Make-up artistry is an exciting career path – makeup artists can work on a freelance basis, applying make-up for weddings and formals, working for magazines, applying makeup for the film & TV industry, applying makeup for fashion parades and events, photoshoots for catalogues and commercials and retail cosmetics sales, just to name a few.

Every girl enjoys putting on her makeup to look glamorous for a special occasion. Not only can you transform your look to match with your outfit, but you can also enhance your features, and by using makeup camouflage techniques, you can disguise any unwanted features.

As a makeup artist you can make a bride look and feel beautiful on her wedding day. You can transform models into a look for a fashion parade or for a photoshoot. You might apply the makeup for a character in a movie or TV show. A career in makeup artistry could lead you to all sorts of places.
