I am definitely shut down, since it was recommended (and I agree) to help prevent the spread! I have been having time to work on my website, started gathering films I’ve worked on to (finally) do my reel and keep updating my portfolio. I also have been studying doing make-up projects at home to boost my social media.

I have been spending a lot of time on Pinterest to get new ideas and inspirations to keep my creativity flowing, aside from planning make-up projects to start posting more on my pages, for example, doing a lot of face charts – and each time getting a better technique on them!

Definitely keeping in touch with clients/directors that I have worked with, and a social media revamp coming soon!

If you are struggling financially, what has helped you get by?

Not right now, but I have been cooking my own food – which is something I love to do but never had time to do it – and that helps to save some money. Not spending with gas, also saves a lot. Just by spending only on essentials is already a huge financial (and environmental) help. 

What can clients do to support your business?

Definitely gift cards or donations help make-up artists who are struggling. If they can’t help that way, then sharing the MUA’s work on social media, telling their friends about what a great MUA that person is, that’s already a huge help. 

 

What and/or who is inspiring you? 

Literally any artist who has a passion for what they do. I just love watching those people’s content. Also, watching movies that required a lot of make-up done are very inspiring to me, wondering how it must have been like to be on that set and having that attention to detail so the make-up would come out as perfect as it was.
