If you feel like you’re putting in the work but your makeup isn’t getting noticed, this episode is for you. A lot of artists think standing out is about being different, but the truth is—it’s about refining your skills, developing your taste level, and consistently putting out high-quality work. And that takes time.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

The biggest reasons your work might not be getting noticed Why consistency, skill level, and presentation matter more than being “unique” How practicing more will change everything for you The role of lighting and photography in making your work stand out

Key Takeaways: 

A signature style develops over time—you can’t rush it. Clients and industry professionals book artists whose work looks polished and professional. If you’re not practicing enough, your work won’t improve fast enough to get noticed. The way you photograph and present your work is just as important as the application itself.

Your Homework This Week: 

Scroll through your last ten posts—does your work look polished and consistent? Find three to five artists whose work you admire and analyze what makes them stand out. Aim to do more makeup applications this month than last month. Improve your lighting—use natural light, clean your camera lens, and if possible, invest in a Makeup Light for professional-quality results.
