I think the classes may do the job but I think that you will have a better chance of getting somewhere if you go to cosmotology school first.Do you need to go to cosmetology school before taking clasess to be a certified make-up artist? (in CA)?
no, not at all...in cosmetology courses you dont get much makeup, you are only required to complete abour 10 hrs of makeup...its not as detailed. One of my friends went to make up school first, then she decided to take cosmetology. :) it's up to you. =]
