Mark makeup to start out as a makeup artist?

answers1: I've used mark, and I even sold it for a short period a few
years ago. While for personal use I thought they were good for the
price, I wouldn't use them as a make up artist. <br>
In my opinion, if I am going to pay someone to do my makeup, say $35
for a makeover which is a very reasonable price as salons charge 50+,
I would not want to have the makeover cost the same price as all the
makeup used on my face, if that makes sense. <br>
If I'm going to pay someone top dollar for a makeover I expect them to
use the top dollar brands. If you're just doing this for friends and
just for fun and don't intend to charge any one or make money, then go
for it. But you can't build a clientele on products that will cost
less than the actual makeover. It's one thing to use one or two
products that you really believe in from them, OR do makeovers AND
sell the mark products so that when they love what you've done you can
sell them product, but that is it. (and that wouldn't be such a bad
idea, maybe $10 to do their makeup as long as they buy one product or
what not) <br>

Hope that made sense and helped :)
answers2: For cat eye, you have to have a steady hand, and have to
realize there's tons of different kinds of cat eye, so experiment with
what you like best. For the smokey eye look, remember that it's
darkest where your liner is, and gradually fades out. You'll need
about 3 to 4 different eye shadows, one dark, one a little bit
lighter, and then a highlight color for underneath your brow. My
favorite technique is putting your liner on your top eyelid, black
eyeliner per say, put it on and then take your makeup brush (use a
relatively small one) dab it in your darkest shadow, and smudge it.
Take your middle color (in between dark and light) and put it on your
eye lid to about a slight (I mean slight) bit over your eye crease.
Now in the inner corner of your eye, put some of the dark color, and
also on the outer corner. Now very very lightly take your brush and
blend it in the with other color. Put your lightest color underneath
your brow. Also, when applying eye liner on the bottom, smudge it with
your shadow. Also, alllwayys dark lashes. I hope that made sense! I'm
out of it today.
answers3: as long as your clients don't mind it there should be no
problem. As a makeup artist you should definitly be open to trying new
brands and techniques as well!
answers4: Hmmm, I love their eyeshadows, but since most of their
foundation is liquid to powder it doesn't do well on everyone's skin.
I tried seriously like 4 and they didn't help very much. You could try
Palladio, I use them and their stuff is really great and not really
expensive. A lot of it is also natural.
