I remember i was getting my makeup done for home coming and my home coming date canceled on me out of no where. so, i am on the verge to having a panic attack cause i told my friend i am going with him and they already had plans so i couldn’t just jump into it. SO! the makeup girl was super cool and understanding and she gave me the best advice ever. she told me to let my tears out and i did. and so, she re did my makeup. when it was over, she says “how about you go to home coming with my son? he is the same age as you, just goes to a different school.” and i said “you know what, screw it.” and i ended up meeting him and going to hoco with him. we were literally so close in just the spam of like an hour. we were so comfortable around each other and became very close. anddd, now he is my boyfriend . we have been together for almost a year. ❤️ edit: i refuse to believe this is at 2.5k likes that’s crazy! me and my boyfriend are both shocked right now haha!
My aunt is a makeup artist and she told m about this client named Snané (Shay: nay) about 19-21 asking for a glam makeup do for a date she has in 3 hours. So my aunt told her to wait a minute while she gets out her more high quality stuff/ more glamorous and that she’d be back in 10 minutes. As she is leaving the room she hears her client say “maybe when I call for the oppointment you should have had it out already.” But my aunt proceeded to get this makeup. When she got back she tapped the client on the shoulder and said ok I’m ready just sit in that chair right over there and we’ll get started ASAP. Shané said ok then sat in the chair. This girl took a full on makeup bag from the dollar store and poured it out on the desk in front of my aunt then says “ I think you should put your crappy makeup up and use mine.” So my aunt checked through this bag (with permission) and said “ um not to be rude but this is like dollar store brand and it is also all matte or gray and covered in makeup chunks so let’s stick with what I have.” This gurl shives all the makeup in her bag and when aunt isn’t looking took a really expensive lipstick of my aunts and shoved it in there too. Then she searches through the bag and pulls it out then says “ Looks like you can recognize good makeup when you see it because this was right in front of your face and you called it dollar store brand.”. My aunt could tell she stole it because it wasn’t covered in makeup like her other stuff but she let it go. By th8s time it had been an hour of this gurls bickering so she only had two hours and only had her cakey chunky too dark for her skin foundation on. Then my aunt started the makeup and when she finished Shané left. My aunt saw her take some makeup remover out of her purse and wipe it all off on her way out. Thanks for reading if you did- that was my aunts worst client
I threw up...but I had a bowl and told the lady ahead of time I have cyclic vomiting syndrome. She insisted she wanted to make me look pretty to feel better. I gave her a 20 tip
Rebecca Jimenez no offence but I would hate to have that. I have emetophobia (fear of vomit) and if I had your vomiting “problem” then I would be passing out every day 😂
My favorite thing is when a client says they want a smokey eye and then when you're done they get mad at you because it's not natural enough and that it's to smokey and it's like do you not know what a smokey eye is because I did exactly what you asked of me. Ugh it's so frustrating.
I feel you girl. It’s very annoying . That’s why when a client asks me for a smokey eye I’m like ok what do you really want tho??? because you most certainly don’t want a smokey eye if you’re complaining how dark a shadow is. I get it some people don’t know but when you hear “smokey” it’s kind of common sense that it’s some type of intense dark look.
My mom was a hairstylist and makeup artist, then got into office work. She was doing an office coworker's wedding party and they had 'hired' another woman (a bridesmaid's mom with a costume makeup pallette) so my mom had already done a consultation to make sure she knew what the bride wanted and did one bridesmaid so the other lady could see what the finished look is supposed to look like. The lady was caking on makeup and getting a cheap knockoff look. After everyone is done, the bride freaks out and has my mom redo the other lady's work. Lady proceeds to go crazy once she sees my mom isn't just 'touching up' and that I'm helping her. The lady threw her open kit at my mom; makeup gets everywhere and the lady storms off cursing saying that she's going to call people because my mom is using child labor, undermining her work, and being a know-it-all fake professional. To this day I have no clue how my mom was a letter to stay so calm and finish everyone's makeup. We went home afterwards and the bride didn't even tip. My mom has never done a wedding since (she even hired a makeup artist for my sister's wedding makeup)
My former flat mate got a professional makeup artist for her wedding. She kept going on about how as soon as an artist heard the word ‘wedding’, they jacked the price up. On the day, she asked her artist about it, and the artist just rolled her eyes and said ‘Bridezilla insurance’.
maryavatar makes sense. Brides are stressed and the makeup artist has to deal with that. But it only makes sense if the makeup artist stays calm and helps calm the bride and not get frustrated and make things worse.
I’m also a makeup artist and I had one client come in for hair and makeup and the receptionist had told her ahead of time not to wash her hair for an updo. This girl smelt and looked like she hadn’t showered for a month. I had to ask her to wash her face and the hairdresser used gloves to do her hair. We ended up double sanitizing everything once she left. Always make sure your clients understand what your saying
unicorn chic. She came in with a bridal party and they were late so there was absolutely no extra time. And for an updo to stay as long as possible it’s better if it’s two or 3 days dirty bc it adds texture. If the hair is to soft its harder to get it to do what u want.
unicorn chic If your hair is squeaky clean, it slips out of an updo. My daughter does Ballet and can't wash her hair on the day of a show. But when they say dirty, they mean not washed that day.
Patricia Olmeda I helped a friend out last minute with a wedding. There were 4 bridesmaids and the bride who needed updo's. I told my friend to tell them the same thing. We got there and ALL these bitches had FRESH OUT OF THE SHOWER DRIPPING WET CURLY HAIR!!!
Ohhhh I was doing a girls makeup for prom once, and she was adamant that she do her own eyeliner. I was like okay cool, some people get a little paranoid around the eyes so I let her... and she proceeded to go full on raccoon eyes with black eyeliner. My boss came by right after and I had to run to her office and tell her I didn’t do that 😂🤦♀️
That last one with the actress on set got a couple of hundred, while still having time for a next client. If their rep lets them charge more, they can, but it seems like a lot already.
Mad respect to makeup artists doing their thang. Honestly, I work in healthcare and couldn't do what you lovely folks do. I know if it weren't for my makeup artist, I would have looked like a zombie on my wedding day...so THANK YOU!!!
I'm not a make-up artist but a nail-tech... and BRIDES. ARE. THE. WORST. EVER!! Last year I had a lot of brides-to-be and omfg they are a nightmare, a headache and a pain in general. I've had a lot of compliments at how I do my work and how careful I am, but brides are so full of stress that whatever you do they only see a disaster.
It's society and soap operas...I swear, soap operas brainwash some girls into thinking their guys are going to be that gutless coward who abandons them.
The worst makeup artist I have been to was for my cousin's wedding. I was one of the bridesmaids, and the MUA was hired to do my cousin (the brides) makeup and like three of the bridesmaids (the others were doing there own makeup). When the MUA got there I informed her that I have sensitive skin, and my skin reacts easily. So the bride gets her makeup done first then the bridesmaids, I was getting my makeup done third, and as she's doing my makeup I noticed the blush she was planning on using was one that had reacted bad to my skin before. So I tried to tell her I needed a different blush, and she was like "no, it'll be fine, so can you be quiet" I was a bit scared as I have anxiety and things like getting told off trigger it. So when she finishes my makup she moves on the the next girl. The ceremony went great, the reception was going smoothly until my cheeks started to get itchy. When I noticed the itching it was time for the first dance and I didn't want to make a scene, so I ignored it and the wedding continued. When the wedding ended and my cheeks felt like they were on fire, I finally got to take my makeup off. When my makeup was fully off, my cheeks were like a tomato, they were that red, and there was a rash As well. So I ad this rash for about a month. The lesson I learned is to speak up and not to just bite my tongue.
I love people who try to tell me how to do my job. It makes me laugh every time. I work in theatrical costuming and the number of actors who think they know what's period appropriate amuses me to no end. Like, tell me all about your degree in fashion history and tell me in extensive detail about what's period appropriate so I can focus on my job and you can go back to yours.
Brides are the worst ! I used to sell bridal gowns and evil clients shows 70% of the time... I tried differents boutiques with different budgets to compare, all the same... Dont get married if its stressed you so mutch that's turned you into a monster !
I wanna be a part time digital artist, and take commisions. I've heard a lot of commission artists tell their nightmare stories with terrible clients. Lol the best jobs carry some of your worst nightmares.
Dina has super pretty hair but OMG HER EYES AHHHH :o amazing xo and naisha is gorgeous and I WANT HER LIPSTICK AHHHH SO PWETTY XO Ah I'd really like to learn how to do makeup x3
So i was attending my step moms wedding, and when the makeup artist was finished she started doing everyone else {which were all girls lol}. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO here is where is gets bad. like REALLY bad. So my cousin was told by my dad to knock on the door and ask if we were done so I YES I was the one opening the door and my cousin barged in like a MANIAC and started playing around. After a couple of stares and whispers I finally said '' Okay {cousins name} what do you want" of course... he didn't answer so I gave him an evil eye. There was paint in the corner of the room {for some weird reason}. He walked over, looked me STRAIGHT IN THE EYE and guess what he did. { just a little info on him, he isnt the nicest person in the world if your asking MY WHOLE FAMILY} He looked me DIRECTLY IN MY EYES and said '' you look very pretty {my name} but you know what could make it better?...'' I start to get a little worried because of the little smirk on his face. I say '' w-w-what would make it b-better hehe"................................ HE SPLASHED RED AND PINK MIXED PAINT ON MY WHITE FLOWER GIRL JUMPSUIT {yes i said Jumpsuit}/ brides made jumpsuit and the wedding started in 5 minutes but it turned out to be a win-win for me because we {somehow} made the paint look like roses and my cousin got grounded for 2 weeks. {btw im a girl, using my grandfathers computer} BAIIII
God... I felt so so SO bad for the makeup artist at my sister's wedding. He was the husband of one of her coworkers. He was awesome and really sweet. He was hired to do my sister (obviously), my mom, and myself. So three people. We are having a great time, I complimented his tie (it had hidden R2D2s on it, super nerdy and cute), I loved his tattoos, he was really cool and kinda quiet, doing his job, etc. The mother of the groom inserts herself into the bridal party's room as we're getting ready (without asking and not ready at all). She then asks this poor man to do her makeup last minute, which he does. And she starts preaching at him from the chair that he was a sinner because he was a gay man in a happy relationship with another man. My family was shocked. My mom, who is also a very staunch Christian, was horrified. To this day I feel horrible for him and I regret not knowing what to say to defend him or get her on another subject and off his back. To every makeup artist out there, bless your souls.
The year was 2010. I was putting up the finale touches on this young lady who was rich, as i am almost done i felt something on my arm. Like moving my arm hairs. I look down and it was 2 lice on my arm. Well i know i aint got lice so now im looking at her hair. They crawling everywhere.
A friend of mine is a makeup artist and she told me she once got a one-star review that said: "This lady doesn't know how to apply false lashes. It fell off just 2 days later!"
This was my first ever client and I wasn’t really sure what I was doing The girl was going to prom, and before I started she kept on saying that she wanted everything to be perfect. I did the makeup, and I was VERY proud of myself. It was probably the best look that I had ever done, and all the shades matched her dress perfectly. But then the girl said to me no no this isn’t right so I redid it. We went through this cycle around 4 times when I said that I was gonna stop and whatever she got, she would have to take. I decided to do the EXACT same thing that I did the first time, and she loved it. Me: .................You....................
Bless your heart for being so patient! I understand you were starting and wanted to make sure she was satisfied with your job, but a funny suggestion: next time you get someone like this, charge full price each time you have to redo! LOL
Did you have a meeting with the bride before her wedding to work with her to try a few makeup and/or hair looks. Maybe do one side of her face with one look and then the other side of her face another. May even use a computer to show her several looks. Then let her pick 2 of those, that you will do on her face and let her pick the side she likes.
gotta love people who think they can make you do creative work for them for free. Work is work. Just because it's art doesn't mean it's cheap or we can or will do it whenever we can. We wanna get paid for our work.
I absolutely loved my makeup artist’s work for my wedding day. He asked me to rate his work on his Facebook page and like the page and do all that stuff. So I was like okay, you did amazing work so I’ll let folks know about his craft. Come to find out months later, he was posting memes that were shaming women who didn’t wear makeup, and doxxing “problem” clients on his PROFESSIONAL page. Called him out for it and his brainwashed fan horde attacked. Couldn’t believe how unprofessional this guy was towards people and how he used his own business’s page to shame women for not wearing makeup. It’s sad when a truly talented person gets so petty and arrogant that they think they are untouchable by “peasant “ hands
Im one of them girls who dont do make up and everytime someone bashing me for that im just gonna say "im not gonna slap you just bcs im keeping these hands from that 🐍 skin, no wonder you use make up"
I've been doing makeup for years and until recently I finally felt confident in my work to charge. All my friends think that I love doing makeup and I would love doing it for free. I've done more free gigs than paid, this is obviously my fault for not having a back bone. Over the years I've felt my work was not good enough because people didn't want to pay me and I felt that was a reflection on me. Wrong. People don't want to pay for makeup. I've given friends discounts and then they didn't even tip. Needless to say, I wrote this in hopes new makeup artists will see that it's best to charge all friends and family and everyone else. If they don't want to pay it's not a reflection on you. I hope this helps someone! The people who want your work will pay.
If I was using my makeup I always asked for at least 5-10 bucks to pay for the makeup that I used on their face. I do love doing makeup and hair, but if I am full on doing it for an event you are gotta give me at least $10 bucks and if I am not going to said event $20 for me going out of my way
I'm sorry hun, but you need better friends. True friends will tip you even when you say it's free and insist on paying full price, even if they have to save for a while to do it. Friends and family discount is only applied to the people that EARN it. Good luck out there!
one time i was modeling in a shoot and when i showed up the makeup artist told me that the night before SOMEONE STOLE HER ENTIRE KIT OUT OF HER CAR, but she stilled turned it out and i looked amazing, makeup artists are true magicians and artists
No Just because she pukes after not eating before showing up doesn't equal eating disorder Not everyone that forgets to eat or doesn't eat something has an eating disorder
