i wanna cut my makeovers down in time and i need some tips or tricks on being faster, but still exicuting beautiful makeup. see thats my problem, im way OCD and very detail oriented, i refuse to produce sloppy work, even when its for some annoying 16 yr old prom girl. some of the girls at my store can bust out quicker makeovers than me, but the looks are very basic and i feel people come to us to have the mac experiance and if they wanted a basic look they would go to clinque or bobbi brown (not trashing them, they are just more basic beauty looks). part of my problem is im more artist driven than sales driven. i mean i still make my goal and my AUS stays above average, but i know it could be stronger if sped up but still maintained the skill level. so do any of you have tricks or tips in executing a flawless look from skincare to lashes in a quick amount of time? i did my cousins wedding today, it was 6 faces (5 with lashes) and it took me almost 4 hours to do everyone. but i had no help and did lashes on all of them except for my aunt. i like to keep a clean work space, so after each girl i tossed the disposables into an empty mac bag, and sprayed my brushes with brush cleaner and alcohol and swiped them on a towel. i also had to mix the foundations because i wasnt sure what the girls looked like so i had to custom blend studio fix fluid for each girl, and my cousin wanted them to have their own individual look so i didnt just pump out one look on each girl. i felt like i was moving quick enough but time just flew. in the end, even though we were late, they all looked stunning and my cousin and aunt were super pleased. i just wish i couldve created the looks quicker. please advise!!
