What to do as a makeup artist during quarantine: top 8 tips

Since March 17, a strict quarantine has been introduced throughout Ukraine, which includes the closure of all beauty salons, hairdressers and studios. In this regard, the question arises: “What to do at home all this time?” We won’t advise you to watch movies, read books or spend time with loved ones - you already know that. It’s better to focus on what useful things you can do for yourself as a professional.

Take Online Makeup Courses

Quarantine is an ideal period to engage in education. Finally, you have the opportunity to calmly and without haste take online courses that interest you, watch master classes and learn something new. Moreover, many companies, brands and experts are now publishing their courses absolutely free, urging people to stay at home and follow WHO recommendations. Visit the social media pages of your favorite makeup artists from whom you have long wanted to learn - perhaps they are the ones who are ready to share their knowledge for good.

Read professional literature

Now you have enough time to devote to reading books. At your disposal are inspiring books about makeup , literature about promotion on social networks, business, the psychology of communicating with clients, and many other different areas that will be useful in your work. Online book stores are open, so choose the publications that interest you and move on to new knowledge!

Get involved in social networks

Still haven’t gotten around to filling out your profile, making a new video, or telling your subscribers about your favorite products? This is your finest hour! Learn how to set up targeted advertising, take beautiful photos, or master a new channel - everything is in your hands.

Organize your case

Finally, go through all the cosmetics that are in your arsenal. Get rid of products that have expired, as well as products that you never use. Put the remaining tubes/pallets/jars in order so that you can go out to your clients after quarantine with perfectly clean and neat products.

Browse the latest cosmetics

If, after reviewing your makeup artist case, the number of beauty products has decreased significantly, we recommend that you look for new products - you have plenty of time for this. Get acquainted with the new products that the market offers and choose the ones that are necessary, effective and simply terribly beautiful!

Record a master class

If you are active on social networks, your master class in this situation will be watched with pleasure by your subscribers. Do makeup on yourself or someone close to you living in the same apartment. Even a husband will be an excellent model for step-by-step men's makeup technology. Make the most of the situation!

Test new products

Unpack all packages from brands if you actively cooperate with brands, or test new cosmetics that you personally ordered from an online store earlier. What texture, how the color applies, which brush is best to apply the product - get to know the products better so that you don’t waste extra time on this later in your work. And who knows, maybe you will find new favorites?

Take an online course “Makeup for yourself”

Millions of girls are now sitting at home and don’t know what to do. Conduct an online course on makeup for them: share your own knowledge, demonstrate basic techniques, sort out makeup bags. Yes, doing this is more difficult than doing it in person, but at the same time it is much easier than conducting a lesson for professionals. Perhaps it's worth a try?