Not going to lie. The fact that the mom asked her to finish the makeup and didn't really care to me says she makes her daughter not eat to be skinny for her event/ in general.
Or the "I don't do those brands, they are cruel to animals!" Okay, it's China's problem the brands are cruel to animals, you should demonstrate instead of being a basic *****. Second, Sisley, Chanel, Givenchy, YSL, Armani, Tom Ford and Burberry are less likely for you to get what Portuguese call a "tercollo", or a pimple or a red eye or whatever. I hate it when I book a free (as a girl who has Sephora Black card) make-up session about 10 minutes long, something simple, and the girl or woman before me makes the make-up artist get really pissed off and annoyed. I don't know why - but I have witnessed on the brow aesthetic, on Sephora, on a Department store which is like Macy's, and the client before me is so entitled. At the latter, it happens rarely because the make-up artists there have the patience of Buddhas. I swear, they radiate some kind of enlightening serenity...Anyways. But after the client annoys the living heck of the make-up artist, she - or he - will act like they have zero f's to give. Girl, if you're paying over 100 dollars plus extras and you see her over 1K followers on instagram and she has the address, the telephone number on the profile, you know the make-up artist isn't a fraud!
I have a story, but it's the other way around. I was "the client". For my sister's wedding she hired someone to do makeup professionally because she, and a few people in her bridal party were not inclined in the makeup department. The woman's regular prices were about 115 for a full face and an extra 10 for lashes. It is actually on the higher end, in my area, but my family has always subscribed to the idea that you get what you pay for, so she was willing to pay the prices to make sure everything went smoothly. This woman couldn't have been worse. She was so arrogant and rude and the makeup she did was not suited for bridal makeup, my sister's best friend went first and she looked less like a maid of honor and more like she was about to hit the club. My sister asked if she could maybe go a bit lighter and she got really cocky with my sister, saying, "Do people tell you how to do your job?". So my sister told her to leave and keep the deposit, but she wouldn't be getting paid. Thankfully, a friend of the family, who was a friggin' mary Kay presenter, stepped up and did a much better job than the "professional makeup artist" did. A mary freaky kay presenter. I was astonished. (Btw, I hate MLMs and do not endorse them) I just really hope that MUA took a few more classes on bridal makeup and straightened out her attitude. Otherwise I think her career may have been shortlived.
I swear MLMS haunt me wherever I go- but still YIKES. I hate people who are like this. People who seem to think that they know everything and right constantly. I feel for you...I wouldn't have the patience for that lady. I would have likely thrown something at her.
@@kelcis4244 *MLM* : Multi-Level Marketing (Here's a link to the wiki page if you want it explained more en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing ) *MUA* : Makeup Artist
I absolutely love MLMs such as Mary Kay. If I can buy my skin care or make up, spices, candles, leggings, you name it, from a mom trying to make ends meet as opposed to a huge corporation then heck yes I will do it. A lot of those companies offer wonderful good quality products and really take care of their consultants.
Not really a horror story, but definitely cringeworthy! 😬 It was prom and I was doing my next-door neighbor’s makeup, then my friend’s right after. I go next door, where she gives me a picture she tore from a magazine (before camera phones) - a smoky eye with gold glitter and a nude lip. I glam her up, pack up my train case and go home to meet my friend. Opened up my case and the picture was in there - she sees it and loves it. 😍 Told her I just did it on my neighbor, but she wanted it anyway, so she got it. She brought her dress and gets ready at my house. It’s time to leave so I walk her out and my neighbor is outside taking pictures... wearing the EXACT same dress! Everyone’s jaw drops. 😱 Not just any old dress either...this gold glittery Cinderella ball gown thing! And these girls already favor each other...tall, slender, long blonde hair, blue eyes, etc. 👯♀️ Both wore updos too! The only difference was the shoes. To make matters worse, my neighbor’s mom (all happy and totally clueless) yells over, “How cute! Did y’all plan this?” 🤦🏻♀️ Then makes them take a picture together! 😳 Definitely one of the most awkward moments ever!
I was getting makeup done at a store once and witnessed with my own gotdamn eyes a lady walk in and pick up a lipgloss and start eating the lipgloss, like full on squeezing it into her mouth like its nikl'nips. I was so horrified and baffled I watched this for a full twenty seconds before going "hey uh... (employee's name), that lady's just... eating a lipgloss". I've never forgotten about crackhead lipgloss lady.
Bridezillas!... I wanna rant about how the wedding industry has created this species by putting so much pressure on what should be an emotional joyful event by sheer force of expectations, but...brb, coffee...
I am not a pro but I have done friends and girls makeup for school dances, one girl still stands out as the worst. It was for her freshman year homecoming and she said that she wanted drama and glitter, then gave me reference photos and I was like okay. So I do her makeup and when I am done she is saying it looks great and her parents pay me (it is like $15-$20) and I leave to get ready myself. When I get to homecoming that night she is there with her friends and she is talking and giving me dirty looks I then find out she was talking crap about me and what I did. She also said that she paid $200 for me to do her makeup. She then got yelled at by her brother for lying about it.
in qatar it costs 500 QR and more to get your makeup done by anyone, and this is the type of makeup they do whether it's "natural" looking or heavy glam (its all heavy, just they use different eyeshadows for the heavy and more lip products): ruclips.net/channel/UCGDBF-izGQHb3tZeBdAJM6wvideos
So this girl hired me and it was an hour drive to her, which is not big deal. I’m driving to her house and it took me to these back roads and these houses are like torn apart, not looking the best. I start to get anxious and I’m driving down this gravel road for like 20 miles and her house is literally in the middle of no where the outside didn’t look that good. I pull into the drive way and get this weird vibe. I called the girl 3 times and texted her saying “I’m here” and no response. I get back in my car and sit there. No cars are at her house, but she told me she needed me to be there at this specific time no earlier no later. She finally comes out side and she’s wearing this long sleeve all white dress and she’s looking down and talking to me, like she wouldn’t look at me and so I introduce my self and asked her where she wanted me to go and she just pointed. I go into the house (I know some clients can be super nervous) no big deal and her house is just pitch dark and I didn’t bring my ring light as most times I don’t need it. And I asked if we could go in front of a window or where the best lighting in her house was and she just tells me we need to do it in the dining room. So I find the light switch and turn it on. I’m doing her makeup and she’s coming to life and I’m loving what I’m doing. (This was for her prom) and I asked her if she loved it and she got really happy and excited and finally started to talk to me. So then I leave and I hear her call her mom and she’s like “I don’t like my makeup it’s not for me” and I’m like really, really girl. So I text her and say thank you for asking me and letting me do her makeup and she blocked me on everything. Definitely the weirdest situation.
Alexis Karns Do you have any advice for someone who wants to do makeup? I'm currently 16 but I'm planning on going to cosmetology school for hair design and esthetics, (esthetics includes makeup application at the school I plan on going to) and I have no idea how I'd get started doing makeup professionally tbh. I've always had a passion for makeup but I have very little confidence in myself lol.
Unicorn Baby I have all sorts of advice and I’m actually planning on doing a video all about it on my channel here soon. I’m actually only 17 and have been a makeup artist since I was 15! I had no idea about any of it besides the fact that I loved hair and makeup and I have a special touch and special place in my heart for it! I started college at 16 for fashion and makeup artistry and yes I am still in high school, I will be graduating this December from high school and going to cosmetology school to get my license in hair and all that other fun stuff! If you don’t want to wait for my video you can email me at dancer4578@gmail.com or Dm me on insta @alexiskarns best wishes to you, love. It’s definitely a crazy journey to get started on.
Dog groomer here, the worst clients are the owners who don't understand why it takes so long to bath, dry do a full haircut and nails on their dog, a moving target. And then complain at the end about paying the price they agreed to pay at check in. My time is money, I'm a trained professional. If you can do it so much better and faster do it yourself.
Natalie Topolski one time both water and power were down so we told our next client that we couldn't groom her dog and she was like 'uuuhm don't you have batteries? ' Yeah like I'm supposed to bath your dog with water bottles and then blow it dry with my freaking mouth!people are so ignorant shm
Dog walker here: I was doing some door to door advertising and a lady happened to be heading out so she paused to talk to me about walking her greyhound. She started telling me how much she'd pay me and told me that she could drive us to the park. I was like 'your dog sounds great! However, I do have a website with my rates and my own car.'. Lady thought I was maybe 14 (I was 24 at the time), and she was planning on paying less than half my rate. Cheap people like that who would put their pets in the hands of inexperienced handlers probs shouldn't have pets, just sayin'. It's just asking for trouble.
I did work experience dog grooming and even though it was only a week I got some good stories lol, this man came in claiming he had booked an appointment for his dog when he HADN’T, it wasn’t written anywhere and nobody could remember him coming in to book as he said, but we had a free space anyway so agreed to groom his dog. His NINE year old collie had never been groomed in her life so was scared shitless the whole time the poor thing, she had no clue what was happening and bit me several times. The man was half an hour late getting his dog and when he picked her up he kept making up weird excuses about why he didn’t have enough money for the groom but finally he paid and left lol
Natalie Topolski I get my long-haired groomed at the vet and then maintained as it gets longer. Groomers for the most part deserve what they get paid. Only had a couple that didn't deserve it, they did a terrible job. I paid them but also didn't go back. Finding a great groomer that you and your pet likes is hard. Like hairdressers you should "stalk" them so you never need to change.
When the makeup artist was talking about the woman who thought she was "miss chic high-and-mighty", I thought she was going to say she pulled out maybelline and L'Oreal makeup. 😅
Ok so I have a story! I booked this bride, and I did her trial session, and everything was perfect. I gave her all the steps of what she needed to do the day of her wedding so that she could be ready for me to do her make-up. I get to the resort where the wedding is happening on the day of the wedding, and one of the bride's family members lets me into the wedding Suite where the bridal party is staying. I get inside and obviously everyone is way hungover, because all the girls are still wearing their clubbing outfits and passed out on the beds, on the floor, and in a chair. They are still wearing their makeup from the night before. So I decided to be extra nice to the bride, since I knew she would have a whopping headache. I used the resort coffee pot to make some coffee and I gently tapped her on the shoulder and offered her the coffee and offered her some ibuprofen. Once she had woken up, I asked her to go to the bathroom and wash her face. At that point she started to freak out, saying that we didn't have time and I would have to work with what she had. We had a good three hours before I really needed to be done with her makeup, so there was plenty of time. But she absolutely refused to go wash her face. Her bridal party was waking up by this time, and they did nothing to pacify her. I informed her that packing on new makeup on top of the old makeup would cause oxidation and make her skin look patchy and possibly Orange. She didn't believe me cuz apparently she sleeps in her makeup all the time and wears the same make up the next day. So I did what I could, and when she was done, she looked okay. Her wedding photos turned out awful, and she left a horrible review on Yelp for me, which thankfully I responded to and everyone else who has read the review now knows the whole story. She did not tip, and I had already cut her a discount.
She sounds like a brat who learns from her mistakes after the damage is done and blames others for everything. Not anyone’s fault that she insisted on doing that lol.
Ok I’m a client and here’s my horror story 😭 I booked a lady to do my makeup the MORNING of my graduation!! My graduation started at 10:30 we had to be at the school for 9 so she told me to come at 7 which was fine, I woke up at about 6 texted her Goodmorning and ensured her I was coming to my appointment, once I made it to her salon around 6:50 she was no where to be found!!! 7 nothing 7:20 nothing! I called and called and got no response. I was heart broken! Luckily my cousin was in town and did a little light makeup and I made it to the school at around 9:10, to make matters worse she called me at 9:30 and said omg I’m pregnant and I’ve been throwing up all morning I forgot I had to do your make up! Like what sis run me my $75 BACK she refunded 50 and said she had to keep 25 for a non refundable deposit😑 like ok I let my mom talk to her and she sent the $25 back
I had one costumer wouldn’t shut up about how she was going out for her birthday and wanted to switch it up from her daily look. Now 45 minutes went by about vivid detail on her daily makeup routine and i haven’t touched her face yet. At this point i was just studying her mediocre makeup (that she wore to the appointment(?)) so i can add my finishing touch. Here’s how the beat down went: 1) Loaded a pencil brush with pearly white eye shadow that had pink glitter in it 2) sprayed the brush with setting spray 3) applied it to her inner corner Then she looked in the mirror so see what I did and I swear I saw her pupils dilate. She RAVED about it, paid for the service ($60 + $20 tip), and left.
i’m an aspiring makeup artist and currently going to school to get my license. these two girls in high school asked me to do their makeup. i said of course and was super excited!! i wasn’t going to prom so it was fun to have something to do that morning. all i asked was that they bring their own foundation + tip. tell me why neither of them had foundation and proceeded to get mad that i didn’t have foundation that matched their skin tone. (i’m fair skinned and NEVER wear foundation, they were both deeper skin tones) as an amateur makeup artist, how am i supposed to have everything fOR EVERY SKIN COLOR??? i did their makeup, they both LOVED it yet didn’t tip me. one of the girls even asked me to do her cousins makeup. i spent 4 hours doing their makeup....for free. never again. i’m so sketchy about doing makeup for friends now. either pay me for my skills or do your own makeuo
I have been a pro makeup artist for 7 years . The best thing to do is telling friends and family that you can do their makeup but need a small deposit to cover equipment cost . And make sure you get it before you do the makeup. Also the foundation thing I would say try and at least get one darker skin one and if its too dark for the person mix it with a lighter skin one. Hope this helps I realize you weren't asking for advice
I do street and stage makeup, and you can save yourself a lot of pain by getting a multi tone pallette of Ben Nye or Krylon stage makeup and mixing to the tone you need.
If I were you, I wouldn't have done their makeup...either that or I would've been SO petty and would've made their eyeliner wings(if you did that on them) soooo uneven😂
