Imagine having a fun, high-paying job that lets you use your creativity to make people look good. Welcome to the world of makeup artistry! There are few jobs that offer so many benefits. As a makeup artist you will have the satisfaction of making your vision a reality. A makeup artist is intimately involved in the most important and exciting events of people's lives, from weddings to the Academy Awards. Makeup artists get to work with celebrities such as models, actors, politicians, and musicians. As a makeup artist you will have a rewarding job with flexible hours. If you start your own business as a freelance makeup artist you will enjoy the freedom of being your own boss. Top makeup artists get paid hundreds or thousands of dollars a day for their services. Plus you may get invitations to parties, admission to exclusive restaurants and clubs, or introductions to other celebrities you admire. As long as you have the desire, you can become a professional makeup artist. You don't need years of specialized training, or any particular certification to start out as a makeup artist. Unlike becoming a cosmetologist or esthetician which have strict requirements (such as hours worked, type of training, and a written test), in most jurisdictions you can become a makeup artist immediately. If being a makeup artist sounds like the career of your dreams, the FabJob Guide to Become a Makeup Artist is for you! In this book you will discover how you can get started and succeed in a career as professional makeup artist. This guide offers insider tips and expert career advice from successful professional makeup artists who have worked for numerous celebrities and done makeup for album covers, commercials, hit films, national magazines, music videos, and television. It covers topics of vital importance to anyone who wants to learn how to apply makeup and get hired as a makeup artist.

This review is from: FabJob Guide to Become a Makeup Artist (FabJob Guides) (Paperback)
This is a great book for everyone from your neighborhood Mary Kay/Avon lady to the girl at the MAC counter to a runway worker in Milan. All the nuts and bolts of the BUSINESS are here--not just beauty tips. How to bill, create a portfolio, network to have faces to work on, do wedding groups, work on a movie set and even which and how to join the union. This book gave me a lot of necessary information I couldn't find any place else and helped improve my confidence. Great work!

Good resource to get your career in makeup started. Not so much for application itself, but more for the business side of professional makeup. Lots of useful info of setting up your business, creating your portfolio, what to look for in a school. etc.

This review is from: FabJob Guide to Become a Makeup Artist (FabJob Guides) (Paperback)
I found this book to be very helpful. It's not really for the makeup application aspect of the industry although it does give a few pointers, but more so for the business end. How to market oneself as an MUA, how to get a job in various markets etc. I think this is book is excellent for that because not too many authors think about that portion of it which is also very important. The book mentions different schools one can attend to get training, most of which I already knew by reputation so the book is up to date. The cd that comes with it is very helpful too as it gives outlines and templates for invoices lists, pretty much the basics of everything an MUA would need from wedding jobs to film jobs. Buy this book, trust me you'll need it!
