Why become a make-up artist?

1. It’s a flexible career. You can set up your own business, or work anywhere in the country.
2. You could start small and end up working in theatre, film, TV, fashion, photography and many more industries.
3. Working as a make-up artist is more than just applying make-up. It can involve working with special effects, taking photos, researching styles and working with a design team.
4. Express your creativity, meet new people and travel to new places.
5. You’ll never stop learning, or improving your skills.
6. You don’t need to be an expert, or have your own YouTube channel, to be a great make-up artist. All you need is the right training.