When I was in school my boyfriend's sister in law was supposed to model for my exam, something came up and she couldn't make it so she sent her "friend" who i later found out was just a patient at her dentist office. The woman came with her 13 year old daughter since I was doing two looks. While I did her makeup she told me what she wanted me to do for her daughter and didn't listen to me when i told her I had to follow my exam instructions. Once I finished with them both the daughter wanted to take the makeup off and they got into a huge fight in the middle of my class because this lady wanted to go to Benihana with their makeup done. She literally chased her daughter around a professional studio trying to get the makeup wipes away from her. Then any time I saw her in public she would ask me for the pictures (which I didn't have access to). Anyway my teacher asked me never to bring them to model ever again.
We were the client for our horror story. My sister hired an MUA for her wedding for herself and four other girls. The mua had great reviews and communication and whatnot but then comes her wedding day. 20 minutes after the scheduled time, we were still waiting for her to show up and then an hour passed before we realized she wasn’t gonna show and she refused to answer her phone. I ended up running to the store to get the stuff we needed and did 5 girls makeup and hair in the 2 hours we had until the wedding. Everyone left to get to the venue and I’m sitting at home, crying my eyes out from stress, trying to get myself ready in 20 minutes (I was maid of honor) and ended up making it to the wedding at the exact moment it was starting. Everything turned out to be wonderful but man, I just about missed my sisters wedding 😂
@@fatearamines6848 sorry whattt? LOL. DO YOU EVEN KNOW ENGLISH? I know what is mua stands for. I was asking what happened to the mua after the incident.
I had a bride once that didn't won't to use foundation and wanted way more bronzer then her snow white skill one legally allow! End of the story she ended up getting married looking like a hot mess but very happy with my work. O.o
My cousin is a make up artist. And one thing shes had to deal with is people who want their foundation a couple of shades lighter. And they get super mad when they look like a "ghost"
I'm not an official makeup artist, but I've been asked more than once to help out with makeup. (This one's a doozy; sorry for the long post.) One of my first gigs was face-painting at my cousin's friend's festival and I'd be lying if it didn't turn me off of ever pursuing it further. Before the job, I bought a sample pack of water-activated paints (my go-to medium still) and triple checked that all the colors were hypoallergenic. (I'm super sensitive to metals and such myself, so I'm more than aware that my clients may suffer from similar issues.) I brought some fun glitter eyeshadows and mica dusts as well, just for any extra pop needed. So, I set up my booth, stool, and makeup and the large set of disposable brushes I had also bought last-minute. The first several go by fine--the typical requests from kids and adults alike. My seventh client, though, _wow._ This mom comes along and plunks this red-faced, exhausted-looking little girl on my stool; I offer her and her mom some fresh water bottles, just to keep them happy, cool, and comfortable while I work. Mom immediately nixes it, convinced I've been using these (sealed, might I add) bottles to clean my brushes. She then demands I give her daughter a fairy-princess look. What kind? Lord knows; it wasn't on my list or examples. I try to point this out, but nope. Mom is adamant. So I ask the girl her favorite colors and start working on swirly designs that incorporate them at the corner of her eyes and down her cheeks; Mom starts freaking out that I'm so close to her daughters eyes, but I explain that A) the paint is water-based so if any does drip into her eyes, it'll flush out easily and B) it's well-made, so it's unlikely to cause infection. I finally finish, adding a couple flowers at the end of a few of the swirls and hold up the mirror to the little girl. She absolutely lights up--going from exhausted to practically bouncing off the stool. She excitedly asks me if I have fairy dust to make her a real princess. I ask her mom if she's allergic to anything or has sensitive skin, which the mom says she doesn't. So, I sprinkle some mica dust and add a little glitter eyeshadow to the girl's cheeks. Mom gives me the money, and the girl goes skipping off. Ten minutes later, mom's back and screaming at me; her daughter's face is red and blotchy--she's clearly had a reaction to the mica in the shadows and powder. I try to explain to her that it was in the powders, and she basically tells me it's not my fault for telling her _that_ was what I meant. Even though I asked her about allergies/sensitivites _right after her daughter asked for glitter._ Right before I picked up glitter. It didn't take a genius to put two and two together. I gave her back half of the money, simply because I felt so guilty about the little girl and the discomfort she was in. Took me a while to accept a job after that.
The paint being water based is good, but that just means the binder (the glue that holds the paint together) can dissolve in water, not that it's safe to get in the eyes. Even if the binder is safe to get in the eyes (which is hard to imagine), the pigment in it might not be. It doesn't matter what binder you have, cobalt blue should not go in the eyes. (Not saying that's what you were using, just that there's more to the toxicity or safety of a paint than whether or not it washes off with water.)
I don’t balm the mother for wanting her money back you should of gave her full refund she didn’t know her daughter was allergic to that not her fault very unprofessional
Sonny Eli She knew. It was clear afterward that she knew her daughter had an allergy, but she didn't tell me (or thought, somehow, these powders didn't apply). Think about it like this: If you go to a restaurant and refuse to tell the server you're allergic to shellfish and then order shrimp tempura, does the restaurant owe you a comped meal after you go into anaphylactic shock? If you know you're diabetic, but order a regular Coke, is it the restaurant's fault when your blood sugar spikes? Is it unprofessional if the restaurant won't refund your meal?
Alma Saon you don’t work at a restaurant though your a face painter lamaoa your ponit sucks you see a kids face all burning up but your the mad one no matter how the situation went
Retired MUA here! I once had a client, super engaging, lovely conversation, we were really vibing. And I ask her to open her mouth so I can accurately line her lips, i lean in with my lip liner to concentrate, she opens her mouth and lets out the wettest burp I have ever experienced. Not only did she spit all over my face, but flecks of whatever she had just eaten where sprayed all over me and my station. And the best part was she totally pretended it never happened and just kept on chatting. I wiped my entire face clean and used half a bottle of Beauty Elixir but it still grosses me out to this day.
Anna Cari 😂 lmao! Sorry for laughing as it must have been so gross, but the fact that she didn’t even address it and just pretended she didn’t spit all over you is so weird it’s funny! Also, what is beauty elixir?
I had to get my makeup done for prom and the makeup artist was wonderful 10/10, while she was doing my makeup I asked her: “How much makeup do u have in total?” Her: “probably about $5,000 worth of makeup” The lady in this video was completely right when she said what makeup artists had in their kit was more expensive than what the clients owed 😐 (I owed about $160)
I had a client and her mother come into my salon looking for makeup and hair for an event. I did this beautifully blended silver, smokey eye on the girl. I was so impressed with myself and I don't think I've done a better version of it since. She hated it. It was exactly what she described and had brought reference photos of. However, now she wanted nothing blended, stark contrasts, and warm tones. No offense to my queens, but what she wanted (and sadly ended up with) was an awful drag look on a 16 year old girl. Then neither she nor her mom tipped myself or the stylists who also worked on their beautiful hair. We blacklisted them.
I don't count this as my worst client, but it was the most stressful wedding I've ever done. The poor woman had some mental health issues she was still getting under control. She was very open and told me how it was such an important event, besides just being her wedding. The day of, one of the bridesmaids stressed her out so much she had an anxiety attack. When we finally had the bride out for me to do her makeup, she was so anxious she watched me do it in a mirror. I do on location so we physically moved a large mirror for this. She loved it and it was all good. Definitely not the worst bride. It's the worst bridesmaid. Luckily another bridesmaid made her take a walk. I have never been so heartbroken and angry while working a wedding.
I work weddings as a photographer on occasion. I work with a male photographer, so I almost always am the one in the room with the ladies getting their makeup done. Until the ceremony, I follow the bride and catch as many memorable moments as I can. Normally the makeup artists work wonders and quickly and well, I take photos of them with each girl for progress shots, then they do the bride and obviously, the stress goes up a little but not to the point of it being an issue. Then the makeup artist leaves like they mention in this video. One time, however, the makeup artist got to the bride (she was a professional with a portfolio, no reason to think she was going to be an issue) and the bride who was far from a bridezilla asked her to even out the wings in her eyeliner. The makeup artist screams for everyone to get out of the room so she can focus, and then starts to cry when half dressed women refuse to leave and I look to the bride and say "It's my job to stay with you, so its your call" and she says for no one to go anywhere and the makeup artist to get over it. The makeup artist hears me snapping away through the room (because people other than her and the bride still exist) and she yells at me personally to get out because "the noise of my camera shutter" was distracting her from getting the perfect wing. Mind you, if she wasn't crying, I would be taking photos of her because that's what we do. She then really freaks out and gives up on the makeup and goes outside to cry. A friend jumps in to do the brides wings properly, and I take photos of her doing it (which end up being the ones we keep) and all seemed good. Later on, its late now and I decided to make my way back to the woman's dressing room to use a bathroom away from the guests, its been hours, we did the ceremony, group shots, and some of the reception already. This makeup artist is still outside the room crying with a cigarette. I went back inside and told the main photographer about it and he said he would take care of it (we didn't want to bride to be concerned about the fact she hadn't left) and I still don't know why she stayed that long after failing at the most important part of her job. Maybe she was waiting to be paid since she missed the opportunity earlier by running out of the room and putting us on a time crunch. Since she was out of sight, she was out of mind when we started rushing the ladies to the ceremony.
My sister is a makeup artist and one day this lady comes up to her salon and says can you do my makeup for free I'll give you peppers I'll give you a watermelon just do my makeup for free and my sis of course says no and than she said what if I give you two watermelons and two big bags of peppers and my sister says no I don't need these stuff and than the lady starts screaming I'll go somewhere else and they will do my makeup for free better than you and than she left
This literally sounds like how my anthropology professor explained the development of currency, except we were all laughing instead of yelling and he was trying to get me to give him my water bottle for his reading glasses.
Oh jeez, I have a chronic condition called Dysautonomia where my autonomic nervous system misfires causing things like fainting spells and unexplained vomiting. So the girl in the first story could EASILY have been me and since it’s a chronic condition sometimes you just have to push through or you’ll miss those moments/events entirely. Bless that makeup artist for carrying on after getting puked on!
Abigail Robertson my mom used to have it but she got healed (from GOD) but my sister has it and I kind of learned what it's like. Though I will never truly understand it, I agree. And for anyone who has it , god bless you! It will get better someday!! Just like my mom. (Hope I didn't offend anyone just wanted to say that)
Whoop whoop Chicken Soup think there’s a misunderstanding here. A deposit is usually to hold a spot. Whether the artist choices to apply it to services or give it back is another story. No need to be patronizing...
it depends on how they run their business. again, no need to be rude or have a patronizing tone, if you aren't that's fine, that is how your reply came off.
I’ll still never get over this woman who brought her daughter in for her prom appointment, and immediately told me how awful her daughters hair was and that the stylist was awful. Okay whatever not my business, then she asks if I can do anything about it 🙄 I tell her I can loosen her bangs a little but not much else (I mean this isn’t even my job but ok). So I do the makeup and the mom is out running errands while I’m doing it. Then I’m doing my best to loosen her bangs without pulling her style apart since it was a bobby-pin vase that didn’t leave a whole lot of room. I get it as loose as possible and then the Mom shows up and COMPLAINS that her daughters hair isn’t right. Well first that’s not my job and second I work in a salon, so I brought over a hair stylist who explained exactly what I did. We cannot make her bangs any looser without redoing her hair and you paying for an updo twice. She then huffs and puffs and I haven’t seen her since that day 🤷🏼♀️
I once got my makeup done by a "profesional" She was the nightmare. I was going to do a photo shoot for my sweet 16 and I was going to tell her what I want but she shushed me and told me to close my eyes. BTW I hate eyeliner it just doesn't suit me. Once I felt her putting pressure on my eyelids with a pencil I was already knew I wasn't going to like it. When I opened my eyes I had purple eye shadow (doesn't suit me. I am more of a pink/red color for my eyelids) And the eyeliner was WAYY TOO THICK! With my eyes open it looked like I was wearing black eyeshadow. I looked like a hooker. AND SHE MADE MY LIPSTICK A REALLY BRIGHT PALE PINK AND I'M TAN. IT LOOKED GROSS. I askeed her nicely if she can please remover the lipstick and let me choose the color and then I asked if she can also remove the eyeliner because I don't like it and I explained that it's too thicc and dark and I don't want to look like that in the photos. She got mad and told me no. She told me the makeup is "beautiful" and to pay her $40 I said no because I don't like the makeup and she said "fine $20" I looked at my mom and we ran out the salon. Noone chased after us. I have a feeling that salon wasn't even supposed to do makeup.
@lucy teesdale YEAH. But. This young lady had a vision for how she wanted her makeup to look like..... and judging from her post, I'm gathering that it was something that she herself might have done to her own face or was more than capable of doing. Because she had a very specific look that she wanted to stick to. Like, the eyeliner. She knew she would hate eye liner. Eye liner was an absolute no, even though there are different ways of using eye liner.
@@Indiegirl007 Just because you know that something looks good on you, doesn't mean you will know how to apply correctly. For example, I have a fairly round face, cause I'm overweight (let's not beat around the bush here). I am aware, that contouring will make my face look slimmer. That doesn't mean that I can contour. Same with the original poster - she knew what she wanted, or what looked good on her, but she didn't have to be great at putting on makeup. The MUA should have let her client speak before she started. About the eyeliner, when you have hooded eyes, too much eyeliner can ruin the whole look, cause that's all you can see, or it will leave an imprint above your eye, under the brow. Some people just don't like how it feels in general
Fawn Rosie I’m so sorry that happened to you, especially on a day as important as a milestone birthday😢 I hate when people who specialize in making others feel beautiful don’t even take a client’s preferences into account, it’s SO inconsiderate and unprofessional. It’s like a hair salon giving you a haircut you specifically claimed not to want, they’d be sued immediately.
9 times outta 10, even professionals make up kits are worth more than our make up lol. That last story blew me away, something clearly wasn't right with that client lolol
The last girl did my makeup a couple years ago!! Her work is great and she’s super sweet.

