I've been a model for 9 years and thought that I would try to get some experience at being an MUA. I have experience in doing most of the makeup in my own portfolio. I also have some basic application training through Avon and Mary Kay as I used to sell it and was informally trained at doing makeup for my classes. However, I would like to gain more experience in this area and more knowledge on doing MUA work for local photographers. Please feel free to message me if you are interested in helping!

More experience?  might try assisting... it's an excellence path into the industry...

work for local photographers? might post and Availability Notice on MM

Make-up artistry is a wonderful exit strategy for those reaching the limits of their modeling endeavors... you can stay in the industry nearly indefinitely and share your modeling wisdom with those who sit in your chair...

all the best on your journey Cherie...

I'm not really giving up llamaing just want to do something else as well to keep me busy and allow me to network with more people and as well as learn new skills and knowledge along the way.
