Professional Make-Up Artist

Have you ever wanted to become a professional make-up artist? Perhaps it has been your interest to put make-up on every time you go out of your house for school or maybe you enjoy applying colors on others faces. Radiance is indeed important. It is true that make-up make the face aglow as it lightens spots and hides flaws of the skin. Make-up artist are almost always successful at bringing out the best in a person making them able to stand tall and be confident. Just look at the work of Pat McGrath, Tom Pecheux, and Gucci Westman and how they achieved such beautiful make up looks.

So whatever the reason for your love of makeup, it is certainly a fulfilling career to be one of the top notch make-up artist in town. Nowadays, this kind of career is especially becoming in demand in the job market. But before you think about the money that you can get out of playing with colors and mixing and matching shades, you should know how to be a top notch makeup artist in the first place. So what shall you do before anything else?

Start a Makeup Blog

Find you own voice by showcasing your makeup skills for all the world to see. This is a great way to build your portfolio, get bookings, and potentially get yourself recognized by top beauty and fashion magazines. Luckily, starting a makeup blog is relatively easy thanks to blogging platforms such as WordPress that come with tons of plugins and features as well as support diverse programming languages. You can create your own makeup blog here with my easy-to-use tutorial. You can start your blog for as low as $2.95 a month and you’ll get a free domain if you sign up through my tutorial. I have a free blogging course you can join too that will help you start and launch a successful makeup blog!

Earn a Degree!

Firstly, it would be good if you can earn a degree in this field while you blog. It will not take long for you to gain a certificate in this area of interest. Online design courses are available so it would be easier for you to enroll and learn the basic knowledge that you will need in your future career. By doing so, you will be familiar with the fundamentals of good design. But of course, you need to choose an online school with a good reputation. Ask your friends around or consult with online experts.

Get Creative with Color

If your hobby is reading fashion magazines so you will gain creative ideas on how to become a top notch makeup artist which is rewarding. Colors are a makeup artists’ best friend so it is important that you are generally familiar with colors and color combination. Not all colors will look good on everyone’s skin and a professional make-up artist will know which colors will compliment the face.

Get an Edge on the Competition

Experience is also an important factor. Earning a degree and also having background on makeup will give you an edge among other aspiring makeup artists. It is part of widening your horizons and developing your skills more as you express yourself through colors. You will also have to learn to stretch your patience in times that you will be criticized by your clients or your mentors. Accept criticisms constructively and you will find success in the future.

Experience is key

Becoming an intern to respected beauty firms and hair and makeup salons or working at a makeup counter will allow you to earn both good experience and fulfilling career path to becoming a top-notch makeup artist. Also working in firms that sell make-up will help you learn more about color combinations. Learning through hands-on practice is necessary in this field. So be ready to take on the challenge of experimenting with colors and developing your skills.
