Hello everyone! I'm a full-time student pursuing a business degree and I want to be a makeup artist more than anything. I've been in love with makeup since I was little and I'd love to make it my career. I have photos of a couple makeovers I've done recently and I'd appreciate any feedback that you have!

They look great!

Make a www.starnow.com account and post all your looks on there. You can also apply for local photoshoots and short movies/music videos to gain more experience in the field/a bigger client list.

Goodluck :)

I had a account awhile ago and got to work on a student horror film :)
You have to pay like $6 or something per month but its really worth the money.

You can also post your own ads for free and ask for like beginner models, stylists and photographers who want to expand their portfolio then say that no one gets paid but the photos can be used for their portfolios as long as everyone is creditted for their work. I did that and had heaps of people willing to participate :)

Modelmayhem is another option, but the photos have to be of your work on someone else. Its free for a beginning account. You trade work much in the same manner as Paige explained for the other site! No payment, but often great connections and eventually you can work your way up to paid gigs.
