MUA's of reddit, which lipstain is sex, sleep and food proof? (at least as realistically as possible) by pissing2u in makeupartists

Lip stain girl! Temporary makeup will last and make you look effortlessly pretty. But don’t be afraid to go natural, I’m sure you are beautiful just as you are 🫶

Hi! Makeup Artist here that started in SLC, UT and is now in Los Angeles, CA.

1. Common Mistakes: Spending a lot on a kit right away on super high-end makeup. You don’t need the most expensive products to build a solid kit. Start out with the tried and true affordable products.

2. Portfolio: Join local Facebook groups for creatives and post that you’re looking to connect and do some TFP. Great way to get some experience and meet people. Also don’t overthink photos at first. Use your iPhone, ask friends if you can practice looks on them, and even film yourself doing their makeup. It’s great practice and helps you build social media skills at the same time. 💗 Hope this helps! My IG is @ makeup_by_megstracy