Cool!
I remember i was getting my makeup done for home coming and my home coming date canceled on me out of no where. so, i am on the verge to having a panic attack cause i told my friend i am going with him and they already had plans so i couldn’t just jump into it. SO! the makeup girl was super cool and understanding and she gave me the best advice ever. she told me to let my tears out and i did. and so, she re did my makeup. when it was over, she says “how about you go to home coming with my son? he is the same age as you, just goes to a different school.” and i said “you know what, screw it.” and i ended up meeting him and going to hoco with him. we were literally so close in just the spam of like an hour. we were so comfortable around each other and became very close. anddd, now he is my boyfriend . we have been together for almost a year. ❤️

Lol right
My aunt is a makeup artist and she told m about this client named Snané (Shay: nay) about 19-21 asking for a glam makeup do for a date she has in 3 hours. So my aunt told her to wait a minute while she gets out her more high quality stuff/ more glamorous and that she’d be back in 10 minutes. As she is leaving the room she hears her client say “maybe when I call for the oppointment you should have had it out already.” But my aunt proceeded to get this makeup. When she got back she tapped the client on the shoulder and said ok I’m ready just sit in that chair right over there and we’ll get started ASAP. Shané said ok then sat in the chair. This girl took a full on makeup bag from the dollar store and poured it out on the desk in front of my aunt then says “ I think you should put your crappy makeup up and use mine.” So my aunt checked through this bag (with permission) and said “ um not to be rude but this is like dollar store brand and it is also all matte or gray and covered in makeup chunks so let’s stick with what I have.” This gurl shives all the makeup in her bag and when aunt isn’t looking took a really expensive lipstick of my aunts and shoved it in there too. Then she searches through the bag and pulls it out then says “ Looks like you can recognize good makeup when you see it because this was right in front of your face and you called it dollar store brand.”. My aunt could tell she stole it because it wasn’t covered in makeup like her other stuff but she let it go. By th8s time it had been an hour of this gurls bickering so she only had two hours and only had her cakey chunky too dark for her skin foundation on. Then my aunt started the makeup and when she finished Shané left. My aunt saw her take some makeup remover out of her purse and wipe it all off on her way out.
Thanks for reading if you did- that was my aunts worst client
There are weird people in this world...

