become a makeup artist

i think this is what i want to do with my life, i’ve been researching online, trying to find courses etc. just reading this blog post now http://www.top-colleges.com/blog/2009/07/20/calling-all-make-up-enthusiasts/

i think id be really happy doing this as a career.

Going through makeup courses arent fun, but when you are done, you are so proud of youself! It feels amazing! I got to do my first photoshoot yesterday! It went by so fast! It went terrific! I suggest you just go toward your goal of becoming a makeup artist, and you will succeed! Good luck, and remember,
Confidence in yourself will help you succeed!

This only recently became very appealing to me as a career. I never really enjoyed it too much, the only make-up i’d wear would be eye-liner and lip-balm. But slowly slowly i started to find it more interesting and bought different eye shadows and products, and met a friend who put on a face-full of make-up everyday, and still looked natural. Now i practically do the same, and i imagine myself being a make-up artist. and it seems to be a fun job, stressful at times i’m sure, and til i get started it will be v difficult, but still a fun job i think. I start a 12 session coursse in a week. the certificates given at the end will make me a qualified make-up artist. yay :)

Just enrolled in the Makeup Institute! School starts March 1st.

My makeup Course finished last night.
I get sent my certificate in a few weeks and just have to hand in 1 more assignment that i have basically finished anyway.
My photoshoot went amazing and the next few months i am going to experiment with makeup as much as i can and take as many pictures as possible and gain lots of shots for my portfolio.
When i feel ready i will enroll in a special effects /drag makeup course.
See you all when im famous ;]

1- get food , organise stuff in diary
1.15- practise for photoshoot
1.45 -finish rest of shit in foler
3- clean up kit , have shower.

Only 2 WEEKS LEFT OF MY COURSE!

Although i dont think this is my purpose in life or whatever , i have become soo much better at makeup than i was too begin with! yay!
I will post piks of my final photoshoot soon

not too sure what i will do with my qualification..

i think i will just work on collecting photos and building up my portfolio for now and just experiment for a bit.

i just want to be great at it like a professional, but not necessarily as a full time job. i think i will achieve this goal pretty good! i have the passion and the talent.
i post my work here, if you want to check it out!
