Your free Makeup Artist Contract Template is on its way. It should arrive within the next few minutes.
Don't see it? Check your spam and move it to your primary inbox — you'll want everything that follows.
BEFORE YOU OPEN THE TEMPLATE
Read every clause.
You need to understand what you’re asking clients to agree to. It is your contract — own it before you send it.
Fill in every bracketed field.
Your name, rates, deposit percentage, travel radius, payment methods. Do not send a blank contract.
Adjust the cancellation tiers.
The defaults are suggestions, not rules. Set percentages that match what your business actually requires.
Save your completed version.
Somewhere you can find it fast. You should not be rebuilding this from scratch for every booking.
Send it before you take a deposit.
Contract signed + deposit received = date secured. That is the only sequence that works.

A Note
You just took one of the most important steps in your business.
Not because the template is magic. Because you decided to do this right — to build the backend before you need it, to stop operating on hope and start operating on a system.
That decision compounds. Every booking from here is protected.
