What’s involved
A production team putting together a runway show during New York Fashion Week is looking to add a makeup artist to their glam squad backstage. This is a trade gig, not a paid one — in exchange for your time you'll walk away with a large batch of professionally shot, high-res photos of your work on the runway, full video footage of the show, and an on-air credit as MUA when the show airs on TV. It's a solid way to build your portfolio and make some industry connections. You should be comfortable working with all skin tones and able to keep up in a fast-moving backstage environment — there won't be much downtime once the show starts. The show itself is set for the 2nd week of September (Sept 10). Because they're getting a lot of interest, please reply with a link to your social media/portfolio, a few photos of recent work, and a phone number so their creative director can give you a call.
