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.
One thing the BLS cannot accurately account for, though, is tips and gratuities earned, so the lowest makeup artist salary on their scale may not be accurate. The median salary for makeup artists is $60,830 before tips â one of the highest of any of the beauty professions on this site (BLS, 2015). The top paying states for makeup occupations are New York, California, Georgia, Nevada, and Texas.
