How do I become a Make-Up Artist?

Hi!


Ive been wanting to go into the Make-Up artist field, and was wondering what I need to do to become one? Im trying to look for classes in San Diego but cant find any. Any recommendations??


And another question cosmetologist really wouldn't be the title of a Make-Up artist right?


I would really appreciate answers! Thank You!!How do I become a Make-Up Artist?
Yes, a cosmetologist can definitely include being a make-up artist! Cosmetology is the study or ART of cosmetics and their use. Sounds like a make-up artist to me! The school will probably use the the word cosmetology because it covers all different aspects of the field so don't get discourged by the use of the word. Just make sure the school offers specific classes designed for what you are looking for! I just googled it and found several schools in San Diego! Good luck! :) How do I become a Make-Up Artist?
Just search up make-up/hair/aesthetics in the San Diego area on Google Search Engine, and it will definitely show you some academies that offer a makeup-artistry certificate. To become a makeup artist all you have to do is go to an academy (school) for about half a year to a year, to learn how to do makeup. Once you have successfully finished this coarse, you will receive your makeup-artistry certificate which will make it official that you have the skills, knowledge and ability to do makeup professionally on yourself and others. However, a cosmetologist is an individual who works for the department store in which the cosmetic brand is suited in, such as Chanel in Neiman Marcus. The cosmetologist does not directly work ';Chanel';, but they represent Chanel and Neiman Marcus, so their salary is paid equally by both companies. They are driven to meeting and exceeding daily/monthly goals, sell cosmetic merchandise and recieve commisson, and follow the rules of that department store. Where on the other hand, a makeup artist works directly for the company, say for example a Chanel Makeup artist. Their salary is fully paid by Chanel, but do not make commisson, however they help with area-wide makeup events, and help sell and encourage product investment from the consumer. It's an awesome industry and you will enjoy it because it opens your brain to creativity and imagination!
you should be able to fiund make-up colleges in places. in australia, we got napolean that does a lot of that. like the places that only do makeup, nothing else.


doing a bit of work experience in a place like that beforehand will help you get into one of them.


and if ny place uses the word cosmetologist, its way too pretentious. a makeup artist is a makeup artist!!
I asked this almost exact question and got zero answers so... Good luck!