I threw up...but I had a bowl and told the lady ahead of time I have cyclic vomiting syndrome. She insisted she wanted to make me look pretty to feel better.

The Half-Blood Prince that’s just being grossed out by it
My favorite thing is when a client says they want a smokey eye and then when you're done they get mad at you because it's not natural enough and that it's to smokey and it's like do you not know what a smokey eye is because I did exactly what you asked of me. Ugh it's so frustrating.
They shouldn't get mad, but to be fair, they probably hired you because they know nothing about makeup.
Sara Hutton I want a Smokey eye but like not dark at all or too much shadow pls don't come to close to my eye either
I feel you girl. It’s very annoying . That’s why when a client asks me for a smokey eye I’m like ok what do you really want tho??? because you most certainly don’t want a smokey eye if you’re complaining how dark a shadow is. I get it some people don’t know but when you hear “smokey” it’s kind of common sense that it’s some type of intense dark look.
My mom was a hairstylist and makeup artist, then got into office work. She was doing an office coworker's wedding party and they had 'hired' another woman (a bridesmaid's mom with a costume makeup pallette) so my mom had already done a consultation to make sure she knew what the bride wanted and did one bridesmaid so the other lady could see what the finished look is supposed to look like. The lady was caking on makeup and getting a cheap knockoff look. After everyone is done, the bride freaks out and has my mom redo the other lady's work. Lady proceeds to go crazy once she sees my mom isn't just 'touching up' and that I'm helping her. The lady threw her open kit at my mom; makeup gets everywhere and the lady storms off cursing saying that she's going to call people because my mom is using child labor, undermining her work, and being a know-it-all fake professional. To this day I have no clue how my mom was a letter to stay so calm and finish everyone's makeup. We went home afterwards and the bride didn't even tip. My mom has never done a wedding since (she even hired a makeup artist for my sister's wedding makeup)
Hammster Wonder Cheeks I would beat that lady if she disrespected my mom lol
The girl with the pink hair looks so beautiful with that gloss and her lips are so pretty!!!
My former flat mate got a professional makeup artist for her wedding. She kept going on about how as soon as an artist heard the word ‘wedding’, they jacked the price up. On the day, she asked her artist about it, and the artist just rolled her eyes and said ‘Bridezilla insurance’.
maryavatar makes sense. Brides are stressed and the makeup artist has to deal with that. But it only makes sense if the makeup artist stays calm and helps calm the bride and not get frustrated and make things worse.
I’m also a makeup artist and I had one client come in for hair and makeup and the receptionist had told her ahead of time not to wash her hair for an updo. This girl smelt and looked like she hadn’t showered for a month. I had to ask her to wash her face and the hairdresser used gloves to do her hair. We ended up double sanitizing everything once she left. Always make sure your clients understand what your saying
why not wash her hair? never heard of that before
unicorn chic. She came in with a bridal party and they were late so there was absolutely no extra time. And for an updo to stay as long as possible it’s better if it’s two or 3 days dirty bc it adds texture. If the hair is to soft its harder to get it to do what u want.
Patricia Olmeda I thought she was going to show up with just washed hair 😬😬😬
unicorn chic If your hair is squeaky clean, it slips out of an updo. My daughter does Ballet and can't wash her hair on the day of a show. But when they say dirty, they mean not washed that day.
Patricia Olmeda I helped a friend out last minute with a wedding. There were 4 bridesmaids and the bride who needed updo's. I told my friend to tell them the same thing. We got there and ALL these bitches had FRESH OUT OF THE SHOWER DRIPPING WET CURLY HAIR!!!
Ohhhh I was doing a girls makeup for prom once, and she was adamant that she do her own eyeliner. I was like okay cool, some people get a little paranoid around the eyes so I let her... and she proceeded to go full on raccoon eyes with black eyeliner. My boss came by right after and I had to run to her office and tell her I didn’t do that 😂🤦♀️
😂😂😂 omg
“I’m not doctor phill, I’m here to do makeup for you’

They really need to get a pay rise haha
Hi
Ishan Ali they can't get a pay raise because they are self employed dude. Or if they raise their rates then they can earn more.
That last one with the actress on set got a couple of hundred, while still having time for a next client.
If their rep lets them charge more, they can, but it seems like a lot already.
Ishan Ali Why are you following me?
Raise*

The most amazing thing about those "bridezillas" is that someone it's actually going to marry them
I'm not a make-up artist but a nail-tech... and BRIDES. ARE. THE. WORST. EVER!! Last year I had a lot of brides-to-be and omfg they are a nightmare, a headache and a pain in general. I've had a lot of compliments at how I do my work and how careful I am, but brides are so full of stress that whatever you do they only see a disaster.
It's society and soap operas...I swear, soap operas brainwash some girls into thinking their guys are going to be that gutless coward who abandons them.
That one girls pink hair was GORGEOUS!
Chloe Presley Many thanks!!!!
You guys should do hairstylist next

"She had lice in her hair"
*The lady with the pink hair has STUNNING eyes!* 😍😍💖
Yep she does!
The worst makeup artist I have been to was for my cousin's wedding. I was one of the bridesmaids, and the MUA was hired to do my cousin (the brides) makeup and like three of the bridesmaids (the others were doing there own makeup). When the MUA got there I informed her that I have sensitive skin, and my skin reacts easily. So the bride gets her makeup done first then the bridesmaids, I was getting my makeup done third, and as she's doing my makeup I noticed the blush she was planning on using was one that had reacted bad to my skin before. So I tried to tell her I needed a different blush, and she was like "no, it'll be fine, so can you be quiet" I was a bit scared as I have anxiety and things like getting told off trigger it. So when she finishes my makup she moves on the the next girl. The ceremony went great, the reception was going smoothly until my cheeks started to get itchy. When I noticed the itching it was time for the first dance and I didn't want to make a scene, so I ignored it and the wedding continued. When the wedding ended and my cheeks felt like they were on fire, I finally got to take my makeup off. When my makeup was fully off, my cheeks were like a tomato, they were that red, and there was a rash As well. So I ad this rash for about a month.
The lesson I learned is to speak up and not to just bite my tongue.
I love people who try to tell me how to do my job. It makes me laugh every time. I work in theatrical costuming and the number of actors who think they know what's period appropriate amuses me to no end. Like, tell me all about your degree in fashion history and tell me in extensive detail about what's period appropriate so I can focus on my job and you can go back to yours.

Loved Naïsha’s makeup, Dat girl got style! She is so good! 🤩🤩
Brides are the worst ! I used to sell bridal gowns and evil clients shows 70% of the time... I tried differents boutiques with different budgets to compare, all the same... Dont get married if its stressed you so mutch that's turned you into a monster !
I had a client who’s house I went to to do their makeup, and they had broken glass on the floor and I stepped in it! I powered thru tho!

I really love this! Please make this a series!!!
So i was attending my step moms wedding, and when the makeup artist was finished she started doing everyone else {which were all girls lol}. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO here is where is gets bad. like REALLY bad. So my cousin was told by my dad to knock on the door and ask if we were done so I YES I was the one opening the door and my cousin barged in like a MANIAC and started playing around. After a couple of stares and whispers I finally said '' Okay {cousins name} what do you want" of course... he didn't answer so I gave him an evil eye. There was paint in the corner of the room {for some weird reason}. He walked over, looked me STRAIGHT IN THE EYE and guess what he did. { just a little info on him, he isnt the nicest person in the world if your asking MY WHOLE FAMILY} He looked me DIRECTLY IN MY EYES and said '' you look very pretty {my name} but you know what could make it better?...'' I start to get a little worried because of the little smirk on his face. I say '' w-w-what would make it b-better hehe"................................ HE SPLASHED RED AND PINK MIXED PAINT ON MY WHITE FLOWER GIRL JUMPSUIT {yes i said Jumpsuit}/ brides made jumpsuit and the wedding started in 5 minutes but it turned out to be a win-win for me because we {somehow} made the paint look like roses and my cousin got grounded for 2 weeks. {btw im a girl, using my grandfathers computer} BAIIII
What do they think of people who blink to much? I'm one of them, but can't help it, it's just so uncomfortable feeling brushes and eyeliners.
God... I felt so so SO bad for the makeup artist at my sister's wedding. He was the husband of one of her coworkers. He was awesome and really sweet. He was hired to do my sister (obviously), my mom, and myself. So three people. We are having a great time, I complimented his tie (it had hidden R2D2s on it, super nerdy and cute), I loved his tattoos, he was really cool and kinda quiet, doing his job, etc. The mother of the groom inserts herself into the bridal party's room as we're getting ready (without asking and not ready at all). She then asks this poor man to do her makeup last minute, which he does. And she starts preaching at him from the chair that he was a sinner because he was a gay man in a happy relationship with another man. My family was shocked. My mom, who is also a very staunch Christian, was horrified. To this day I feel horrible for him and I regret not knowing what to say to defend him or get her on another subject and off his back.
To every makeup artist out there, bless your souls.
Okay but the third woman’s makeup is ON POINT 😍😍
Jenny Slate is so good in this. I was transported.
The year was 2010. I was putting up the finale touches on this young lady who was rich, as i am almost done i felt something on my arm. Like moving my arm hairs. I look down and it was 2 lice on my arm. Well i know i aint got lice so now im looking at her hair. They crawling everywhere.
Ohhhhh no
Eww
A friend of mine is a makeup artist and she told me she once got a one-star review that said: "This lady doesn't know how to apply false lashes. It fell off just 2 days later!"
Jin Lee oh noooo lmfaooo
😂
Jin Lee wow. Just like wow! Common sense not that common lol
Thanks.. Made my day... 😂
2 days is damn good for a false lash though lol
The pink haired girls hair is so perfectly coloured like that looks like a wig or Barbie dolls hair and it's her own hair!
Thank you so much! All mine, no extensions! :)
I was looking for this comment!!! I love your hair!
Amazing
@@dinaracc1624, your hair is gorgeous and I want that lip you're wearing! Did you mix something to get that shade, or is it actually a color?
@@MelissaCara3 thanks! It's a liquid lipstick with gloss over! All from my makeup line @dkmcosmetics
This was my first ever client and I wasn’t really sure what I was doing
The girl was going to prom, and before I started she kept on saying that she wanted everything to be perfect. I did the makeup, and I was VERY proud of myself. It was probably the best look that I had ever done, and all the shades matched her dress perfectly. But then the girl said to me no no this isn’t right so I redid it. We went through this cycle around 4 times when I said that I was gonna stop and whatever she got, she would have to take. I decided to do the EXACT same thing that I did the first time, and she loved it.
Me: .................You....................
uuuugh i got those kind of clients at the salon i worked at!
My question is.... How did you not lash out on her?
oh my god, I'm so sorry to hear that. Must be really annoying, good thing you didn't beat her right in that place :")
Bless your heart for being so patient! I understand you were starting and wanted to make sure she was satisfied with your job, but a funny suggestion: next time you get someone like this, charge full price each time you have to redo! LOL
Did you have a meeting with the bride before her wedding to work with her to try a few makeup and/or hair looks. Maybe do one side of her face with one look and then the other side of her face another. May even use a computer to show her several looks. Then let her pick 2 of those, that you will do on her face and let her pick the side she likes.
I need about 1,000 more of these

gotta love people who think they can make you do creative work for them for free. Work is work. Just because it's art doesn't mean it's cheap or we can or will do it whenever we can. We wanna get paid for our work.
Amy Duong 1,000th like, totally agree with your point
Uh yessss
Say it louder for the people in the back!
If I done someone’s makeup and they refused to pay, I’d rub it straight off😂
Right? throw a glass of water on her face or something.
I would literally smear mascara on her cheeks to make it look bad
Just destroy the makeup
I absolutely loved my makeup artist’s work for my wedding day. He asked me to rate his work on his Facebook page and like the page and do all that stuff. So I was like okay, you did amazing work so I’ll let folks know about his craft. Come to find out months later, he was posting memes that were shaming women who didn’t wear makeup, and doxxing “problem” clients on his PROFESSIONAL page. Called him out for it and his brainwashed fan horde attacked. Couldn’t believe how unprofessional this guy was towards people and how he used his own business’s page to shame women for not wearing makeup. It’s sad when a truly talented person gets so petty and arrogant that they think they are untouchable by “peasant “ hands
missartist123 ugh he should get his page taken down

