Do you need special powers or talent to succeed as

Do you need special powers or talent to succeed as an MUA or hairstylist?

I thought I'd do this post because I keep getting lots of messages from MUAs & hairstylists distraught & extremely low in confidence, doubting their ability to make it & on the verge of giving up on their dreams.
So do you actually need to be born with any special gifts in order to succeed as a bridal MUA or hairstylist?

I don't believe you do. But what I do believe is that:

If you have artistic flair in you, it might take a little less time for you to master makeup/hair. But you will still have to practice plenty! Even the most talented sports people, singers & artists work hard every day to hone their craft.

If you don't feel you are artistic or particularly talented but you feel passion for MU/H - it might take you longer & you might have to put in more effort. You might have to dedicate more hours to mastering your craft to an excellent level - but you can DEFINITELY do this.
The second category is where I fall into. I have no special powers or supreme talent, but what I did/do have that I believe are the main factors in achieving success are:

AMAZING EDUCATION FROM THE START
WORK ETHIC
If you have these, you’re on the road to success. This doesn't happen overnight but consistent work will definitely bring benefits sooner or later.

If you have skill-gaps because of insufficient education & talk yourself out of working on your skills & business, the results will be very different.

Wishing you all a productive lockdown! May it not last for much longer tho, I’m sure we’re all itching to get our brushes on our brides and clients! // #positivevibes #inspiration #staypositive #dreamjob #goalsetting #mua #mualife #careergoals #workforyourself #bossbabe #selfemployed #bridalmakeupartist #bridalhairstylist #makeupartistsworldwide #makeup #quotes #quoteoftheday

⁣Another day another 2 FB LIVE bridal hair sessions by @kasia_fortuna . This is the second style that Kasia demonstrated to pro hairstylists who attended her virtual bridal hairstyling session. Her love for hair is infectious & she’s getting ready to rock the bridal world even more once we’re thru the lock down. ⠀
⠀
Kasia is constantly pushing herself to style better, she's eagerly experimenting with new hairstyling techniques & she's styling hair at least 3 full days a week during the lock down. ⠀
⠀
She was really good before but after all this time dedicated to perfecting her skills, she will definitely reach the new heights. ⠀
⠀
Kasia, I'm in awe of your dedication to achieving perfection! 🌟⠀

⁣MY WORK STATION... this is where I work on my dreams.⠀
⠀
⠀
Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time here because like everyone in my industry, I have no F2F appointments anymore. But what I do have is all this extra time to come up with new goals, new ideas & to work on them. ⠀
⠀
Distractions are plentiful too! The sun is out so I always want to be in the garden or An eagerly awaited daily jog or a bike ride. I also want endless coffee sessions on the front step, or long video calls with family & friends. And then of course time for books, perfecting illustration skills, sorting out stuff at the new studio, keeping my 12 year old busy with various activities, cooking new recipes etc...⠀
⠀
⠀
I’m forever battling with myself: half of my brain is whispering that I must use most of this time to catch up on work and tasks that I never had time for & another half is trying to convince me to have as much fun & leisure time. But this morning I’m ready to be productive! Wishing you all a lovely day ahead. // #mualife #workspace #workfromhome #selfemployed #businessowner #homeoffice #mua ⠀

⁣You never know what you’ll enjoy before you t

⁣You never know what you’ll enjoy before you try it. I never knew I’d enjoy hairstyling but having tried it, I’m definitely loving it. When the work restarts I don’t know if I’ll have time to continue learning hair in order to master it really well but for now it’s my fave hobby!⠀
⠀
I know from @kasia_fortuna that she's learning how to edit videos following my video editing tutorial & I think she's enjoying it! ⠀
⠀
We can always learn something new no matter how long we've been doing our job. Especially self-employed people need to master quite a few different skills: from social media to marketing; from story telling to book keeping and on top of all this photography, videography, editing, web updates etc. I could go on!⠀
