#33 How to Develop Your Signature Style as a Makeup Artist


Listen Later

If you’ve ever wondered how to develop a signature style in makeup artistry, this episode is for you.

Your signature style isn’t something you can force or decide on overnight—it develops through practice, experience, and real-world feedback. In this episode, I break down:

 • What a signature style actually is (and what it isn’t).

 • Why it takes time to develop.

 • How your work experience, client feedback, and market demand shape your style.

 • The role of social media and why posting consistently matters.

 • The importance of taste in curating a commercially viable aesthetic.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to build your signature style naturally while refining your skills and positioning yourself as a sought-after makeup artist.

Key Takeaways from This Episode: 

✔️ Your signature style is shaped by experience – It develops through repetition, mastering the basics, and refining your techniques over time.

✔️ Market demand plays a role – The jobs you get hired for and the looks your clients request contribute to your signature aesthetic.

✔️ Social media matters – Posting consistently allows potential clients to recognize your work and understand what you offer.

✔️ Taste is a skill, not just a preference – Being selective about what you post and how you present your work influences your brand as an artist.

✔️ Luck exists, but consistency wins – While some artists get quick opportunities, most develop their style through steady work, trial and error, and continuous learning.
