Good for beginners who want to get started ASAP.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Diploma programmes<\/strong> (3 to 12 months)<\/h5>\n<p>These take a closer look at specializations, product knowledge, colour correction and building up a portfolio. Loads of good institutes across India offer diploma courses.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Advanced diplomas and professional certifications<\/strong> (up to 1 year or more)<\/h5>\n<p>These are the ones to do if you&#8217;re after fashion, film, high-end bridal work &#8211; the works.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Workshops and masterclasses<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>These are great for honing in on specific skills like airbrush, SFX or HD makeup.

Clients are not going to hire you on what you tell them, but on what they actually see when they look at your work.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What makes a strong portfolio:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure those before-and-after shots are clean, well-lit and look like they&#8217;re off a magazine cover.<\/li>\n<li>Mix it up a bit: show them your day looks, your bridal makeups, your bold\/editorial looks and your natural, mature skin makeups.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure there&#8217;s a bit of variety when it comes to skin tones and face shapes. That way, clients can get a better idea of what you can do.<\/li>\n<li>And most importantly, keep your image quality consistent across the board. Consider teaming up with a good photographer to help with that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Where to build your presence:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Instagram<\/strong> \u2013 Keep posting your work , use the right hashtags and actually engage with your followers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Google Business Profile<\/strong> \u2013 You need this if you want to get listed in local search results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>WhatsApp Business<\/strong> \u2013 Handy for getting those word-of-mouth bookings here in India.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal website or linktree<\/strong> \u2013 Where you can showcase your full portfolio and all the other contact info you need to share with potential clients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Word-of-mouth is still one of the best ways to get more clients. Happy clients bring in more happy clients. So do make sure you&#8217;re asking for reviews and referrals after every successful booking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/advanced-fashion-designing-and-boutique-management\/?utm_source=fashion-designing&amp;utm_medium=blog_referral&amp;utm_campaign=basic-sewing-techniques\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn Advanced Designing &amp; Boutique Skills with Experts.
