As I worked in the cosmetic industry, I have had the opportunity to work with artists make-up makeup schools and professional makeup companies; living in Hollywood, California over the past decade has increased my exposure to these companies. All this time I also had the opportunity to learn how to apply makeup that I was creating and even learn some of the fun aspects of makeup artistry, including working with LaTeX and silicone FX makeup. I was lucky that all additional knowledge that I gained was that I did with this company. Many students I met had not been so lucky that they've had to pay full price (sometimes more than $ 30000) same knowledge. At the end of their studies, they typically can venture out and apply their new commercial free, maybe if they are lucky, you may receive a fee per set (usually around $ 45) per day. I've heard the term "paid their dues" is applicable to this years course, having said that, had the same charging 30 thousand dollars. I for one have always felt like a new makeup artist takes advantage of possibly it has more to do with my inner capitalist shout at the thought of a person who gave of their time. The old adage, "Why buy the cow when you can get free milk" comes to mind: when you start on the path to your service or product giving away for free, it's incredibly hard to never break this cycle. Although it may take a little longer for you to be a makeup artist, when you pay for your writing skills, I believe that when we receive payment for our work, we have launched our head slightly above and have more pride in our work for many benefits end from our customers.
That being said, I want to share with you some of the things that I learned that can help you save a lot of money if your interested in learning more about makeup artistry.
A while ago, I listened to the interview with Denis Leary has to become a filmmaker, his advice was, if you want to be a filmmaker, take the money you'll spend at film school, go out, buy a camera and make your movie. "Similar recommendations may be provided for makeup artistry.
Featuring movies ever-changing and all the necessary skills needed to shadow plays and makeup expert artist seemingly overwhelming to launch your dreams makeup without having to spend thousands of dollars in the instructions. However, if you are new to professional makeup artistry is perhaps one of the best books on the market of self-study should be Richard Corson "cosmetics" workspace.
This book contains a lot of technical knowledge of how to manipulate light and color in order to achieve the effect. These lessons can be applied not only to the stage and the effects of make-up, but also to all applications, makeup. You'll also find that the lessons, Richard Corson, a lot of the same lessons taught in the school of makeup for thousands of dollars.
Having access to knowledge, this is only part of the equation for a makeup artist.Other, potentially more expensive part builds your makeup Kit.Makeup Artist very quickly can spend thousands of dollars to build their package, and if you consider that most cosmetics have a maximum validity period of 3 years (many are even shorter shelf life and natural makeup has as little as 90-day expiration date last opened) is very easy to spend lots of money on makeup in a short period of time.When you look at just the base make UPS (Foundation & adjustments (neutralizers, shaders and outlines)) it is not out of the realm of possibility that you will buy up to 25 to 30 different shades of makeup, the need to have in mix for lighter skinned and ethnic make-up makeup artists, even if it would normally custom blend make-up, consolidating many shades, they are in their suite, they would still need to buy a lot of nuances to be able to create many different types of skin tones, they may encounter in the set.Bearing in mind that many professional Foundation brands can cost upwards of $ 15 to $ 20 per ounce, makeup, you can very quickly to spend up to $ 600 just. If you feel frustration out makeup and other unsupported cosmetics, the benefit of being able to make your own make-up becomes obvious. Could truly custom make-up professional makeup artists to until there is a need for a variety of colors by mixing custom colors, you have the ability to lower core materials and spend considerably less money to achieve the same if not better end results, while you could spend more than $ 600 for individual make-up 25-30 by purchasing a set of custom overlays such as Ultra Matrix 3000 user base package Jove cosmetics, you could spend as much as $ 30 for their Starter Kit that will allow you to mix up to about 2 ounces Foundation and/or corrective measures.The basics of replenishment by Jove, costing as little as $ 10.50 per ounce in the discount program, as an aspiring and professional makeup artists such substantial savings in their makeup kits, as well as the need for significantly less.
As companies like to Jove cosmetics to continue to expand their custom blending suites include blush, eye shadow, lip color to any color in the Rainbow would be achievable by all who can see colors.
With free Internet access, as it is, there is a wealth of knowledge and access networks (via Facebook, Twitter and MySpace) available today that anyone who wants to be a professional makeup artist can do so from virtually anywhere in the world and you shouldn't feel like you have to visit Hollywood and New York and spend tens of thousands of dollars to get your start.
