For private make-up lessons is not hard to get into. Ever heard of Mary Kay cosmetics. They train you through their skills booklets for their beauty consultants. The cost is very minimal and you get the training needed. You'll go right into giving make-up classes along with selling her products until you can break out on your own. When you said make-up artist


my first thought was like that in the entertainment field where


they are so highly skilled that I think one would have to go to


not just a beauty school but some sort of painters class, focusing on highlighting and tone-downs and the like. Wow,


that has got to be a really good paying job, I'd like to do something like that. Like using make-up to transform a face like a lion or something, just using make-up.
Well I don't know if your qualifications are the same as ours in the US but makeup artist don't require any specific training. You can attend a makeup academy but most makeup artists I know are freelance artists.
Go to a beauty school. This way you can get professional skills and you will get a lot more business. You will also be able to charge more because you have education in beauty.
