Free Beauty Samples

Beauty samples are great for Makeup Artist because it allows us to test out new products, new companies, and new colors. I love collecting product samples to test out or give to clients as a small token of appreciation. I use samples:

-To give to my private clients like women going to reunions, special occasions, and even wedding guest.
-I also use them as part of my touch up kits that I give to my bridal clients and their party.
-They are great for using them in a goody bag with my clients that take makeup lessons which I offer both private and in groups.
-Of course I use them on myself to test out products that I haven't tried yet

Be forewarned that because these samples are free there is a "catch"... sometimes products can take between 6-8 weeks to arrive. Also usually it requires you to sign up at a website which sometimes is used to keep you updated with that particular brands latest products aka beauty spammed. I keep a separate account for samples so that my inbox does not get bombarded with company updates. Also please do not give out your social security number or phone number, usually if these require a phone number I give a false one or my Google Voice number, I also try to give out a fake birthday to be cautious.
