Words to live by.We all meet beautiful women. Extraordinarily handsome men. In our business life. Compliments are always a bonus. But they should be given discreetly. And in private.
On name-calling....."Hey *****. You're a good looking dude. You're a modern day Cary Grant. I bet you have girls . . ." and I've forgotten the rest. I was still fixated on what I considered to be an inappropriate comment. Made more inappropriate because the other entrepreneur wasn't included in the compliment.
Yes I have! I love the idea of owning my own brand. I’m in the process of learning how to make my own products! My journey will definitely be posted on this forum.Welcome,
Have you thought about opening your makeup studio(or whatever the name is)?
Eventually, you can start making your own makeup products after you build a following.
I've seen a lot of popular makeup Instagram accounts like these.
Thank you!!I'm really glad that some this awesome is on this forum. you are an amazing woman.
Thank you!
As a freelance makeup artist what I tend to struggle with is not having enough product for my clients. I tend to run out of face products quicker, which can get pricey. So with that being said, I’m focusing on bringing more people in to make more money to purchase products.Welcome! As a makeup artist, what is your most present problem?
Thank you for the suggestions and the advice. I will take everyone’s suggestions into consideration as I’m always open to new ideas!As a doting husband, I have spent far more on makeup for my wife than most people ever should. She is a former model of sorts, having entered the profession but decided to not pursue it. I am glad to have such a beautiful wife, although physical beauty is only a small part of who she is.
Nevertheless - everyone is vain.
I wanted to point out that several shopping malls we frequent have VERY upscale beauty "parlors" that appear to make a lot of money. I also send her to a spa for a day every now and then for a whole day treatment, including massage and extensive beauty treatments. I'm surprised at how full their calendar always is!
Judging from your picture, you are not afraid to be daring. I would not hesitate to have someone like you tend to my wife on one of her outings. I would not be surprised if she became a "regular" customer of yours either.
With all of that said - I think your goals of producing make up of some kind may be too monumental. That is one very saturated high stakes business, and the players are huge. If I were you, I'd get into the very lucrative salon business of some sort. After learning that business, I would open my own salon - then several after that.
I have a friend that did that for just the quick hair cut type of business and the money he made from renting space to stylists was great. His business was much more low key - not the upper end of the glamour spectrum where I think you should be.
Not everyone can achieve reaching mountain tops. I've been around enough to have a much more realistic view on things. If you owned ONE salon, you would be considered successful by anyone's standards. If you had several, you would be a superstar. If you tried to go up against industry giants, you could be crushed and demoralized to the point of never trying again. I would be proud to have a daughter like you - and for those reasons I am trying to "temper" your dreams to match up with reality more. After you have several salons, you can HIRE a lab to concoct something for you, with you not having to do ANYTHING. They will do it all. Celebrity endorsements are steep for really good ones - and that's where I can help you too. I will work for a pittance of what Johnny Depp would charge you. LOL.
Good luck. Take it one step at a time. Don't try to be a super hero until you can afford to enter that world just for fun. Doing it as your livelihood will just be too much to bite off at this stage of the game.
And, by the way, I take offense at the hot comment too. My wife is hot - she knows it - I also remind her of it enough, but not too much - and she DOES take offense at other people THINKING they can INTRUDE into her "personal space" with such a comment. It IS offensive to INTRUDE and PUSH yourself onto someone using a "compliment" such as this. I have told more than one clod to stand down, sit down, and shut up - in a classy way, of course. And one more thing - I have a LOT of hot women that are close friends of mine. A big part of that friendship is that I treat them with great respect, which they tell me is a rarity among men. I have even had other men ask me to introduce them to these hotties. I always refuse. If they are not man enough to KNOW how to conduct themselves, and if they don't have the confidence, then they don't have enough to offer women in the first place. Funny that they think I would understand, just because I'm a man. I do, but that doesn't mean that I accept their boorish behavior and stunted development of class. Harsh? Maybe - but part of the benefit of being a man is I CAN be more harsh than women, and unfortunately I do have to be every now and then...
Remember me when you are shocked at what Johnny Depp wants...
I enjoyed reading it.Hi everyone! My name is Kayla and I am 19 Years old, turning 20 in February. I'm super excited to be apart of this forum to connect with awesome, likeminded people!
To start off, I am a Makeup Artist located in Columbus, Ohio who aspires to become an entrepreneur. I have a passion for makeup and the beauty industry and I love transforming the way people look and feel about themselves. I've been doing makeup on myself for almost 6 years now, but I just started freelancing not even a year ago.
This all started last year when I had a wake up call, mostly all because my boyfriend of almost 5 years told me what he wanted in life and that he didn't want to be living the slowlane lifestyle forever. I never realized how the system worked and that I was basically under a spell. "Go to school, get a good job, save 10% of every paycheck, retire, then die." To me that is something that really scares me now. Why would I want to live life without achieving anything I want or dream of? I always knew there were people out there who were living their dream becoming millionaires, but I never thought that could be me. Until Now.
I didn't really start taking action until around the middle of 2017. A lot of that year was me being an action faker. I knew what I had to do, I just didn't want to leave the safe feeling of my comfort zone. Once I stopped bullshitting around and really realized that my time is something that I should value more than anything, thats when I started taking control. I started watching a lot of youtube videos on mindset, taking action, and just educational videos like TedxTalks, Gary Vee, Brian Tracy, Bob Proctor, Lisa Nichols, Simon Sinek, and a bunch more. I'm changing my mindset completely, from living the sidewalk and slowlane to living the fastlane.
After reading Think and Grow Rick and TMF , I had a serious kick in the a$$ about how I was thinking and living. It needed to change. Now I can say that I am more focused on the process then the result. As of right now I'm freelancing on models and working with different photographers to build my portfolio and to just get out there. I have recently started a blog about what I know about makeup application, tips and tricks, reviews of products, and more. What I am trying to achieve is owing my own makeup brand. I don't want to create something new, but make the existing products better than everyone else. I've been doing a lot of research on what brands lack, problems, solutions, and ways that I can be a producer and not a consumer. If you read this whole thing and have any questions, tips, or anything else to help that would be awesome! Thanks for reading!
Thank you!I enjoyed reading it.
You are much smarter than most people at your age, which still behave like teenagers.
You're welcome, madame.Thank you!
