The Pivot // This post and accompanying photos are an Instagram shoutout to my wife Jennifer (aka @jennysuemakeup) and how she's transformed her business during the Covid-19 pandemic. She just completed her 20th virtual makeup lesson since April.

The backstory. Before March 2020, her days were filled with private makeup consults and weddings. But that all changed on March 11, 2020.

That day precipitated all of her April and May weddings to cancel or postpone til fall, and was also the day she began reaching out to makeup clients to cancel their one on one consults.

Her makeup application and consulting business revolves around touching another person's face. Jennifer suddenly had her business ripped out from under her because of the pandemic. She and I had always said that the makeup business was recession-proof. It probably still is recession-proof, but it's definitely not global pandemic-proof.

I had been using Zoom and Skype with my video and podcast production business. So, I pitched her about offering makeup lessons virtually. But anyone could do a virtual session via FaceTime or the pinhole webcam on a laptop. I told her that I discovered a way she could use my Canon cameras as a two camera setup for her yet to be launched virtual makeup lessons.

And it worked! The key was using Ecamm Live (@ecammnetwork). It basically acts as a directors hub and integrates with Zoom for her calls and consults. Jennifer is literally the director of her online lessons - switching camera feeds, playing videos and loading product photos to help teach her clients during the lesson. It has truly been a game changer for her business.

Weddings are on the books this fall and face to face consults will continue to fill up her calendar again, but without this shutdown, her virtual makeup lesson might never have been developed. Now, it helps add another permanent revenue stream to her book of business.

Look for her in an upcoming Wired Magazine article about virtual makeup lessons.
