make up artists usually have to be qualified in their field.however i am a qualified makeup artist i trained at a modelling agency.i can give you tips upon how to do this.


firstly if you can apply makeup on a face with varius different looks you could be on your way.secondly keep practising this maybe on your friends to achieve this if they let you. if you ca do this then i will suggest buy a whole load of makeup from ebay which is quite cheap different colours etc. then apply for freelancing jobs as a makeup artist in anything. yes i know it can be nerve racking however schooling is very expensive. then what you have to do is build a portfolio of your work from everything you do. freelancing artistry will get paid for travel expenses only, you may get paid alternativly by ';timecd'; this is when your work that you have done is put on a disk and then you can put your images in your portfolio. once after you have a lot of work in your portfolio then take it to agencies.


you have to have a portfolio of your work that you have done or no one will take you on.


good luck hope it goes well.xHow can i get a job as a make-up artist in london and like how much would i get paid?
you need to train first and get qualified first you need to do a course try going to www.amershamandwycombe college.ac.uk for further information and anycourses.
Yes you do.


You need to train with a make-up artist and the pay is not good while you are learning.


If you can get over that and do well you could be earning a lot..for example..my Mother In law was Head of make up on Corrie and she was earning in excess of 50K plus..but she has been doing it for 20+ years!!
