- No no no no no no no
you gon' pay me.
- I love my clients
but sometimes you get someone
that's a total nightmare.
This is the worst that I've ever dealt with.
A woman came in with her daughter.
The daughter was going to get her make-up done.
She was going to like a huge event.
And she was about between the ages of like 16 to 18.
And the mother I remember asking the daughter
if she ate something today,
and the daughter said no.
And I was starting to do her make-up
and the mom looked angry at the daughter,
so I kind of assumed
that maybe she had low blood sugar or maybe
she wasn't feeling well today.
So the mom was kinda angry,
she said she was going into the mall
to go get her something to eat.
I'm probably like 95% done at this point
and the girl didn't look so well.
And all of a sudden,
she throws up on me, on the floor,
it touched my face.
I didn't even have time to react before she passes out.
Now she passes out and she falls into my arms.
And I feel like I'm in the twilight zone
because nobody sees this.
There's nobody around, it's crazy.
So covered in vomit, I run into the mall.
She said she was going to one of the stores,
so I run, I find her.
And she's on line grabbing food for the girl.
So I was like listen, your daughter threw up,
she's not really feeling well, she passed out.
Doesn't even look shocked.
I'm like what? Girl?
We walk back together to the counter,
the girl starts eating.
And I figure they're gonna leave at this point
because obviously you're gonna go home and lay down,
you're not feeling well.
The mom turns to me and says,
can you do her make-up?
Can you finish?
I do her lashes, in vomit.
It was the craziest story of my make-up career.
I hope she's doin' alright.
- Who do I wanna start with?
One time a bride booked me,
it was for herself and just a couple other people.
I get there, I get one person's make-up done.
She's like oh this is perfect, thank you so much.
Out of the corner of my eye,
I see pacing back and forth,
and I'm like what, what is going on?
The bride starts to have a full on panic attack,
but then she starts screaming
I'm just gonna do my own make-up.
I'm gonna do it myself.
I don't know, maybe I should just,
I don't know why I booked someone.
I said to her, I'm like hey listen,
I understand if you're nervous,
it's just make-up.
If there's anything you don't like,
you know, we can take it off.
She was not having it.
She had this melt down for two hours.
One of her family members
came over to me and they said can you please talk to her.
I'm not Dr. Phil, I'm here to put make-up on you.
You wanna know how this one ends?
I spent approximately three minutes
doing this girl's make-up.
Three minutes.
And I'm like fire in my soul, like
I've never put this little eye shadow on anyone,
but I'm just doing it to go through the motions.
Boopity boop, you're done.
She walks over to the mirror,
into the hotel room mirror and goes
(sighing)
it's perfect.
And I was just like.
Okay.
- I'm Naisha and I am a make-up artist.
She was a bridal client,
so we just love those bridezillas, right?
She demanded that I be her make-up artist.
Okay, yes, I get that a lot.
I have skills a little bit.
Three weeks before her wedding,
I'm booked on that day, of course.
Good thing I had someone who canceled,
so I can squeeze her in.
I called her, and I let her know of my fees
and my deposits.
She didn't wanna pay a deposit,
she didn't wanna pay any of these fees,
she just wanted me to show up.
No no no no no no
you gon' pay me.
So now, we're talking face to face.
She says that I'm horrible, I'm a fraud, I'm a fake.
Who's a fraud?
Not me.
She throws stuff in the room.
She want me to take my earrings off.
She's in my space now,
throwing stuff, screaming.
Then she gets kicked out.
She felt some type of way.
She calls me and she's like I'm so sorry.
I just really freaked out, my wedding's coming up.
But can you do my make-up?
I'll pay the deposit.
(laughing)
No.
- So I go to this gig, it's for a medical practice.
I don't know what they were doing
but they needed me to do hair and make-up for a talent.
She finally shows up, whoever this lady is,
I have no idea who she is.
Doesn't say hello.
Doesn't say anything.
So I'm like cool, it's gonna be one of these days.
We get in the door, and she was like
first things first,
I don't really wear make-up,
I'm sure I won't like what you do.
And I'm just like okay, cool.
In my head I'm like okay, bitch, whatever.
But in her face I'm like cool.
No problem.
She's like, and another thing,
I don't know what make-up you have in that bag
but I use high end make-up.
I'm talking the expensive stuff.
And I'm like first of all, sweetheart,
my kit's not cheap, one.
Two, how are you gonna assume that I have cheap make-up?
Three, why would you hire me assuming I have cheap make-up
and I don't know what I'm doing?
And I'm thinking she's gonna whip out like
some Burberry, some Tom Ford, you know the big stuff,
some Chanel.
I'm thinking she's gonna whip out the works.
She whips out a sandwich bag
and it's full of like used brushes,
and like some Urban Decay eye shadow pallette,
and like some IT cosmetics BB cream.
I'm lookin' at her like.
But I thought you, you said you had
really expensive stuff in your kit,
but that's neither here nor there.
So I have to like take a moment
and step back to her and say
sweetheart we can't use any of this for production.
Like this is production, I need powders,
I need foundations.
She thought that she was this
in her head this high almighty expensive chic person
and she wasn't.
And that I was just some girl
with a make-up kit who knew how to do make-up.
I'm like no sweetheart,
I'm not a person who knows how to do make-up,
I am a professional make-up artist.
So that being said,
I just did what I had to do.
And I left.
Took my little couple hundred dollars
and ended up being late for my next client.
- Just like any other job,
there's gonna be crazy times,
but usually things are pretty good.
- If you're lookin' to hire a make-up artist,
do your research.
Nine times out of 10,
whatever we have in our kit,
is more expensive than what you own.
- If you have any crazy stories,
I'm gonna want to read them
as I'm falling asleep tonight,
so drop them in the comments below.
