The life of a make up artist is varied and exciting – and challenging at times! One thing you can be sure of: it’s never a boring job!
Is your career making you bald? Here what you should know. Make up artist are experts at giving people a desired look through the use of makeup, wigs, and other tools of trade. Many makeup artists work in a theatre or performance environment. Others apply makeup for television and film. Cosmetics companies also employ makeup artists as consultants. Best part of all, they are often hired for one-time events like fashion shows or weddings. The job of show business makeup artists is to apply makeup to performers according to the specific needs of the person or show.  In other situations, the job involves simply hiding blemishes and making the performer look as beautiful as possible under stage lights. Makeup artists who work in this type of setting must be knowledgeable about the effects of stage lighting on a person's appearance. These artists must also be good at analyzing a script to make sure the characters end up looking the way they are described. All of these decisions must be made in collaboration with directors and costume designers.

In the consumer market, a makeup artist must understand colour and skin tone in order to match each customer with the right makeup. Makeup artists rarely regret choosing this creative, challenging and often well-paid job. Whether you work in film or fashion, you may have the opportunity to work alongside highly skilled and often famous people (how cool is that?) You may also travel internationally and enjoy a high degree of control where and when you work. As a makeup artist you will have the satisfaction of making your vision a reality, and you will be appreciated for your contributions.

Making people feel good about them is one of the most rewarding aspects of the makeup artist's job.
