How do I get some more work as a make-up artist?

Hi,


I just moved to UK 4 months ago, so I'm starting my whole life and career from the beginning .I'm fully qualified make up artist and hair stylist. How I can advertise myself (free, I can't afford paid ones yet) ? Just to help a bit , I do bridal make up, worked on the model shoots .I would be greatfull for some help and ideas.


Thanks :)How do I get some more work as a make-up artist?
Internet - modeling sites such as purestorm etc


free newspapers (loot) etc


send mails to photographers


local free papers


cards in local stores


local hairdressers

If you talk to some hairdressers, find out if they have a wedding hair cut coming up, do a few wedding/prom makeovers for free and see what hairdressers think and give them your card so they can recommend you for makeup to customers (until you can get a name for yourself to do hair).


Also advertising on the internet does help. See if your local area has a website or a local newspaper, put an advert in there.





Good luck.
Go to youtube, if you didn't hear about panacea81, check her youtube channel http://uk.youtube.com/user/panacea81


She became very famous, because of youtube. She worked with barry m, making online tutorials, and now she is making her own make-up line. Very lucky girl.


P.S. all happened in one year!!
Try to build a relationship with local wedding photographers/videographers, bridal dress shops and any other service related to weddings. They can refer you to some of their clients.
Advertise in local newspapers, and make a website.
