About a Career as a Makeup Artist

There are few jobs that offer so many benefits. As a makeup artist you will have the satisfaction of making your vision a reality.

A makeup artist is intimately involved in the most important and exciting events of people's lives, from weddings to the Academy Awards. Makeup artists get to work with celebrities such as models, actors, politicians, and musicians.

As a makeup artist you will have a rewarding job with flexible hours. If you start your own business as a freelance makeup artist you will enjoy the freedom of being your own boss. Top makeup artists get paid hundreds or thousands of dollars a day for their services. Plus you may get invitations to parties, admission to exclusive restaurants and clubs, or introductions to other celebrities you admire.

Professional makeup artists are more in demand than ever before. Here are just a few of the job opportunities for makeup artists. Which ones can you imagine yourself doing makeup for?

• Advertisements
• Magazines
• Modeling agencies
• Movies
• Music videos
• Runway shows
• Salons and spas
• Television
• Theater

If you work with individuals, your clients might be people who need to look their best for a special occasion, such as an awards dinner, beauty pageant, prom night, or wedding. Or you might help cancer survivors look and feel better about themselves.

As long as you have the desire, you can become a professional makeup artist. You don't need years of specialized training to start out as a makeup artist in many jurisdictions. Unlike becoming a cosmetologist or esthetician which have strict requirements (such as hours worked, type of training, and a written test), in many locations you can become a makeup artist immediately.
