Priv Pro

Low pay

This program is probably a good fit for those who have just finished makeup training and are starting their journey in the industry — for people who simply need to gain hands-on experience and make some connections. I registered and passed the casting, but I won’t be working with them. They set a flat rate of $96 for all makeup artists and then take 60% of that. Unfortunately, I just can’t work for those prices, and I honestly don’t know how others do it. I use high-end luxury products and have over 10 years of experience. A client visit alone costs me around $18 in bridge tolls and about $30 for parking, which basically makes the makeup session free. It’s a pity that the creators undervalue this field so much and don’t distinguish artists by their level of expertise. But if you’re just starting out, this might be a decent opportunity to gain experience, build your portfolio, and at least cover the cost of your products. Good luck to everyone!

Nice concept, but the app barely works

I’m a makeup pro who would love to get consistent bookings through priv. Unfortunately, the app crashes each time I open it. If they didn’t text me personally for appointments, then this service would be entirely useless to me.
