She probably did find I was snobbish and rude, but she was not easy either.

I put two small holes in each top corner & connected it to a slick stainless steel eyeglass chain using o-rings. I wear this around my neck at all times on all jobs. Couple this with wearing a perfectly executed neutral day make-up look, ultimate professionalism, a well organized kit/train case - you project the polished image of a PROFESSIONAL MAKE-UP ARTIST. This seems to help ward off pests.

that is a fantastic idea! the cards laminated as a badge or something. i do the all black too, but i like to wear hats and bangles, etc... with the neutral makeup too.... i did my friend's makeup (a singer) recently and ppl were saying "the makeup artist. she looks like a makeup artist" lol (i'm not one professionally yet) but i thought it was interesting what people perceive as what a mua looks like!

I did not and do not expect paying but what really annoyed me was the fact that in the speeches everyone who had helped got thanked and got a gift and i got nothing. Dont get me wrong I dont need a bunch of flowers but it would have been nice to have been thanked for my hard work considering I didnt just do the make-up before the wedding i touched up before any photos and re-did it all for the evening.. Sorry needed a rant lol

omg! i'm so sorry to hear that.. that really sucks! we are just not appreciated!! she'll remember when she sees her pics and think how pretty she looks :
