Hi everyone,
I used to come on this site religiously for quite a while, but I recently had a baby boy, Ayden who is almost 6 months old. Needless to say, its great to be back!
So, on with the questions.
I am a single mom and I don't want to work for someone else and have always dreamed of having my own freelance makeup business. I live in a small town in New Brunswick, Canada and there isn't much going on for makeup. I want to start my own business because I feel there would be a good demand since there isn't much going on.
I'd like to know, I have tons of experience but Im not a certified makeup artist but do people really look at that or care? Also, how do I get my foot in the door and im clueless where to start and how to start.
Also, I'd like to know what things I would need to start the business. Like, products(no need to list name brands) and supplies and where to get them.
I've looked on ebay but its kind of pricey.
And I wanted to know about portfolios too. Ive started one with before and after pics of my friends but it looks a bit childish and like a scrapbook. Any tips?
Any ideas would be a help!!!!!!!!
