Make-up Artist Career Opportunities

Home » Courses in Professional & Business Services
Make-up artists prepare hair and make-up for performers and models who appear in front of an audience - whether it be live or in front of a camera. This could be for film and television, theatre, music concerts and photographic shoots.

Make-up artists can work alone, as an assistant to a more senior colleague or as part of a make-up design team. The work can include:

· designing make-up and hairstyles for a particular production
· following detailed designs or working with a rough outline
· applying corrective make-up
· hair styling
· fitting hairpieces and prosthetics
· keeping notes and photographs to maintain continuity
· standing by on set to re-do make-up and hair

Make-up artists work closely with production designers, costume designers, camera and lighting crew and performers.

This is to say how much I enjoyed the course. I feel I’m missing something now I’ve completed it! — J.A.
