Pursing a career in makeup artistry might be the path for you. There are so many career paths inside the beauty industry. Speaking from experience you can not go wrong with any. The beauty industry is a billion dollar industry, finding your way is not as hard as you may think. I will guide you through a few steps to help get started in the industry.
Making the decision to jump into a new field can be difficult. I recommend to research the field to determine if you are fully interest in moving forward. Once you decide, do not put it off for another 5 years. The time to start is now. A lot of people get hung up on the idea that “the market is to saturated, to many bloggers or influencers already exist.” The beauty industry will always be around and there is room for everyone to succeed.
To help make the decision easier, I have listed some basic skills needed outside of artistry skills to succeed as a makeup artist:
- Creativity
- Time management skills
- Attention to detail skills
- Flexibility
- Good communication skills
- Teamwork skills
Most employers look for these basic skills, when hiring a makeup artist. The opportunities are endless, you can work for yourself, work for a retailer, salon, work with a team or spa to help build a clientele.
