearest make up course is an hour and a half away, and it's a year long. I don't think having been working for the last 4years I'm in a position to stop work to take a year out for education. I just couldn't fund it the courses are around 7500 not including accommodation or traveling or living. I know there are part time courses but they still involve allot of travelling. I guess what I'm wondering is how many of you if any are self taught make up artists how did you learn? What would you recommend I do? My bfs cousin is a self taught make up artist,I've seen allot of her work but it seems plain and standard enough. I was thinking of asking her for a few lessons or would I be wasting my time if I think I'm almost as good as what she does? I suppose I will learn a few things from her and I don't want to come off to big headed her either. Also how do you advertise and how do you become successful. I had a bride last year and I've already gotten one of her friends booked in for her wedding and the trial went really well howeVer that's through the Salon I work for. Also my bfs cousin, before I used to work in this Salon, was constantly putting it down saying nobody in there could do make up and while I was in college was telling me that the training I would have gotten in college was rubbish and not worth a dame. I agree to a degree but I have learned allot myself and feel I have a natural talent here. Sorry to keep going on and hope you haVen't gotten bored half way through. Any help will be greatly appreciated friends, as I've said I'm only young and I don't know what to do here. Thanks in advance.
Lots of love, lush x
