I’m a makeup artist who work in Beauty and fashion industry and I’m not ashamed to admit…. 1. Not every job is paid. 💸 Test shoots are a huge part of being a makeup artist in beauty and fashion industry, I have to constantly update my portfolio, build connections, sometimes without making money, It’s frustrating, but it’s necessary. 2. I don’t love every look I create. 🤔 There have been plenty of times I finished a look, took a step back, and immediately hated it. Some never make it to my portfolio, and that’s okay, failure is part of growth. 3. I get stuck creatively, too. 🫣 I’m not always bursting with new, cool ideas. Sometimes, I hit a wall and feel completely uninspired. It’s uncomfortable, but I’ve learned that creativity comes in waves. 4.I still compare myself to other artists. 💔 No matter how much I grow, I catch myself looking at insanely talented MUAs and wondering if I’m good enough. I know the only person I should compare myself to is past me, but let’s be real…it’s easier said than done. 5.I don’t always feel confident in my work. 🙌🏼 Imposter syndrome sneaks up on me, making me question my skills, even when I know I’ve worked hard to be here. But I remind myself that doubt doesn’t mean I’m not good enough as an artist…it just means I care. 6.Social media doesn’t show the full picture. I post my best work, but what you don’t see are the failed looks, the tough clients, or the moments of self-doubt. No one’s journey is as perfect as their Instagram feed. 7. Passion doesn’t mean I’m always motivated. I love makeup, but some days, I feel uninspired, tired, or just over it. That doesn’t make me any less of an artist…it makes me human. . . . . . Can you related to this or I’m just crazy 😂
