Make up artist James Clark trained professionally in Glasgow ten years ago and invited fashion hot mess to a test shoot in Delicious / Sinclair models in central Glasgow and then to a fashion show several days later.
In order to be successful within the industry it is crucial to have as many contacts as possible. Makeup artists gain their clients through networking, demonstrating a passion for their career. A makeup artist may be so talented that people would pay thousands to work with them; however it is essential that they make themselves known and be deserving in gaining their contacts.

e most important and one of the first things you think meeting James Clark is – he must know how to network. It is evident not only from his enthusiastic personality but from the exhibition of his dedication to his career as a make up artist (MUA).

It was through fashion that James and I met. I observed him at a test shoot with Sinclair Models at Delicious Studios in central Glasgow where he was working with both models and actresses for portfolio and headshot shoots as well as finalising briefs 
for a fashion show he was contributing to the management of several days later.

His enthusiasm and dedication is inspiring to make up artists, together with individuals in the industry and any person who wants to know what it is like to love the career they has aspired 
to and succeeded in.
