This for many beauticians starting out is a dream job, making up a bride and her wedding party for the big day is a real pleasure and is great fun!

This type of work usually involves you being self-employed or working for a larger company on a contracted basis and in the case of the former will require a fair set-up cost of buying in make-up and brushes as well as any skin products that you may need. You will also usually need to provide your own transport to the brides chosen venue taking with you everything you need.

Once you are set up it’s all about advertising as much as you can, on social media, in local papers and magazines and at wedding fayres. It’s a good idea to have with you a picture portfolio of previous work that you have done for prospective customers to see what you can do.

Once a customer is interested it’s essential to do a trial before the big day so that you can try out different techniques and make sure you give them the perfect look for their wedding.
