at one point i was considering starting my own beauty consultancy business. such as the mary kay, virgin vie ones. but not sure if it is worth it. for example virgin vie you pay out £120 for a starter kit

mary kay gives two start up options £30 and £75 dependent on investment that you wish to make

what do you business savvy people reckon. is this worth it

Lady Day best way round it is this way...

Most people will definitely go for a make over...

if you were to do a make up artist course... and get some willing victims be they friends or family...

you can get a decent portfolio together...

and specialise in doing weddings or special occasions...

Because if someone likes a makeover they are far more inclined to buy the products....

then you can sell the make up as a side line/ use the products for retail for make over...

in addition... if you have a friend who does hair you can pull together wedding packages...

a friend of mine is a receptionist but she was a make up artist for a number of years...

normally each weekend she will have a wedding to do... gets about £100 upwards...

it is not about the money... but the more make up expertise that you have... the better you can sell/promote your products...

but make up artist work is more financially viable than selling make up at parties... because of all the people I know who have done the Mary Kay route there are few who have made money... or done well out of it...

as there are a plethora of shops/ supermarkets that do that already (Boots, superdrug, Sephora, Space NK, Pout, even Tesco )...

if you offer a service aspect then you can increase the viability of having a venture like this...
