    When you said "four out of five people are allowing me to film", do you have them sign something or just ask? I feel like a lot of women in their 40s and above will decline because they don't want to show their makeup free face. Then it is hard to build a portfolio of before and afters of natural/neutral makeup. You need the before to see the difference. Also, do you include eyebrow grooming (trimming, tweezing) or just taming and tinting? I feel like changing eyebrow shapes is a big deal.

    Great question! I normally ask their verbal consent at the time, but I will also give the bride a heads up in advance :) Some people do not want to be on camera which is completely understandable. This is why a lot of the times you'll have to do model calls of some kind to get your content for your portfolio. I don't do any eyebrow grooming personally.

We don’t have a gel liner (I swear by the inglot one you use) instead it’s a cake liner that we have to mix on the palette and it was just a mess. I don’t understand why it’s not gel lol. I’m also having issues with the cream foundation palette and I’m so over it! I can’t wait to use my own makeup again. But I’m just going to keep doing my best and try to master all the products we have, it’s just stressing me out!!! I will be watching a bunch of your older videos for all your tips and tricks. I just wanna be a master at makeup like you already haha! Years away from that but it’s fine, we’ll get there!

Then she started making fun if me for my IPhone SE which still work's. Then we went to Kohl's for swim suits And J got a thong Bikini and laughed at me for having a Bikini what wasn't a Thong.

    My school uses image and I love the products! I recommend anything from the Iluma line and I loveee their new daily prevention sunscreens! Do not get the old ones from their prevention+ line unless it’s the sun serum, because their old line of spf is trash imo. I personally love the hydrating spf 30 from daily prevention, I bought this one for myself! but the entire DP line is good. Iluma serum, cleanser and exfoliant powder are amazing! I also really like the ageless resurfacing masque because it’s a chemical and mechanical exfoliant, even my husband is using it! It’s a really nice scrub. I love their lactic acid chemical peel the lightening lift, and then the Ormedic and vital c are the main lines we use for the basic facial (Ormedic for oily/combo skin, vital c for dry/mature) the Ormedic serum is so nice! Clear cell is great for acne, I like the cleaner a lot. The ageless hyaluronic acid serum (I think it’s called the hyaluronic filler) is the same as the hyaluronic acid serum that you can get with the chemical peels and it’s the best HA serum I’ve ever used. Pricey though! If you get one of those just make sure to mist the skin with water or facial mist before you blend it in so it absorbs properly!! ❤ the Max line is great for hydration and especiall mature skin while the ageless line tends to contain actives for aging skin, like retinol. I’m going to try the retin-a cream and report back lol. I plan to use Image in the future as an esthetician whenever I can make going solo work, but can’t wait to try more brands too! Also recommend their sheet masks, especially if you ever have a galvanic machine. That’s what we use for the service and I want my own just so I can do it to myself at home haha, it really infuses the skin with all the serum so beautifully! Hope this helps ❤

    I can’t wait to watch all these esthi videos!!! Saturday is my last day in my esthetics program 😢 then for the month of July I’ll be in my makeup artistry class and graduate in August! Ugh my exams are coming up, praying for the best there lol! I’m so excited, I’ve been practicing makeup on my classmates during esthetics with my beginner MUA kit I built over the last couple years! Apparently I’m the only one who’s ever done that in my school. Love that you spoke about the laws and requirements varying from state to state, it’s so important to check your own state’s laws, that’s for sure! I originally hadn’t done so and thought I could do an online course and be okay. LOL. then I learned (after a few months of paying those losers my money) that I actually needed to be an esthi in my state to do makeup. So I had to go to Empire Beauty and getting into school was a pain, expensive af too but I’m finally almost through! So in NH there’s a weird makeup requirement even for the people who don’t take that class, it’s just for the state board practical where you end up doing terrible makeup on a mannequin. Instead of a mannequin, I mainly wanted to practice on my friends so that’s what I did for those counts, and it came out so well every time! I can’t wait to be able to say I’m an actual makeup artist, I’ve been working at this for over two years now! That’s actually when I first found you, through one of your MUA kit videos ❤ As glad as I am to almost be done, I’m definitely going to miss beauty school. Maybe not the mani pedis though 😂 I finished all my facials, waxing, brow and lash tint, chem peel etc counts last week! and I got certified in lash lifts which was an extra thing, not a requirement but I’m so excited. I feel like we’re on this journey together in a way ❤ so proud of you, love! It’s been a joy watching you grow over the past couple years I’ve followed you. Here’s to personal growth, learning new skills and furthering our careers 🥂❤ you amaze me and are a huge source of inspiration for me! I appreciate you and your content so much.
