But here's another great thing about makeup counters: you don't have to do any of the business stuff that you'll have to do as a professional makeup artist, such as finding clients, scheduling meetings, etc. You just sit there, and people come to you.
This type of makeup artistry is very creative, and the artist learns to concoct a character's appearance as part of the director's vision. You can learn this art on the job, and you can also take classes at colleges with theatrical programs. day in the life of the makeup artist is tough to pin down, because every day can be totally different for this dynamic and constantly changing profession! One day you may be doing makeup backstage at a runway fashion show, and the next day you could be doing makeup for a bride and her bridal, party.