Kaitlin Kal Lee what I've seen you comment on an ace family video
YES
Brooke Huber haven't I feel like I have
Kaitlin Kal Lee i see your comment every where
Kaitlin Kal Lee fact tho
I've been doing makeup for years and until recently I finally felt confident in my work to charge. All my friends think that I love doing makeup and I would love doing it for free. I've done more free gigs than paid, this is obviously my fault for not having a back bone. Over the years I've felt my work was not good enough because people didn't want to pay me and I felt that was a reflection on me. Wrong. People don't want to pay for makeup. I've given friends discounts and then they didn't even tip. Needless to say, I wrote this in hopes new makeup artists will see that it's best to charge all friends and family and everyone else. If they don't want to pay it's not a reflection on you. I hope this helps someone! The people who want your work will pay.
I have the same story as you... my pay would barely cover my daily allowance for school and school demands so much...
your skills and time and hard work are always worth compensation. :) wish you the best!
If I was using my makeup I always asked for at least 5-10 bucks to pay for the makeup that I used on their face.
I do love doing makeup and hair, but if I am full on doing it for an event you are gotta give me at least $10 bucks and if I am not going to said event $20 for me going out of my way
I'm sorry hun, but you need better friends. True friends will tip you even when you say it's free and insist on paying full price, even if they have to save for a while to do it. Friends and family discount is only applied to the people that EARN it. Good luck out there!
I’m loling at the sandwich bag part. Lmao
Nicole Shett SAME!! Lol the stock photos made it even better.

Nicole Shett please never use “loling” in any sentence ever again. please.
one time i was modeling in a shoot and when i showed up the makeup artist told me that the night before SOMEONE STOLE HER ENTIRE KIT OUT OF HER CAR, but she stilled turned it out and i looked amazing, makeup artists are true magicians and artists
Lol im sure u looked hot 👍🏼
Where did she get the makeup?

@@7lawaneeena She may have run out to the store to get at least what she needed for this client, or borrowed a kit from a friend/fellow mua
It's possible the first girl had an eating disorder?
That's what I was thinking too.
Hannah Mullen or maybe the mom doesn’t let her eat
No
Just because she pukes after not eating before showing up doesn't equal eating disorder
Not everyone that forgets to eat or doesn't eat something has an eating disorder
@@berlinwall6674 No, but the mom didn't looked shocked so it might have happened before as well.
Not going to lie. The fact that the mom asked her to finish the makeup and didn't really care to me says she makes her daughter not eat to be skinny for her event/ in general.

Or the "I don't do those brands, they are cruel to animals!" Okay, it's China's problem the brands are cruel to animals, you should demonstrate instead of being a basic *****. Second, Sisley, Chanel, Givenchy, YSL, Armani, Tom Ford and Burberry are less likely for you to get what Portuguese call a "tercollo", or a pimple or a red eye or whatever. I hate it when I book a free (as a girl who has Sephora Black card) make-up session about 10 minutes long, something simple, and the girl or woman before me makes the make-up artist get really pissed off and annoyed.
I don't know why - but I have witnessed on the brow aesthetic, on Sephora, on a Department store which is like Macy's, and the client before me is so entitled. At the latter, it happens rarely because the make-up artists there have the patience of Buddhas. I swear, they radiate some kind of enlightening serenity...Anyways. But after the client annoys the living heck of the make-up artist, she - or he - will act like they have zero f's to give.
Girl, if you're paying over 100 dollars plus extras and you see her over 1K followers on instagram and she has the address, the telephone number on the profile, you know the make-up artist isn't a fraud!
Beatrice_92 Ok how is it “China’s problem” that there is animal cruelty? And how do they made brands cruel to animals? Lool
Unknown C In order to sell in China you have to test on animals
I have a story, but it's the other way around. I was "the client". For my sister's wedding she hired someone to do makeup professionally because she, and a few people in her bridal party were not inclined in the makeup department. The woman's regular prices were about 115 for a full face and an extra 10 for lashes. It is actually on the higher end, in my area, but my family has always subscribed to the idea that you get what you pay for, so she was willing to pay the prices to make sure everything went smoothly.
This woman couldn't have been worse. She was so arrogant and rude and the makeup she did was not suited for bridal makeup, my sister's best friend went first and she looked less like a maid of honor and more like she was about to hit the club. My sister asked if she could maybe go a bit lighter and she got really cocky with my sister, saying, "Do people tell you how to do your job?". So my sister told her to leave and keep the deposit, but she wouldn't be getting paid.
Thankfully, a friend of the family, who was a friggin' mary Kay presenter, stepped up and did a much better job than the "professional makeup artist" did. A mary freaky kay presenter. I was astonished. (Btw, I hate MLMs and do not endorse them)
I just really hope that MUA took a few more classes on bridal makeup and straightened out her attitude. Otherwise I think her career may have been shortlived.
I swear MLMS haunt me wherever I go- but still YIKES. I hate people who are like this. People who seem to think that they know everything and right constantly. I feel for you...I wouldn't have the patience for that lady. I would have likely thrown something at her.

Not really a horror story, but definitely cringeworthy! 😬 It was prom and I was doing my next-door neighbor’s makeup, then my friend’s right after. I go next door, where she gives me a picture she tore from a magazine (before camera phones) - a smoky eye with gold glitter and a nude lip. I glam her up, pack up my train case and go home to meet my friend. Opened up my case and the picture was in there - she sees it and loves it. 😍 Told her I just did it on my neighbor, but she wanted it anyway, so she got it. She brought her dress and gets ready at my house. It’s time to leave so I walk her out and my neighbor is outside taking pictures... wearing the EXACT same dress! Everyone’s jaw drops. 😱 Not just any old dress either...this gold glittery Cinderella ball gown thing! And these girls already favor each other...tall, slender, long blonde hair, blue eyes, etc. 👯♀️ Both wore updos too! The only difference was the shoes. To make matters worse, my neighbor’s mom (all happy and totally clueless) yells over, “How cute! Did y’all plan this?” 🤦🏻♀️ Then makes them take a picture together! 😳 Definitely one of the most awkward moments ever!
m a r i c r i s 😲😲😲😲

Lmaooo😂😂 deffinatley embarassing to attend the prom
I JUST HAD A GOOD LAUGH! THANKS! 😂
The two girls who wore the same dress to my prom were also dating the same guy 😬😳
I was getting makeup done at a store once and witnessed with my own gotdamn eyes a lady walk in and pick up a lipgloss and start eating the lipgloss, like full on squeezing it into her mouth like its nikl'nips. I was so horrified and baffled I watched this for a full twenty seconds before going "hey uh... (employee's name), that lady's just... eating a lipgloss". I've never forgotten about crackhead lipgloss lady.
What happened then??

I love this comment😂
I am not a pro but I have done friends and girls makeup for school dances, one girl still stands out as the worst. It was for her freshman year homecoming and she said that she wanted drama and glitter, then gave me reference photos and I was like okay. So I do her makeup and when I am done she is saying it looks great and her parents pay me (it is like $15-$20) and I leave to get ready myself. When I get to homecoming that night she is there with her friends and she is talking and giving me dirty looks I then find out she was talking crap about me and what I did. She also said that she paid $200 for me to do her makeup. She then got yelled at by her brother for lying about it.
But like why is she lying 😭😭😭 $200, girl what are u scheming.
Man that must have been a bad day but like they said atleast justice was done xD
What if her brother likes you haha

