Licensed Make Up Artist Question
IndigoKel
Cosmetology school- I work full time and am only interested in make-up, not
hair or nails. If everyone who works at make-up counters in the mall is
licensed, it can't be that difficult! I can't get any straight answers from the
Board of Cosmetology. Can I just take a class part time for make-up only? I
know I can not apprentice this trade (in MD). Please respond if you have any
ideas.

school near you should be able to answer your questions. You will most likely
need to be licensed which requires some education so you can pass the stae
boards to become "licensed".

I doubt many people at mall make-up counters are licensed in any way.
The best way to find out how to be one is to walk up to one and ask.

You will find very very few licensed makeup
salespeople or artists at the counters. Perhaps
that is because they only began licensing
for skin care and makeup a few years ago in most
States.

artistry in the U.S., or elsewhere on this planet.
Anybody can perform make up and make living as a make up artist without any
licenses.
Movie and theater industry may have make up artist's union or association that
one has to belong in order to get a job.
Cosmetology (hair styling) , esthetics (skin care) , and nail artistry have
licensing system in many states. Cosmetologist can perform skin care and nail
artistry, but esthetician cannot perform hair and nail services (but often,
estheticians do nails in actual work environment.)
Cosmetology and esthetic schools teach how to do professional make up services,
but only about 100 hours or so.

This is both true and not true. There is a union for makeup artists working in
TV/Film but you can still get work without belonging to the union, just not on
big jobs.

Actually in the Ohio law under skin care, the
makeup artistry question is certainly subject
to interpretation. It is my guess that down-the-
road such licensing will occur. Heavens only
knows, however, how they would enforce it.

makeup artist and licensing issue, written by Jeff?
Esthetic license covers make up artistry in NY. Make up knowledge and skills
are examined on licensing exam. Both written and practical.
Sample questions to study for state board exam on makeup:
The width of the ideal oval face measures approximately:
a)one-half the length of the face
b)three-fourths the length of the face
c)the length of th face
d)three-eigths the length of the face
Answer: b
An astringent lotion is applied after tweezing the eyebrows in order to:
a)relax the skin
b)expand the skin
c)contract the skin
d)stimulate the skin
Answer: c
Cheekcolors should not be applied closer to the nose than the center of the:
a)chin
b)eye
c)forehead
d)lips
Answer:b
Some esthetic schools offer intensive classes on corrective makeup: the field
paramedical estheticians are more interested in than glamourous, fashionable
makeup.
Besides, there is no official paramedical esthetics lincense in the states.
Certifcates are available from each individual schools.

States are different. Some do require a cosmetician's license to work
behind a counter. You need to check with your state.

Motion Picture and television do have unions NABET and IA. These are
easy to get into and require years of experience. (eg. You can not
join unless you have worked in productions, you can not work in
productions unless you are in the union. (but there are
apprenticeships) But, if you do not have time for school, you will
not have time for this.

:estheticians do nails in actual work environment.)
A full cosmetology license allows someone to do it all. Those that do
esthetics and nails had better have one of each license or the full
cosmetology (hair) license.
:
:Cosmetology and esthetic schools teach how to do professional make up services,
:but only about 100 hours or so.
:
Hours can range form 100 - 1500 hours...depending on the state.
Most states who require a min of 100 hour course...only do so to teach
hygiene in an effort to protect the public. Very little is taught as
far as technique. Those schools which do teach, what I would
consider, professional makeup (eg. Blasco, Westmore schools) can be
anywhere from 3000 hours to 5000 for theatrical makeup and 500 - 1500
for commercial makeup.
However, if you want to try your hand and have just a nack for
applying makeup, you may try contacting department store cosmetic
companies as a contract artist. Most companies hire contractors for
promotions. But, this is a highly competitive field and you will have
to sell yourself and your ability to the company.
Hope this helps.

Great! You are still watching this board!
I wonder which state require cosmetology (cosmetician) licence to work behind
the counter ?
I'd like to know which state does not have established esthetic licensing also.
One more thing: how is CIDESCO membership evaluated in the U.S. ?
I need your expertise. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, just one more thing: Don't you or AAEA have web site?
It was almost three years ago you sent me an AAEA brochure: the one I got did
not list web address. Any advancement?
Thanks again.

magazine for freelance hair makeup & fashion stylists" that very issue was
addressed. The writer "Jonathan Wright" was approached at a photo shoot by a
man who identified himself as a State Board of Cosmetology site inspector and
actually fined him $500.00 causing him to go and get his cosmetology license.
If you sign the guest book at the site (www.setthepacepubgroup.com), you'll
