For primers and concealers, we recommend having 3 cool and 3 warm tones in your kit. A light, medium and dark tone. You can mix the tones together and also get other color nuances. So be careful not to choose the tones too close to each other. The same applies to powder, always have powder in different tones and a transparent loose powder. For the eyebrows there are great palettes with all tones, even pens you should always have in the right tones. Pay attention to cool tones and not too warm. With the eye shadow, the lip palette and the blush, it is of course important to adapt them to your jobs.

The first jobs usually take place on a TFP basis, which means that the payment is paid by the resulting photos. With these you can then advertise yourself. It may also be that you only pay a small expense allowance of eg. € 50,-. From a certain point in time and if you find yourself that you have now gained enough experience, think about a fee. For shootings as a newcomer we recommend at the beginning about € 150, – for half a day and € 300, – for a whole day. If you are unsure about a booking, you can always ask the agency or the photographer what budget is planned for the visa. In case of further uncertainties, we are also there for you. Feel free to ask us. Again, you raise your prices after several jobs and different requests.
For brides you can be a newcomer for make-up and hair incl. a sample eg. €180,-. For each additional person who wants to be finished € 60,-.
