Although I am self-taught in makeup, I often get questions about different makeup training.<\/p>\n

I really have no idea who is good and who is not, but I still have experience of sitting and googling other types of education, and know how the industry works, so I can still come up with some tips!<\/p>\n

My tips:<\/strong>
\n*<\/strong> Google is your best friend<\/strong>. Check not only the schools' website, but google the course and various keywords such as "students" and the like, and you will probably find blogs that have written what they think about the course and also info about how things have gone for the students afterwards.<\/p>\n

* Get in touch<\/strong> to old students you find on google \/ blogs, and ask any questions and ask them to tell a little in general about their opinion about the school.<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> Dare!<\/strong> You may not feel that the school closest to your home feels good for 100%, do not choose it then. Search for sublets or people looking for residents for a period, and move to where your favorite school is located! It certainly feels messy at first, but once you have completed the training you want and gained lots of new friends and contacts in other places, then you will not regret it!<\/p>\n

*<\/strong> Contacts are very important<\/strong>, so choose a school with experienced teachers and preferably a lot of guest lecturers and internships! As a makeup artist, you do not get a job served on a silver platter, you must be prepared to chase a job in the beginning! Feel free to get in touch with new photographers and stylists at the same time as you attend the training as well, you can easily work out a win-win situation where you fix a shoot where no one gets paid, but everyone gets nice pictures for their portfolio - then when someone in the group gets a paid job so maybe he can fix the others on that job too! Help others, and you will get help back :)<\/p>\n

My Makeup Artist Tips:<\/strong>
\nI also found a checklist on minmakeupartist.se<\/a> (a superb website for makeup artists who are both going to train, and who have trained and are looking for jobs and assignments!) and<\/em> here are their tips:<\/p>\n

- What is the actual price?<\/b>\u00a0Turn on the number of hours and you will get a better picture. Do not forget to count on the registration fee which is often high.
\n- Are products included?<\/b>\u00a0Some educations include products for tens of thousands of kronor. It can be costly if you have to buy on site yourself.
\n- What does the education contain?<\/b>\u00a0It can be a bonus if you also gain knowledge in hair styling and mask \/ theater
\n- Is portfolio included?<\/b>\u00a0A big plus when you come out as a newly graduated artist is to have some reference pictures ready.
\n- Does the school offer internships?<\/b>\u00a0This is an important part of the education. Schools that mediate good internships and partners can give you an invaluable network of contacts for future jobs and an opportunity to learn from the best.<\/p>\n

Hope the post was helpful for someone who is hungry for the profession! :)<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
