woah! so it wasn't only me? the C & NC line from MAC is so farking yellow
i can't deal. she picked out NC35 for me, which I can't even wear now w/o
looking like Britney Spears since my summer tan has faded so much.It makes
me a nice goldeny tan. Its so pigmented! I should have just siad "no, i
want NC30", but i was shy :( I really think MACs C & NC line works best
for Asians and Blacks, with strong color undertones, and not people who
are stuck somewhere inbetween various ethnicities.

You have to be a working make-up artist. When i was in MUFE, there was
this chick asking how to get a MUFE discount card, and she said MAC wanted
"call lists" or something, that proved that she was working, but also just
accpeted looking at her portfoilio. FYI, MUFE, at least in NYC, requires
that you have print work (not photos) of what you've done... preferably w/
yer name on it.. but there was this fiasco when I was in there one day.
This chick came in w/ her book, and had ads in that she had not done....
and then like 10 min, the REAL chick came in... tsk tsk.

Well, first you become a professional makeup artist. Then you bring your
IATSE card or payslips from your job to an MAC store, not a counter. Then
they give you one.

I had the opposite problem, I got the w10 (again, with a pushy salesgirl,
and i was too tired and shy to contradict her)[1]. It was way too pink for
my skin, and left me with the odd look of a pinkish face and an olive
undertoned neck. eeeiigh. Apparently the MAC counters arent even carrying
the w10 anymore, anyway. So I am giving to a pinkskinned friend, and I got
the lightest Anna Sui powder foundation, which I enjoy muchly.

costumers, actors, directors, lighting, sound (which is what i'm assuming
you mean) and set designers.

Geez, that's REALLY pathetic (the auction, not the desire to have the
product). Its obvious to me that whoever is auctioning this product
received it as gratis (meaning, totally free.....) and now they're turning
around and selling for nothing but profit. Either that, or the originally
recipient of the gratis has already sold it to the person currently
auctioning it.
Hmmm, wonder how pissed of the M.A.C. employee who's started this (eBay
auction) would be when M.A.C. found out and canned them.

Hrmmm, then maybe they are one and the same? I had assumed that the IATSE
originalyl referred to (heheh, IATSE-1 hereinafter) some sort makeup artists
union only, not a theatre union. And my BF had explained to me that IATSE
(his IATSE, so IATSE-2 hereinafter) was for A/V people, but considering that
a great deal of A/V techs work in the theatre industry, it wouldn't surprise
me if IATSE-1 and IATSE-2 were one and the same...

IATSE--definitely union. Part of the teamsters, in fact. Doesn't include
actors, who are covered by SAG & AFTRA, but does include the others ratty
mentioned.

>Well, first you become a professional makeup artist.
Erm, how exactly does one go about doing that?
I've tried to find information on this online, but so far I've had no
luck. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places. If so, I'm very sorry
for wasting everyone's time. :(
I've seen beauty schools offering both certificates and Associate
degrees in makeup art, and it's rather confusing...
Can I get a good job with just the certificate, or should I get the
degree, too?
I'm looking into makeup because I enjoy it immensely, and it's
something that will pay the bills (I hope!) while I save up for
studying interesting-but-useless things in college, so I don't really
want to spend time and money on a degree in makeup art when I can get
a decent job without one.
On the other hand, getting such a degree could be really interesting.
I just don't know if I can afford to spend a great deal of money on
something that might not make much difference as to the quality of job
I can get.
Thanks for any help you might feel like providing.

Don't bother -- there's no "degree" for being a makeup artist. In my
experience school is a waste of money until you know enough to know
what your strengths and weaknesses are, and exactly what the things
you need to know are, and whether a given school can provide those
things -- there are a lot of schools that falsely promise the moon and
starts.
You should have some sort of license, depending on what state you live
in -- I live in MA and I have a Cosmetologist's license. This
involves 1000 hours of training and passing the State Board exam (a
ridiculous, outdated, long, expensive test, but it's the only way to
get a license). You can also go to school for Esthetics, either 300
or 600 hours. Neither of these courses will teach you much of
anything about makeup, however.
Try the Worldwide Alliance of Makeup Artists, or Set the Pace
Publishing Group. Both of these sites have job listings, message
boards, links and resources. To start working as a makeup artist,
first decide what kind of makeup you want to do -- print, theatre,
production, special fx -- then look for someone to apprentice with.
Offer your services to your local theater. Look for photographers and
models to do test shoots with.
Whatever way you go, unless you work at a counter, you'll have to do a
lot of work for free, just to get experience and a reel/portfolio.
But if you really love it it doesn't feel like work. Give it a go and
see how you like it, because if you like it it's the best job in the
whole world!

I went to a liberal arts school and got a degree in theatre-- it just so
happens that my professor of makeup works for the SF Ballet and SF Opera
and needed lackeys to help him out.
I actually didn't persue it because there isn't a lot of money in it until
you're uber super ninja have done it for years --
one of my co-students now works for ACT theatre here in SF, and barely
scrapes by rent in oakland. I bailed and now am a scary web geek.
For print work, I have no idea! I am useless!

Yeah, I do some theatre work -- it's my favorite, but unfortunately
the pay is shit. A shame, because I'd do much more theatre work if I
could afford to.

i agree with the others, skip the certificate. _I_ used to teach make-up
artistry for a major salon academy and _I_ don't have a certificate (nor a
license, for that matter...)

Well, depending on what kind of work you do, the money SERIOUSLY varies.
::snip::
> Thanks for any help you might feel like providing.
Ask yourself, what KIND of make-up artistry do you want to do? Salon?
Print? Photo? Fashion? Theatre? Film? Etc??? Because, qualifications
and experience vary greatly from one to another.
i started out as a photographer's apprentice, who taught me the basics of
lighting, etc... Then did VERY basic free-lance work (photography and
special occation) for mostly friends and such. Then i got a "real" job
while working my through college and mostly quit make-up work until i was
asked to do it again. At the time, i was a salon coordinator for an
international salon chain. The make-up artist just up and left, so i was
ask to fill in. Did that for three years while also teaching at their
academy, and doing various runway and stage productions and photography
work. When i moved to CA, my salon chain wasn't in the area, so i applied
for and got work as an artist for M.A.C. i still free-lance in my spare
time. In total, i've been doing make-up for roughly eight years, but i've
limited myself to mostly 'fashion'-type make-up. i am by NO means qualified
to do prosthetics, wigs or other "special effects". (Though, i'm AM
learning....)
Find out what your state/government requirements on make-up artistry are.
In both of the states that i've worked in, no degrees are "required", unless
you're planning on doing certain proceedures (i.e. tweezing, facials,
etc...).
Hope that helps!
Also, you may find some useful info on makeupmag.com (make-up artist
magazine's web site...)

Okay, thanks. :>
Since you mentioned working for M.A.C. in CA, I think I should be fine
without a degree, since that's a goal of mine. (I *heart* M.A.C., and
my boi is going to drag me along when he moves to CA.)
