If you've done beauty therapy NVQ, you should have covered basic makeup including, Day, Evening, false lashes and special occasion makeup.


See if you're college or any college's near you have a makeup diploma course. That's how i got into the industry.


As i don't know where you live, But i trained at Milton Keynes college, and there are many more colleges around the UK that do an introduction one or two year course that covers everything from Day makeup, evening, photographic, body painting, special Fx, catwalk makeup, avant guard makeup, wig work, basic hair dressing and basic beauty therapy. That can then go on to go to Universities like Southampton and London College of Fashion (and many more of course) or you can go into full time work with a makeup company and work up through the company like that, or you can become free lance.


Research into it and see if you can get on any courses. You'll learn so much and it's a really fun and rewarding experience.


I wish you the best of luck,


Its a great industry to be in.

I don't know about the UK, but I KNOW a few things about MAC cosmetics because it is my third year of working for it.





I didn't go to cosmetology school, I was just talented at doing my own make-up. I would start applying to a department store, where there is a particular make-up counter that you like.





But really, its practice, practice, practice. I learned most of what I know at the counter. Cosmo school works for if you want to become a freelancer and need a certificate or if you become an Eustachian.
Cosmo school. You also have to be very talented and be able to apply makeup to other people, and to apply to various eye/face shapes, tones, etc. And you have to consider that a job like that could require a lot of hours. OR that you might not even get a job in the field.


Only go for something like this if it's a passion, meaning that you can't even see yourself doing anything else.
Go to a cosmetology school. Apply for jobs at makeup salons and stuff. One school in England:
