What are the skills that you need?
Learn practical skills
Are you someone who struggles to learn by staring at textbooks and sitting through lectures? A Screen & Media course is primarily a hands-on, practical course.
No more falling asleep while you try to learn, this course will have you up and practising your skills from day one. Get ready for every day to be productive and an opportunity to perfect your skills and techniques.
Industry tips and tricks
When you are starting out, there is nothing more valuable than learning from an expert in the field! The only way to stay current is to make sure you are learning from people who are currently in the industry.
They can show you all types of tips and tricks to make your job easier and to ensure that what you are learning is relevant. The more people you work with, the more techniques and methods you will learn. It never hurts to know a few different ways to do something!
Patience and Practice
To become a great artist, practice, practice and practice some more. The only way you are going to nail that winged liner, cut crease or bold red lip is to practice them over and over again.
And not just on one person but as many different people as you can get your hands on! This is where patience comes into play as sometimes practising a task can seem tedious. But like anything worthwhile in life, it takes time and effort, and I can assure you that it is all worth it!
Push the boundaries
Working in a creative industry, you have to always keep pushing the boundaries of what has been done before. Jump out of your comfort zone and try something new! You might just start a new trend!
What are some of the perks?
Be your own Boss
If being your own boss is something that piques your interest then becoming a makeup artist is the perfect job for you!
It feels so empowering to be able to write your own rules and create a working environment that is tailored just for you! While it is hard work and you have to be motivated and driven, the payoff of being able to work however you want is absolutely worth it.
Flexible hours
Flexible hours are a definite perk of the job! Working only the hours you want and need does wonder for work/life balance and can suit everyone’s needs! If you have been looking for a job to suit your lifestyle that is still challenging, fun and flexible then this is the job for you!
Creative
Are you a creative person, but feel like you don’t get the chance to express that side of you in your current job? As a hair and makeup artist, you can explore that creativity every day! The sky’s the limit when it comes to being creative as a human.
Whether you find yourself doing bridal glam, fashion runways, special effects or makeup for Film and TV you get to be creative every day in new and exciting ways! The beauty of being a part of the beauty industry is that no two faces are the same, and you get to make people feel great every day!
Every day is different
Do you hate being stuck in an office? Feel trapped sitting in front of a computer all day? Work doesn’t have to be like that! The life of a freelance makeup artist is different every day!
You will get to meet new people, collaborate on projects, be in a different location each week and experience a diversity that you just can’t get from an office job!
Multiple industry opportunities
A career as a hair and makeup artist presents endless opportunities for you. There are so many areas you can work in. You might find that bridal and event makeup is your jam and you love being a part of someone’s special day.
Or perhaps you want to be part of the glitz and glam of editorial shoots and fashion runways. Maybe you dream of being part of the team that brings Film and TV together? No matter what kind of makeup is your passion, there is a job out there waiting for you!
