Sorry this is a long one, I apologise in advance.
I've been trained in make up for nearly 2 years (Vtct)
I've also attended classes with various other companies (illamasqua, local make up artists, sue moxley, Essex make up & hair academy, Essex beauty school) to try and learn as much as I possibly can from different people.
My make up knowledge is spot on (without being big headed) I've read so many books, researched etc I'm confident in my knowledge it's just transferring it to a face that I'm not confident with.
I also watch tutorials and practice when I can (Around my day job & at weekends which is a bit difficult)
I have my kit all bought & prepared and offer make ups to family & friends but I don't feel confident enough to advertise for clients I don't know.
I feel stupid & like I'm never going to feel ready. Obviously my friends & family will only tell me I should and that I'm good enough but I don't feel it at all.
I did a wedding trial & on the day make up and the lady was really happy. This was in August.
I came across her on a Facebook page & had a little bout of confidence but it's gone again. I feel like giving up and that I'm never going to get there.
How long did it take you to feel confident enough?
I'm obviously not naturally talented in this area which is why I'm trying to work super hard but I'm just working out if I'm wasting my time or should persevere with it.
I'm so passionate about make up but I don't want to be in this position for another 2 years. [emoji17]
I'm also 4 months pregnant and have a summer house I can work from so this is added pressure as I ideally wanted to work a couple of days from home whilst on maternity leave & after baby is born.
My mind is in a spin
Can anyone offer me some constructive advice?
Thanks
Sam
