  • Lesson 1 of 23
  • 5 min read
  • Free lesson

You do make-up for people going to events: matric dances, weddings, parties, graduations and photoshoots. You work at your place, the client's home or the venue.

What you offer

  • Single faces (matric dance, party, photoshoot).
  • Bridal: a trial before the day, then the wedding morning.
  • Bridal party and family packages.
  • Add-ons: lashes, touch-up kits, travel.

Who pays: matric learners and their parents, brides, guests and photographers.

A good sign: a first paid booking and a client photo you may share.

Quick check

Pick an answer to see how you did.

In a typical case, how long until the first money comes in?

Your challenge

Check it before you spend

Do make-up on five friends and photograph each in daylight.

You are done when:

  • You wrote down what you found
  • You know whether to carry on or adjust

You report this yourself. Nobody checks, so it only counts if you really did it.
