Makeup Artist
Makeup artists are rather popular nowadays, but if there’s one thing the global pandemic showed us is that online tutorials are sometimes extremely effective. If you’re good with your makeup, why not create tutorials and guides that are going to help others who want to learn?

When you’re doing makeup tutorials, there are two things you should be careful about. The first one is to stick to photos and videos, rather than text. With makeup, it’s critical that anyone following your tutorials can actually see what they should be doing, and text doesn’t help much. The second one is to try to get close to your audience, so try to stick to products that are generally widely available and can be bought for an affordable price.
The ideal way to go about this is to establish a following on one of your social media channels, where you’ll post makeup tutorial videos. Then, you can not only start a move to your own website (which is better in terms of monetization), but you can also start brand collaborations that get you more money.
Influencer
Despite what some people might say, being a social media influencer is an actual job. It’s a career choice that, for the successful, can get a lucrative lifestyle full of luxury and a massive following on social media. And it’s perfect for women who have charisma and know-how to engage with their following.
When you’re starting out, the first thing you should work on is getting plenty of followers that are interested in the products you want to promote. Whether you do that by posting ads on social media, or by getting others to advertise your products, it’s important to have plenty of followers. The more you have, the better your chances of brands noticing you and wanting to work with you.
Once you’ve got a healthy amount of people who are engaging, you can start doing brand collaborations. You might not get to work with the high-end brands you really love at first, but don’t lose hope – that’s something that comes down the line and all you have to do is keep working hard.
Eventually, you’re not going to be the one who contacts brands to work with them – they’ll want you. It’s all about being honest, engaging with your followers, and making sure you don’t promote any shady or outright bad products.
Social Media Manager
Do you know what’s the one thing that beauty brands with a strong social media presence have in common? A quality social media manager who knows the targeted audience by heart, and knows what they’re doing. If you’ve been following some of these brands and know and love their products already, you’re halfway there. And if you know a thing or two about social media management (or are willing to learn), this can be the perfect career choice for you.

Social media management is all about knowing how social media platforms work in terms of advertising and making use of that in order to promote the brands you’re working with. You should research and analyze the target market, and figure out what kind of content they enjoy most – then use social media to serve that exact content to them. This drives engagement and will make sure the brands you’re promoting have a constant following that actually enjoys them and their products.
By working as a social media manager for beauty brands, you not only get to learn how targeted advertising works and how to best use it so the brand can grow, but you also get to see the internal workings of some of your favorite brands.
To add to this, social media managers tend to get paid rather handsomely, but make sure you get a good deal. If you aren’t sure of how good you’re doing, avoid success-based payment options – those are only good if you’re 100% certain that you’ll drive engagement. Instead, opt for a fixed rate or an hourly rate, those are the two options that will guarantee a good salary when you start working.
