Things to Keep In Your Makeup Bag on Set:
Working on set is a different world from being a freelance bridal makeup artist. When you are on-set working for a production company or commercial gig you need to be prepared for ANYTHING. It looks extremely bad if a-list talent requests something, and you don't have it (you simply won't be getting another booking). As well as your makeup kit, it is important to have a ‘set bag’ to carry your essential products with you from your makeup room to the studio set. That way you can pull out your ‘must need’ products on set or backstage before the talent goes on screen -- and you don’t have to run back and forth from the green room.

CLIENT CONSULTATIONS
It’s your job to make sure that your client is satisfied with the booking details before the appointment. To prepare, there are a few things you should ask about:
Ask your client for inspiration pictures
Ask for photos of themselves (so you can see how they wear their own makeup normally) Ask if they have any concerns (areas they need help with, etc)
Listen to what they want and always respect their choices. You may encounter some requests that you would not necessarily recommend, but at the end of the day you have to be mindful about what the client wants. It’s always good to give the client your professional opinion, but only to a certain degree so that you are always being respectful.
