Is this your very first time applying makeup on clients? You need to think about what you're willing to charge by the look they want and how long it would take.find out what other places charge for certain looks and decide if you would want to go lower or higher.as far as what type or brand of makeup really isn't the factor it's what they want on there skin.did you have a conversation about their skin type? I always asked those questions it helps.

Nateeya, I'm not a MUA so I don't have any real tips for you but I just wanna say that I'm sure you'll do an amazing job! If this woman was impressed enough by your YouTube channel to contact and hire you, you've obviously got skills and you shouldn't be so nervous. Best of luck to you and be sure to let us know how it goes! :)

Nateeya, that's awesome! I'm sure you'll do an amazing job! Be sure to relax and enjoy the process. So much of doing makeup as a professional MUA is giving your clients confidence. Speak from the heart and they will feel super beautiful for their event! Pretty soon, you'll be doing this all the time! I know it!
