The other day I was speaking to someone who had been reading our guide on why all makeup artists should have their own website.  They wanted to get a new website setup but they had no idea where to start.

If you start looking for information or guides on “The Google” about how to do this then you might get hopelessly lost in page after page of technical guides.

So they asked me to help them and I walked them through it in 5 minutes.  Most of this time was choosing the right domain name (which can be the hardest step)!

I know what you might be thinking – “Matt, you know what you are doing!”  Well yes I do – and so that’s why I’ve written out my step by step process so that you can follow along.

Insurance for freelance makeup artists is no different to insurance for any business.  If you don’t have makeup artist business insurance then you are putting yourself and your business at risk.

According to a report from 2015 by the Insurance Council of Australia 21.4% of small home operated businesses are not insured and 10% admit to being under-insured!

In these instances, it may take just a single incident to financially ruin your business.  So what sort of things could happen that makeup artist business insurance can protect you from?

• A client has an extreme allergic reaction and sues you
• Your kit is stolen, damaged or is lost
• You are in a client home and you accidentally break an expensive household item.
• An equipment failure causes an electrical fire
• You put your hair straightener on the client’s $5000 table and burn the tabletop
