For most pro makeup artists I know, Brushes are the most important items in our kits. Therefore we can - and should - be quite picky about the brushes we choose.⁣
⁣
I was a bit surprised when Makeup to Go Blog Expert Liza Macawili (@lizamakeup) put @RealTechniques brushes on her Five Favorite Things of Right Now list. But then again, I shouldn't be because a number of artists I admire - many of whom I know personally - all say the same thing: the Real Techniques brushes are bomb. ⁣
⁣
Guess I'll stop being a complete snob and try some out 🙃. Tell me your fave Real Techniques brushes in comments.⁣

It's time for another Roundtable of the Makeup to Go Blog Council of Experts (aka The Experts)!⁣
⁣
This time around we are tackling the subject of our Five Favorite Products of Right Now. It was going to be five fave products of all time but, let's be real, that's too tough a task. I don't know about you but while there are some products that would definitely make that list, part of the FUN of makeup artistry is trying all the new shiny things. You never know when a one-shoot fling will become your new makeup bae 😉⁣
⁣
Our recommendations run the gamut from high end to drugstore, from pro makeup brands to the latest trendies. With 6 artists each recommending 5 products they love, we warn you now: This post may make you wanna go shopping.

Are you using pro makeup products in your pro make

What is a makeup artist portfolio? Young artists

What is a makeup artist portfolio?

Young artists nowadays are inundated with images on Instagram all the time but a lot of times when you go to work with a client the first thing they want to see is a Portfolio.⁣
⁣
Showcasing your work on Instagram is important but having a professional portfolio has not yet disappeared.⁣
⁣
What is more is I’ve noticed that even the popular makeup artists who choose to use social media to further their business - what they show on social media is *very different* than what they show in their working professional portfolio. Therefore when young artists ask me how they can get certain types of PAYING work the answer remains the same: you gotta work on your portfolio.⁣
⁣
Whenever you work on your portfolio – print or motion because there are portfolio types for both – you need to make sure you are getting better with each and every project you work on. Otherwise you’re going in circles and wasting time.⁣
⁣
If you are trying to figure out where your portfolio stands or where you should go next, Makeup to Go is here to help you. Our Portfolio Audits can help you frame your work in its best light. And if you have questions, as always we are only a DM away.

Can I share a story with you?⁣
⁣
This is me organizing old photographs. I have at least one copy of every single photograph, every single magazine, and any sort of print collateral (that I could get a copy of) that I have ever worked on dating back to my very first test shoot. Good thing I have a big house, right? Lol⁣
⁣
Gosh darn it my early stuff really wasn’t that bad! One thing I consistently like in my older images was I was not afraid of taking risks. I need to do more of that going forward. 😊⁣
⁣
Wherever you are in your career - from you are just finishing school, to working a counter, etc. - IF you are building a book towards working in makeup for photography honor where you are in your career right now. ⁣
⁣
It is incredibly easy to get wrapped up in the hustle of trying to work and in the comparison game. Both of those things – I think – separate us from appreciating and enjoying our ARTISTRY, which I’m sure most of us would agree is the FUN part of what we do. 🤗⁣
⁣
Hopefully one day you, too will have a bed completely covered with photographs of your work, and I’m here to help you get there.⁣
⁣
What challenges might you be having in developing your portfolio right now?
(I’ve already been asked twice - YES this is all my work. All makeup in these images was done by me. 🙂)
