QUOTES:
Makeup artistry is such an intimate relationship. I don't think people understand that there's a particular type of emotional intelligence, you have to have.
Meeting a bunch of makeup artists who would do consulting made me realize I could do makeup as a career. Instantly, I knew that’s what I wanted to do!
You can't please everybody. When all you have is one client, you don't have anything to fall back on. If you have more clients, you still have other clients if it doesn't work out.
A lot of people that we ask to be on our podcast are excited to come. I think we underestimate the fact that people want to talk.
When doing a podcast, whenever things come up or wherever the conversation goes. That’s the best place to be!
Have a healthy mindset. If it doesn’t work out with a client, it’s not a judgment on you, your talent, or who you are as a person.
