Show Notes
I recently got hired to do a shoot for a book cover but on this cover, the model was going to be lying in a pool full of water.
In this episode I will talk to you about:
How I was contacted about the job
Rate negotiation
Set etiquette (what to wear, what to look out for on the job)
My favourite products for a waterproof makeup application (literally).
These shoots can be so fun, but so labour intensive.

This is the final episode of the Artist to Artist podcast. After 60 episodes, I'm putting the podcast on hiatus to focus my mentorship energy inside the membership, where I can go deeper with artists building sustainable careers.
Before you set any goals for 2026, you need to assess where you actually are right now. Most makeup artists skip this step and wonder why nothing changes year after year.
If you're waiting until January to start planning your next year, you're already behind.
If you've been sending DMs to photographers and vendors and getting nothing back, this episode is going to change how you think about networking forever.
Speed is a non-negotiable in this industry, but it doesn't mean sacrificing quality or cutting corners on hygiene. In this episode, I break down the myths self-taught and new makeup artists believe about working fast, share the moment I realized speed was actually a skill, and walk through the systems that let you work efficiently without ever putting client safety at risk.
