Makeup Artist Traits that Go Beyond Skill

The ability to apply makeup for fashion, TV, film, and special effects make a makeup artist extremely valuable. But there are a few traits that are just as important as an artist’s skill. If you want to be a successful makeup artist, consider brushing up on the following personality traits:

A Sunny Perspective

According to many studies, happiness is related to success in all areas of life, including the workplace. Keeping a positive attitude while on the job will benefit your relationships with clients and other professionals in the field. After all, no one wants to be around a “Debbie Downer.” A sunny perspective has also been linked to a stronger immune system.

A Professional Appearance

When it comes to showcasing your talents on the job, there is such a thing as being too casual. Your appearance represents your work, which is why it’s important to dress suitable for the job at hand. Long hair should be pulled back and nails should always be clean and manicured. And, of course, your makeup should be neatly done.

Time Matters

A productive day means staying on schedule. While applying makeup, it’s essential to focus on the project at hand. Avoid picking up phone calls or responding to texts while in the middle of a job. However, it’s also important to know how to multitask, because chances are your client will be working on something else while you’re applying makeup.
