Hello every one smile

I'm Le'Ticia F. Many times published Mua/Hairstylist/Wardrobe stylist & Fashion Photographer....... I am currently looking to offer some of my free time to serious industry people only being up & coming Wardrobe stylist & Hair stylist this time. I am looking to make those folks that I mentor apart of my team to assist on some of my projects etc.... You learn from seeing and doing.

I'm not able to mentor more then 6 people at a time due to I stay very busy. But I can handle at least 2 of each at this time. I currently already mentor 2 local Mua....

I can take on people in Detroit,MI  & Ohio if needed. Also feel free to drop by anytime to ask me questions wink

Thanks so much

I am looking for an established makeup artist that might be willing to mentor me or take me on as an assistant in the UK (sussex/surrey/london) area.
I'll have my own kit and brushes after christmas. and going on a course on 30th Jan 2010.
I think learning from an established artist would really benefit me.

Thank you! :-)

Hi Everyone,

I've been around the forums for a little bit and am starting to feel less shy. Would anyone be interested in mentoring me or allowing me to shadow, assist, clean brushes, grab coffee, etc smile Pretty please!! Also, any critique of my port or work would be appreciated. It's not super strong yet, but I'm continually working out projects to build it. You guys are great and I so appreciate what you are doing here for us Noobs.


ooops! *edit to add:*

I'm in Southern California.

I hope everyone is having a great Holiday season! Not only are we artists but we are saleswomen and men. When your client is sitting in your chair and you are making them look their best, you should also be prepared to send them off with those same products in hand. Always be prepared to sell what you have applied or comprable to it to your clients. It's always a great way to build your ticket. I know we can't do it with our MAC discount, but if you want to, contact me about companys that you can retail their products.

Thanks,
Chandra

I contacted the closest one to me, but she just sent back a one line note saying " No mentoring right now, thanks."

And that's it.

Several others in my area have noted the same result from contact with her - So, I am thinking if she doesn't plan to do it, or has no idea of when she will be able to, perhaps she should update her profile page and not have such a huge ad for it?

In the mean time, if anyone does know of someone in the MD/DC/VA areas or even Northeast NC, please let me know. I am always interested in working with other artists and sharing information and learning new things.

That is unfortunate KristineMarie! I agree it would be in the mentor makeup artists and any makeup artists seeking to assist best interest to remove the banner if a MM mentor does not wish to, or have time to mentor for a period of time.

Of course it would be better if there was a mentor available in everyone's area but if that is not possible/available, you are all able to message any of the mentors listed for general advice.

All the best for 2010!

How experienced do you need to be to be a mentee??

I am just starting out. JUST starting. Like BRAND-plastic-wrap-off new... I would love the opportunity to shadow, assist, clean brushes, keep you company, or just sit and pick your brain...

I am mostly interested in plain ol' beauty makeup, as I really want to do weddings and such.

What I lack in skills, I do make up for with humor, determination, and a big, fat, love of makeup and respect for those that do it. smile I can show my appreciation with really yummy baked goods, too!

I'm in LA.

Hey everyone ^^

I was on the previous list to mentor when I still lived in Toronto and would be happy to mentor again now that I've moved down near to Colorado.  Also I'd like to hook up with some of the Colorado MUA's to mentor me as I change over from Canada to this market smile

Thanks =^.^=

Hi!  I'd love to be a mentor for hair and makeup peeps in Vegas and beyond.  smile  I have a pretty diverse palette of experience.  I sometimes even have apprentice opportunities so that those fresh outta school or the very very green can get experience on set or at a show.

I'd just like to pay it forward....
