#39 What New Makeup Artists Need to Know About Assissting (But Aren’t Being Told)

Listen Later

So… you want to assist a makeup artist.

Before you volunteer yourself (or worse—show up unprepared), listen to this episode. I’m breaking down what assisting actually looks like, the mindset shifts you need to make, and why most newer artists are getting it wrong.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • What should I bring to an assisting job?
  • Will I get to do makeup?
  • How do I not overstep?
  • Why do so many artists hate working with assistants?

    • This episode will answer all of that—and more.

    You’ll learn:

    • What your role as an assistant really is (hint: it’s not about showing off your skills)
    • How to make a great impression without saying a word
    • Why showing up early, staying quiet, and paying attention goes further than you think
    • How assisting can actually fast-track your career (if you do it right)
    • What experienced artists wish more assistants understood

      • And if the idea of assisting makes you nervous?

      That’s probably a sign you should do it.
