#38 What to Do When a Client Hates Their Makeup (Without Taking It Personally)
April 08, 2025 · 11 min

Let’s talk about the thing every working makeup artist deals with eventually, what do you do when a client doesn’t like their makeup.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to handle it with professionalism, clarity, and zero ego.

We’ll talk about:

How to prevent client dissatisfaction before it happens What to say (and not say) when someone isn’t happy How to handle vague, rude, or unclear feedback Why it’s not always about the makeup What to do if negative feedback is a pattern in your work

This one’s real, practical, and made for any artist who’s ever walked away from a job questioning themselves.
