a talent at make-up
application, it can be
highly beneficial to start
your own make-up artist
business. Anyone who enjoys

work from there.

obtain a State Board license
before ever working on
clients. Finding a
Cosmetology school is easy
and usually these classes
are offered at your local
community college or at
trade school.

make-up artist business, you
should become a freelancer
and send your portfolio to
different production
companies. A lot of
independent filmmakers hire
freelance crew. You can also

capital to start your
make-up artist business,
just money for advertising
and your makeup. To cut
costs, you can often find
websites and magazines that
will list your services. You
might need capital for your
portfolio as well, but you
should practice your make-up
styles on friends and
photograph them to use. All
you will need is a friend
with a digital camera. Other
equipment you will need is
your choice of make-up
including: foundation,
different color pencils,
shadows, mascara, blusher
and more.

your own make-up artist
business, you should start
practicing today, obtain a
State Board license and work

word of mouth. Good luck!
