Let’s Do It: First Steps To Become A Makeup Artist

Many girls still in their teens discover secrets of makeup and learn to create unique images on their face with the help of cosmetics. Sometimes such a passion turns into a makeup artist profession, which is inextricably linked with dreams of becoming world-famous, working with celebrities, preparing models for shows, and receiving delighted comments and thanks from clients.

So where to start?

Here are the most critical steps that everyone will have to take on the way to their long-awaited dream:

1. Desire it

2. Believe in yourself

3. Be clear with what do you want

4. Practice. Like a lot

Craving can do a lot!

Decide for yourself that in the development of the profession, you will go to the end and do not drift in the face of difficulties.

Be honest with yourself and assess your capabilities.

Are you ready to invest in the development of this profession? Are you prepared for the fact that finding customers takes a lot of time? Are you ready to learn all the time?

To become a true makeup master, you need to believe in your abilities.

If there is any uncertainty in your skills, then there is a risk that you will eventually give up this creative business. To become a real MakeUp pro, you need to have a delicate sense of taste, skills in working with clients, an individual creative potential;

Be clear about what level of skill you want to master.

If you are trying to learn how to do neat makeup, then all you need to do is watch thematic video tutorials, basic courses are freely available. But if you want to make it big, then you have to attend professional makeup academy.

At Nina MUA, we issue a special certificate confirming the completion of training. We teach students to become successful and experienced makeup artists. Our academy provides several courses, such as the 4-Week Program for beginners to introduce you to the basics. Then there is also Advanced 2-Week Program if you want to go more into the fashion and creative side of the profession.

Never lose a chance to practice

If the number of your clients is still minimal, then you should practice on the invited models. You can search for them on social media.

Do not forget to place your information on the web, as well as upload your work on your blog or Instagram.

Also, you can choose your friends to hone your skills, photograph the result, then analyze your mistakes.

Sanitation Class and Certificate

EXCLUSIVE TO THE MAKEUP ACADEMY STUDENTS

Sanitation Standards online training teaches sanitation at a health-grade level. A health grade level means we mirror protocols that hospitals use to prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and blood-borne pathogens. This training supersedes any state mandates or cosmetology licensing. Unlike most sanitation programs or protocols, the training was created in partnership with a microbiologist. Microbiologists study microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and some types of parasites. They try to understand how these organisms live, grow, and interact with their environments. The training was designed for all learning styles, with interactions and videos as content delivery compositions.

INCLUDES:

  • ONLINE TRAINING
  • BEAUTY, SPECIAL FX & THEATER MAKEUP PROTOCOLS
  • CERTIFICATION*
  • PRESTIGE PIN*
  • ADDED TO THE SANITATION SPECIALIST DATABASE
  • DIGITAL BADGE*

 

*Digital Certification Badge—After successfully completing the training and the course feedback, your customized digital badge will be available once you exit the training.

*Certificate of Completion and Prestige Pin – Upon successful completion of the training, you will receive a Certificate of Completion and Prestige Pin.