in qatar it costs 500 QR and more to get your makeup done by anyone, and this is the type of makeup they do whether it's "natural" looking or heavy glam (its all heavy, just they use different eyeshadows for the heavy and more lip products): ruclips.net/channel/UCGDBF-izGQHb3tZeBdAJM6wvideos
This should so be a series. As a makeup artist I got some crazy stories. I love all my clients, but some of y’all wow.
Alexis Karns story please? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tell us please.
So this girl hired me and it was an hour drive to her, which is not big deal. I’m driving to her house and it took me to these back roads and these houses are like torn apart, not looking the best. I start to get anxious and I’m driving down this gravel road for like 20 miles and her house is literally in the middle of no where the outside didn’t look that good. I pull into the drive way and get this weird vibe. I called the girl 3 times and texted her saying “I’m here” and no response. I get back in my car and sit there. No cars are at her house, but she told me she needed me to be there at this specific time no earlier no later. She finally comes out side and she’s wearing this long sleeve all white dress and she’s looking down and talking to me, like she wouldn’t look at me and so I introduce my self and asked her where she wanted me to go and she just pointed. I go into the house (I know some clients can be super nervous) no big deal and her house is just pitch dark and I didn’t bring my ring light as most times I don’t need it. And I asked if we could go in front of a window or where the best lighting in her house was and she just tells me we need to do it in the dining room. So I find the light switch and turn it on. I’m doing her makeup and she’s coming to life and I’m loving what I’m doing. (This was for her prom) and I asked her if she loved it and she got really happy and excited and finally started to talk to me. So then I leave and I hear her call her mom and she’s like “I don’t like my makeup it’s not for me” and I’m like really, really girl. So I text her and say thank you for asking me and letting me do her makeup and she blocked me on everything. Definitely the weirdest situation.
Alexis Karns Do you have any advice for someone who wants to do makeup? I'm currently 16 but I'm planning on going to cosmetology school for hair design and esthetics, (esthetics includes makeup application at the school I plan on going to) and I have no idea how I'd get started doing makeup professionally tbh. I've always had a passion for makeup but I have very little confidence in myself lol.
Unicorn Baby I have all sorts of advice and I’m actually planning on doing a video all about it on my channel here soon. I’m actually only 17 and have been a makeup artist since I was 15! I had no idea about any of it besides the fact that I loved hair and makeup and I have a special touch and special place in my heart for it! I started college at 16 for fashion and makeup artistry and yes I am still in high school, I will be graduating this December from high school and going to cosmetology school to get my license in hair and all that other fun stuff! If you don’t want to wait for my video you can email me at dancer4578@gmail.com or Dm me on insta @alexiskarns best wishes to you, love. It’s definitely a crazy journey to get started on.
Dog groomer here, the worst clients are the owners who don't understand why it takes so long to bath, dry do a full haircut and nails on their dog, a moving target. And then complain at the end about paying the price they agreed to pay at check in. My time is money, I'm a trained professional. If you can do it so much better and faster do it yourself.
Natalie Topolski one time both water and power were down so we told our next client that we couldn't groom her dog and she was like 'uuuhm don't you have batteries? ' Yeah like I'm supposed to bath your dog with water bottles and then blow it dry with my freaking mouth!people are so ignorant shm
Dog walker here: I was doing some door to door advertising and a lady happened to be heading out so she paused to talk to me about walking her greyhound. She started telling me how much she'd pay me and told me that she could drive us to the park. I was like 'your dog sounds great! However, I do have a website with my rates and my own car.'. Lady thought I was maybe 14 (I was 24 at the time), and she was planning on paying less than half my rate. Cheap people like that who would put their pets in the hands of inexperienced handlers probs shouldn't have pets, just sayin'. It's just asking for trouble.
I did work experience dog grooming and even though it was only a week I got some good stories lol, this man came in claiming he had booked an appointment for his dog when he HADN’T, it wasn’t written anywhere and nobody could remember him coming in to book as he said, but we had a free space anyway so agreed to groom his dog. His NINE year old collie had never been groomed in her life so was scared shitless the whole time the poor thing, she had no clue what was happening and bit me several times. The man was half an hour late getting his dog and when he picked her up he kept making up weird excuses about why he didn’t have enough money for the groom but finally he paid and left lol
Natalie Topolski I get my long-haired groomed at the vet and then maintained as it gets longer. Groomers for the most part deserve what they get paid. Only had a couple that didn't deserve it, they did a terrible job. I paid them but also didn't go back. Finding a great groomer that you and your pet likes is hard. Like hairdressers you should "stalk" them so you never need to change.
We need more of this 😂😂
When the makeup artist was talking about the woman who thought she was "miss chic high-and-mighty", I thought she was going to say she pulled out maybelline and L'Oreal makeup. 😅
Ok so I have a story! I booked this bride, and I did her trial session, and everything was perfect. I gave her all the steps of what she needed to do the day of her wedding so that she could be ready for me to do her make-up. I get to the resort where the wedding is happening on the day of the wedding, and one of the bride's family members lets me into the wedding Suite where the bridal party is staying. I get inside and obviously everyone is way hungover, because all the girls are still wearing their clubbing outfits and passed out on the beds, on the floor, and in a chair. They are still wearing their makeup from the night before. So I decided to be extra nice to the bride, since I knew she would have a whopping headache. I used the resort coffee pot to make some coffee and I gently tapped her on the shoulder and offered her the coffee and offered her some ibuprofen. Once she had woken up, I asked her to go to the bathroom and wash her face. At that point she started to freak out, saying that we didn't have time and I would have to work with what she had. We had a good three hours before I really needed to be done with her makeup, so there was plenty of time. But she absolutely refused to go wash her face. Her bridal party was waking up by this time, and they did nothing to pacify her. I informed her that packing on new makeup on top of the old makeup would cause oxidation and make her skin look patchy and possibly Orange. She didn't believe me cuz apparently she sleeps in her makeup all the time and wears the same make up the next day. So I did what I could, and when she was done, she looked okay. Her wedding photos turned out awful, and she left a horrible review on Yelp for me, which thankfully I responded to and everyone else who has read the review now knows the whole story. She did not tip, and I had already cut her a discount.
Jo Thornton That's crazy, who would want her bridal makeup to be done over last night's party makeup? I would have declined...
Jesus her skin must be awful
She sounds like a brat who learns from her mistakes after the damage is done and blames others for everything. Not anyone’s fault that she insisted on doing that lol.
Jo Thornton 😲😲😲😲😲
You need to tip make up artists in states? :0
Ok I’m a client and here’s my horror story 😭 I booked a lady to do my makeup the MORNING of my graduation!! My graduation started at 10:30 we had to be at the school for 9 so she told me to come at 7 which was fine, I woke up at about 6 texted her Goodmorning and ensured her I was coming to my appointment, once I made it to her salon around 6:50 she was no where to be found!!! 7 nothing 7:20 nothing! I called and called and got no response. I was heart broken! Luckily my cousin was in town and did a little light makeup and I made it to the school at around 9:10, to make matters worse she called me at 9:30 and said omg I’m pregnant and I’ve been throwing up all morning I forgot I had to do your make up! Like what sis run me my $75 BACK she refunded 50 and said she had to keep 25 for a non refundable deposit😑 like ok I let my mom talk to her and she sent the $25 back
Gee... Non-refundable if client cancel but in your case the mua cancelled it!
Cp MooN money hungry!! If it was my fault I would’ve been cool!!!
I had one costumer wouldn’t shut up about how she was going out for her birthday and wanted to switch it up from her daily look. Now 45 minutes went by about vivid detail on her daily makeup routine and i haven’t touched her face yet. At this point i was just studying her mediocre makeup (that she wore to the appointment(?)) so i can add my finishing touch. Here’s how the beat down went:
1) Loaded a pencil brush with pearly white eye shadow that had pink glitter in it
2) sprayed the brush with setting spray
3) applied it to her inner corner
Then she looked in the mirror so see what I did and I swear I saw her pupils dilate. She RAVED about it, paid for the service ($60 + $20 tip), and left.
i’m an aspiring makeup artist and currently going to school to get my license. these two girls in high school asked me to do their makeup. i said of course and was super excited!! i wasn’t going to prom so it was fun to have something to do that morning. all i asked was that they bring their own foundation + tip. tell me why neither of them had foundation and proceeded to get mad that i didn’t have foundation that matched their skin tone. (i’m fair skinned and NEVER wear foundation, they were both deeper skin tones) as an amateur makeup artist, how am i supposed to have everything fOR EVERY SKIN COLOR??? i did their makeup, they both LOVED it yet didn’t tip me. one of the girls even asked me to do her cousins makeup. i spent 4 hours doing their makeup....for free. never again. i’m so sketchy about doing makeup for friends now. either pay me for my skills or do your own makeuo
I have been a pro makeup artist for 7 years . The best thing to do is telling friends and family that you can do their makeup but need a small deposit to cover equipment cost . And make sure you get it before you do the makeup. Also the foundation thing I would say try and at least get one darker skin one and if its too dark for the person mix it with a lighter skin one. Hope this helps I realize you weren't asking for advice
I do street and stage makeup, and you can save yourself a lot of pain by getting a multi tone pallette of Ben Nye or Krylon stage makeup and mixing to the tone you need.
Oh damn.. I suddenly wanna hug u idk why
If I were you, I wouldn't have done their makeup...either that or I would've been SO petty and would've made their eyeliner wings(if you did that on them) soooo uneven😂
God bless you
When I was in school my boyfriend's sister in law was supposed to model for my exam, something came up and she couldn't make it so she sent her "friend" who i later found out was just a patient at her dentist office. The woman came with her 13 year old daughter since I was doing two looks. While I did her makeup she told me what she wanted me to do for her daughter and didn't listen to me when i told her I had to follow my exam instructions. Once I finished with them both the daughter wanted to take the makeup off and they got into a huge fight in the middle of my class because this lady wanted to go to Benihana with their makeup done. She literally chased her daughter around a professional studio trying to get the makeup wipes away from her. Then any time I saw her in public she would ask me for the pictures (which I didn't have access to). Anyway my teacher asked me never to bring them to model ever again.
Tess Ware Yikes that sounds mortifying.
🤦🤦🤦😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Tess Ware did you get to re do the exam?
We were the client for our horror story. My sister hired an MUA for her wedding for herself and four other girls. The mua had great reviews and communication and whatnot but then comes her wedding day. 20 minutes after the scheduled time, we were still waiting for her to show up and then an hour passed before we realized she wasn’t gonna show and she refused to answer her phone. I ended up running to the store to get the stuff we needed and did 5 girls makeup and hair in the 2 hours we had until the wedding. Everyone left to get to the venue and I’m sitting at home, crying my eyes out from stress, trying to get myself ready in 20 minutes (I was maid of honor) and ended up making it to the wedding at the exact moment it was starting.
Everything turned out to be wonderful but man, I just about missed my sisters wedding 😂
May i know what happened to the mua?
Omg screw that MUA . Glad everything turned out great!!
@@janevanessaa3523 I am not sure if you learned by now what mua is. It's short for make-up artist.
@@fatearamines6848 sorry whattt? LOL. DO YOU EVEN KNOW ENGLISH? I know what is mua stands for. I was asking what happened to the mua after the incident.
I had a bride once that didn't won't to use foundation and wanted way more bronzer then her snow white skill one legally allow! End of the story she ended up getting married looking like a hot mess but very happy with my work. O.o
All the typos in this are hurting me
😂 this is so funny
Do you still do makeup?

