How To Become A Makeup Artist

Make-up artists provide their clients with beauty and grooming services such as applying make-up; cutting, coloring and styling hair; providing skin care procedures such as facials and chemical peels; and nail treatments such as manicures and pedicures. Some make-up artists, especially those who work in the television and film industries, also design the make-up required for a production. They create the elaborate make-up and wigs used to change the shape or face of a performer.

All states require make-up artists to be licensed. To become a make-up artist, you need to meet the qualifications for a license, which in almost all states includes having completed a full-time course in make-up and cosmetology. These courses are offered by a variety of colleges and training centers, as well as state-licensed cosmetology schools, and typically a license takes about two years to complete. In some states, an apprenticeship in cosmetology can substitute for graduation from a cosmetology school. An apprenticeship program can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Once you have completed your training, you will need to pass a written test as well as demonstrate an ability to perform basic cosmetic services in order to obtain your license as a make-up artist.

Make-up artists need to keep up on current trends and fashions as well as beauty techniques. For this reason, becoming a make-up artist will require you to continue your education throughout your career. Many make-up artists will attend product shows and training conferences where new products and techniques are introduced and demonstrated.

There are many jobs available for make-up artists in industries such as fashion, film and television, or image consulting. Most make-up artists work for television networks, production companies, major stage productions, and at fashion shows. There are also jobs available for make-up artists in beauty salons and as part of the medical profession.

Make-up artists who work in television and film typically work as freelance make-up artists. They are hired on a contract basis such as for the duration of a film production or a television series. The majority of make-up artists are freelance, and competition for jobs can be quite fierce. Experience, education, and specialty skills can give you an edge when looking for jobs, particularly in the television and film industry.
