#11: I Did an Underwater Shoot. Let's Talk About It.
I recently got hired to do a shoot for a book cover but on this cover, the model was going to be lying in a pool full of water.
In this episode I will talk to you about:
How I was contacted about the job
Rate negotiation
Set etiquette (what to wear, what to look out for on the job)
My favourite products for a waterproof makeup application (literally).
These shoots can be so fun, but so labour intensive.

Building Your Kit: Practical Tips For Professional Artists
I am going through the process of renovating and rebuilding my kit and I wanted to chat about what it really means to build a pro MUA kit.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
Functionality is Key: Your kit should be adapted to suit your current client roster and job demands.
Appearance Matters: Your kit speaks volumes about who you are and what you bring to the table. Keep it clean, organized, and stocked with recognizable brands that customers can identify. All of your clients will look at your kit and judge your capability as an artist based on what they see.
Prioritize cost-effectiveness. Especially in the early stages of your career. It can be hard to turn down a Sephora sale, but it will be essential to the growth of your business to spend only on what is necessary.
Continuously assess and adjust your kit based on what works and what doesn't. Focus on functionality and problem-solving rather than following trends or social media hype.
Responsibilities of a Pro MUA: It is your responsibility to show up to your jobs prepared and capable of working on any skin tone.
