Hi all, I've done makeup for a few websites and I'm wondering if it's appropriate to put this on my list of experience? Does it matter if they have since used other models and other MUAs for their campaigns? I'm sure they won't mind the free advertising but I'd like to put it on my...

Hi everyone I'm only just starting out my career and I'm looking to get more bridal work. I was having a talk with my husband about it and he mentioned our friends that are getting married in July and if the bride knows I am trying to get makeup work. I said I wasn't sure but it got me...

I was going to post this in the Industry Discussion forum, but I thought it best to put it here because at the moment I'd rather Australia specific discussion. I am planning on doing my course hopefully in August, I think I will be doing the Cert IV. I heard this is the minimum qualification...