My cousin is a make up artist. And one thing shes had to deal with is people who want their foundation a couple of shades lighter. And they get super mad when they look like a "ghost"
I'm not an official makeup artist, but I've been asked more than once to help out with makeup. (This one's a doozy; sorry for the long post.) One of my first gigs was face-painting at my cousin's friend's festival and I'd be lying if it didn't turn me off of ever pursuing it further. Before the job, I bought a sample pack of water-activated paints (my go-to medium still) and triple checked that all the colors were hypoallergenic. (I'm super sensitive to metals and such myself, so I'm more than aware that my clients may suffer from similar issues.) I brought some fun glitter eyeshadows and mica dusts as well, just for any extra pop needed. So, I set up my booth, stool, and makeup and the large set of disposable brushes I had also bought last-minute. The first several go by fine--the typical requests from kids and adults alike. My seventh client, though, _wow._ This mom comes along and plunks this red-faced, exhausted-looking little girl on my stool; I offer her and her mom some fresh water bottles, just to keep them happy, cool, and comfortable while I work. Mom immediately nixes it, convinced I've been using these (sealed, might I add) bottles to clean my brushes. She then demands I give her daughter a fairy-princess look. What kind? Lord knows; it wasn't on my list or examples. I try to point this out, but nope. Mom is adamant. So I ask the girl her favorite colors and start working on swirly designs that incorporate them at the corner of her eyes and down her cheeks; Mom starts freaking out that I'm so close to her daughters eyes, but I explain that A) the paint is water-based so if any does drip into her eyes, it'll flush out easily and B) it's well-made, so it's unlikely to cause infection. I finally finish, adding a couple flowers at the end of a few of the swirls and hold up the mirror to the little girl. She absolutely lights up--going from exhausted to practically bouncing off the stool. She excitedly asks me if I have fairy dust to make her a real princess. I ask her mom if she's allergic to anything or has sensitive skin, which the mom says she doesn't. So, I sprinkle some mica dust and add a little glitter eyeshadow to the girl's cheeks. Mom gives me the money, and the girl goes skipping off. Ten minutes later, mom's back and screaming at me; her daughter's face is red and blotchy--she's clearly had a reaction to the mica in the shadows and powder. I try to explain to her that it was in the powders, and she basically tells me it's not my fault for telling her _that_ was what I meant. Even though I asked her about allergies/sensitivites _right after her daughter asked for glitter._ Right before I picked up glitter. It didn't take a genius to put two and two together. I gave her back half of the money, simply because I felt so guilty about the little girl and the discomfort she was in. Took me a while to accept a job after that.
Alma Saon yea I’m sure buddy
The paint being water based is good, but that just means the binder (the glue that holds the paint together) can dissolve in water, not that it's safe to get in the eyes. Even if the binder is safe to get in the eyes (which is hard to imagine), the pigment in it might not be. It doesn't matter what binder you have, cobalt blue should not go in the eyes. (Not saying that's what you were using, just that there's more to the toxicity or safety of a paint than whether or not it washes off with water.)
I don’t balm the mother for wanting her money back you should of gave her full refund she didn’t know her daughter was allergic to that not her fault very unprofessional
Sonny Eli She knew. It was clear afterward that she knew her daughter had an allergy, but she didn't tell me (or thought, somehow, these powders didn't apply).
Think about it like this: If you go to a restaurant and refuse to tell the server you're allergic to shellfish and then order shrimp tempura, does the restaurant owe you a comped meal after you go into anaphylactic shock?
If you know you're diabetic, but order a regular Coke, is it the restaurant's fault when your blood sugar spikes? Is it unprofessional if the restaurant won't refund your meal?
Alma Saon you don’t work at a restaurant though your a face painter lamaoa your ponit sucks you see a kids face all burning up but your the mad one no matter how the situation went
Retired MUA here! I once had a client, super engaging, lovely conversation, we were really vibing. And I ask her to open her mouth so I can accurately line her lips, i lean in with my lip liner to concentrate, she opens her mouth and lets out the wettest burp I have ever experienced. Not only did she spit all over my face, but flecks of whatever she had just eaten where sprayed all over me and my station. And the best part was she totally pretended it never happened and just kept on chatting. I wiped my entire face clean and used half a bottle of Beauty Elixir but it still grosses me out to this day.
Anna Cari blehhh!!!
Lmao omg nooooo
Anna Cari 😂 lmao! Sorry for laughing as it must have been so gross, but the fact that she didn’t even address it and just pretended she didn’t spit all over you is so weird it’s funny!
Also, what is beauty elixir?
Anna Cari You poor thing 😂😭
😑😑😑
I had to get my makeup done for prom and the makeup artist was wonderful 10/10, while she was doing my makeup I asked her:
“How much makeup do u have in total?”
Her: “probably about $5,000 worth of makeup”
The lady in this video was completely right when she said what makeup artists had in their kit was more expensive than what the clients owed 😐
(I owed about $160)
I had a client and her mother come into my salon looking for makeup and hair for an event. I did this beautifully blended silver, smokey eye on the girl. I was so impressed with myself and I don't think I've done a better version of it since. She hated it. It was exactly what she described and had brought reference photos of. However, now she wanted nothing blended, stark contrasts, and warm tones. No offense to my queens, but what she wanted (and sadly ended up with) was an awful drag look on a 16 year old girl. Then neither she nor her mom tipped myself or the stylists who also worked on their beautiful hair. We blacklisted them.
Thing is hairstylists and make up artists always think they do a good job when they don't😂
Misha's lil bae FACTS!
hotarubi13 what does blacklisting someone mean? :)
Misha's lil bae So true.
hotarubi13 ew. I’d have done the smae
I don't count this as my worst client, but it was the most stressful wedding I've ever done.
The poor woman had some mental health issues she was still getting under control. She was very open and told me how it was such an important event, besides just being her wedding.
The day of, one of the bridesmaids stressed her out so much she had an anxiety attack. When we finally had the bride out for me to do her makeup, she was so anxious she watched me do it in a mirror. I do on location so we physically moved a large mirror for this. She loved it and it was all good.
Definitely not the worst bride. It's the worst bridesmaid. Luckily another bridesmaid made her take a walk. I have never been so heartbroken and angry while working a wedding.
The first three seconds 😂😂
Arifah pay me!!!!!
Naïsha Yolande 😂😂
I work weddings as a photographer on occasion.
I work with a male photographer, so I almost always am the one in the room with the ladies getting their makeup done. Until the ceremony, I follow the bride and catch as many memorable moments as I can. Normally the makeup artists work wonders and quickly and well, I take photos of them with each girl for progress shots, then they do the bride and obviously, the stress goes up a little but not to the point of it being an issue. Then the makeup artist leaves like they mention in this video.
One time, however, the makeup artist got to the bride (she was a professional with a portfolio, no reason to think she was going to be an issue) and the bride who was far from a bridezilla asked her to even out the wings in her eyeliner. The makeup artist screams for everyone to get out of the room so she can focus, and then starts to cry when half dressed women refuse to leave and I look to the bride and say "It's my job to stay with you, so its your call" and she says for no one to go anywhere and the makeup artist to get over it. The makeup artist hears me snapping away through the room (because people other than her and the bride still exist) and she yells at me personally to get out because "the noise of my camera shutter" was distracting her from getting the perfect wing. Mind you, if she wasn't crying, I would be taking photos of her because that's what we do. She then really freaks out and gives up on the makeup and goes outside to cry. A friend jumps in to do the brides wings properly, and I take photos of her doing it (which end up being the ones we keep) and all seemed good. Later on, its late now and I decided to make my way back to the woman's dressing room to use a bathroom away from the guests, its been hours, we did the ceremony, group shots, and some of the reception already. This makeup artist is still outside the room crying with a cigarette. I went back inside and told the main photographer about it and he said he would take care of it (we didn't want to bride to be concerned about the fact she hadn't left) and I still don't know why she stayed that long after failing at the most important part of her job. Maybe she was waiting to be paid since she missed the opportunity earlier by running out of the room and putting us on a time crunch. Since she was out of sight, she was out of mind when we started rushing the ladies to the ceremony.
My sister is a makeup artist and one day this lady comes up to her salon and says can you do my makeup for free I'll give you peppers I'll give you a watermelon just do my makeup for free and my sis of course says no and than she said what if I give you two watermelons and two big bags of peppers and my sister says no I don't need these stuff and than the lady starts screaming I'll go somewhere else and they will do my makeup for free better than you and than she left
This is why currency was invented: so people who didn't have a direct need for one another's skills or products could do business.
Carol Thurston omg, your comment is just perfect
This literally sounds like how my anthropology professor explained the development of currency, except we were all laughing instead of yelling and he was trying to get me to give him my water bottle for his reading glasses.
Roza Zekolli hahahah
😂😂😂
03:46 when someone says you wear too much makeup
pfft lol LMFAO
So tru
Ha ha ha ha HAAAA
lmao true
true!
Oh jeez, I have a chronic condition called Dysautonomia where my autonomic nervous system misfires causing things like fainting spells and unexplained vomiting. So the girl in the first story could EASILY have been me and since it’s a chronic condition sometimes you just have to push through or you’ll miss those moments/events entirely. Bless that makeup artist for carrying on after getting puked on!
Abigail Robertson i have dysautonomia also, so does my sister! Its a hellish thing to live with
God bless you guys
Abigail Robertson my sister and I both have dysautonomia too!
Abigail Robertson my mom used to have it but she got healed (from GOD) but my sister has it and I kind of learned what it's like. Though I will never truly understand it, I agree. And for anyone who has it , god bless you! It will get better someday!! Just like my mom.
(Hope I didn't offend anyone just wanted to say that)
MayaThePanda404 I’m really glad your mom is doing better! 💓 🙏
I had one girls mother standing right over me, literally TOUCHING me, telling ME what to do the whole time.
I would leave. Not worth the money.
seriously couldn't agree more with the experience of people not wanting to pay a deposit nor pay the full amount. smh
Whoop whoop Chicken Soup think there’s a misunderstanding here. A deposit is usually to hold a spot. Whether the artist choices to apply it to services or give it back is another story. No need to be patronizing...
“I’ll pay u in exposure...”
it depends on how they run their business. again, no need to be rude or have a patronizing tone, if you aren't that's fine, that is how your reply came off.
yes, all hail the queen lol
I charge a none refundable and my prices are NON NEGOTIABLE
I’ll still never get over this woman who brought her daughter in for her prom appointment, and immediately told me how awful her daughters hair was and that the stylist was awful. Okay whatever not my business, then she asks if I can do anything about it 🙄 I tell her I can loosen her bangs a little but not much else (I mean this isn’t even my job but ok). So I do the makeup and the mom is out running errands while I’m doing it. Then I’m doing my best to loosen her bangs without pulling her style apart since it was a bobby-pin vase that didn’t leave a whole lot of room. I get it as loose as possible and then the Mom shows up and COMPLAINS that her daughters hair isn’t right. Well first that’s not my job and second I work in a salon, so I brought over a hair stylist who explained exactly what I did. We cannot make her bangs any looser without redoing her hair and you paying for an updo twice. She then huffs and puffs and I haven’t seen her since that day 🤷🏼♀️
Did you actually get payed though?
The mom exploded in the parking lot which is why you haven't seen her since
@@yippedoodah lmao yep 😂
I once got my makeup done by a "profesional" She was the nightmare. I was going to do a photo shoot for my sweet 16 and I was going to tell her what I want but she shushed me and told me to close my eyes. BTW I hate eyeliner it just doesn't suit me. Once I felt her putting pressure on my eyelids with a pencil I was already knew I wasn't going to like it. When I opened my eyes I had purple eye shadow (doesn't suit me. I am more of a pink/red color for my eyelids) And the eyeliner was WAYY TOO THICK! With my eyes open it looked like I was wearing black eyeshadow. I looked like a hooker. AND SHE MADE MY LIPSTICK A REALLY BRIGHT PALE PINK AND I'M TAN. IT LOOKED GROSS. I askeed her nicely if she can please remover the lipstick and let me choose the color and then I asked if she can also remove the eyeliner because I don't like it and I explained that it's too thicc and dark and I don't want to look like that in the photos. She got mad and told me no. She told me the makeup is "beautiful" and to pay her $40 I said no because I don't like the makeup and she said "fine $20" I looked at my mom and we ran out the salon. Noone chased after us. I have a feeling that salon wasn't even supposed to do makeup.
"it's too thicc" 👌
I have a question though.... if you had such specific standards for how you wanted your face to look..... why didn't you do your makeup yourself?
@lucy teesdale YEAH. But. This young lady had a vision for how she wanted her makeup to look like..... and judging from her post, I'm gathering that it was something that she herself might have done to her own face or was more than capable of doing. Because she had a very specific look that she wanted to stick to. Like, the eyeliner. She knew she would hate eye liner. Eye liner was an absolute no, even though there are different ways of using eye liner.
@@Indiegirl007 Just because you know that something looks good on you, doesn't mean you will know how to apply correctly. For example, I have a fairly round face, cause I'm overweight (let's not beat around the bush here). I am aware, that contouring will make my face look slimmer. That doesn't mean that I can contour. Same with the original poster - she knew what she wanted, or what looked good on her, but she didn't have to be great at putting on makeup. The MUA should have let her client speak before she started.
About the eyeliner, when you have hooded eyes, too much eyeliner can ruin the whole look, cause that's all you can see, or it will leave an imprint above your eye, under the brow. Some people just don't like how it feels in general
Fawn Rosie I’m so sorry that happened to you, especially on a day as important as a milestone birthday😢 I hate when people who specialize in making others feel beautiful don’t even take a client’s preferences into account, it’s SO inconsiderate and unprofessional. It’s like a hair salon giving you a haircut you specifically claimed not to want, they’d be sued immediately.
9 times outta 10, even professionals make up kits are worth more than our make up lol. That last story blew me away, something clearly wasn't right with that client lolol
Chantal Ward she was a lunatic lol
