How does a aspiring make up artist learn more?

A good way to start out is by finding pictures of make up looks you like and trying to duplicate them. Invest in good brushes and quality make-up (M.A.C. and Make-up Forever are typical industry standards) and, if you're really serious, you might consider enrolling in beauty school to further educate yourself.





Lastly, if you feel confident in your skills, try going on craigslist to find photo shoots and movies that are often seeking make up artists. You may have to do a few free jobs, but this will build up your resume and eventually will lead to paying work.How does a aspiring make up artist learn more?

A great way to start and to get paid for training is to get a job at Macy's, Nordstrom, or Bloomingdales in the cosmetics department. The vendor that they hire you for provides free training. Macy's is usually where most people start, as they don't require as much experience as Nordstrom or Bloomies.
