Show Notes
As a new makeup artist, building your kit can feel overwhelming. That's why I'm here to guide you through the process, ensuring you have the foundations (pun intended) to hit the ground running. From understanding different foundation types to setting yourself up for success without breaking the bank, I've got you covered.
Throughout the episode, I'll discuss the critical role of complexion products and why investing in a full shade range (or the products to mix a full shade range) is a non-negotiable.
But it doesn't stop there. I'll also delve into the importance of versatility in your foundation selection, catering to diverse skin tones, coverage needs, and finishes. Plus, I'll share the foundations I rely on and why they're essential to my kit.

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.
