Assisting for MUA's Part 2 | DO's and DON'TS 

I am going to assist an artist tomorrow and this really helped me to get an idea of what my job is going to be. Thanks a lot Angie 😘

I'm not a makeup artist nor do I really want to be, I'm just someone who really loves makeup and stumbled across your channel. But your videos have opened my eyes to how hard of a job being a makeup artist can really be sometimes and I think people like myself who don't work in the industry just think being a makeup artist is all fun, glitz and glam. Seeing how much actually goes into being a serious makeup artist gives me much more respect for them.

Your videos are always really good and informative, thank you!

You are LEGIT!

Thank you for this. I have my first assistant job this weekend for a professional shoot. Tips were very practical and informative. I liked that you didn’t sugar coat anything!!

Thank you so much for this video, it helps me to understand deeply the assistant job😍🤗🤗🤗

Your videos are great very informative keep it up 👏👏👏👏

Where my concern lies is with details not directly associated with handling the makeup (aka holding their products, passing them products, etc.). For example, I know that a lot of times assistants have to coordinate things like making sure all of the models have arrived, or going out before the shoot to buy them a specific type of lightbulb for their ring-light (random examples but hopefully you get what I mean). Do you have any tips on how to be more of a quick-thinker or what to do in situations regarding random but complicated tasks/coordinating things that you may not be able to prepare for? Hope this makes sense! :)

Amazingly helpful! I am starting my career later in life at 36. I have worked in film and tv in Toronto in the sets/props department and am making the leap to makeup. I am very excited to get started assisting but have zero contacts so far. Do you know of any networking industry events I could participate in to meet some folks? Again, many Thanks for all of your videos! ❤

Wow! I'm here fist! Love your channel Angie~ love u so much ❤️

Thank you so much I had no idea abt assisting and recently went to one, having no clue. I agree it's a very competitive world, I'm all about work ethics, and getting some cold shoulders has suprised me. If ure good, they don't like you, if ure not they're happy. Thanks a ton for sharing your experiences and knowledge. Lots of love from Madrid xoxo

my favorite videos of the week :) awesome video as always Angie :)

Hi Angie, great video! I'm assisting a makeup artist for the first time this weekend for a wedding. Just wondering, If i arrive at the house early, is it best to wait for the makeup artist out the front?

I'm totally up for this, the graft is par for the course, paying your dues as it were. But I cannot for the life of me find where these positions might be advertised in the UK!? Anyone know?

Do you think it's possible to assist only during weekends or we should have full range of days avaliable... #singlemumtrouble xxxx

Man this was good, but has made me not eager to assist now. Especially if the head MUA is going to be disrespectful towards you even if you are just an assistant or if Muas are very protective of their network and clients and dont want you to build your career out of jealousy, how do you even get going as a completely new artist to the industry? This is my concern.

Set Bag stories , vol 1 :) the story of my life! Keep on Rocking gorgeous xoxo

Really helpful thank you xx

Good advice 👍🏽

I’m interested in what the pay rate usually is for assistants? Is it a flat rate, based on per hour, per person, or a percentage? I know it’s different based on each artist. Anyone willing to share their past experience?
