Beauty School Makeup Artists vs. Professional Freelance Makeup Artists:
Most people are misled into thinking that in going to beauty school; they will learn to become a professional makeup artist. While beauty schools do teach the necessary beauty makeup skills for specific state requirements (under a Cosmetology or Esthiology license), these skills are for use in the salon environment, and are not the same possessed by a production or multi-media makeup artist.
Professional makeup artists working in production have careers in film, HDTV, print, runway, bridal, fashion, and video. It is imperative to note that they are NOT required to have a Cosmetology or Esthiology license. Anyone can work as a freelance makeup artist!
