everyone wants to do that…so you won’t start out as a makeup artist for models in new york.
Try starting out smaller. Go to a makeup stand, like MAC or Dior and ask how you would go about applying for their job.
I was at the MAC stand getting a makeover and was talking to the artist, I mentioned, “you’ve got the coolest job ever. I’d love to work here”…she replied, “you’d think. The novelty factor wears off pretty quick and you stop enjoying it after a while”. MAC has classes that you take with them…
Once you’ve worked for a reputable company you can move up if you have skill, then your dream might come true.
