Don't go in with a preconceived notion of what you should be doing. Instead, take cues from your mentor and be open to adapting to their needs.Be a support system: Being a creative can be mentally and physically exhausting. As an assistant, it's your job to be a source of support for your mentor. This means being positive, low maintenance, and offering help wherever you can.Pursue your passion: Makeup and hair is a rewarding career, but it's also tough. If you're thinking about pursuing a career in this field, give it a go, but also have a backup plan. Stay in your own lane and don't compare yourself to others. Remember, there's a client for everyone.I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did. Don't forget to rate and subscribe to The Makeup Insider podcast so you never miss an episode.
