Make-up Artist

This profession is all about beauty and colours.

What does a Make-up Artist do?

Makeup artists are beauty practitioners who offer general makeup services or work in prosthetic design. As a make-up artist, the skin is your canvas. You can highlight a person's assets, hide blemishes or transform one person into another. Everything according to the clients' wishes. You should have a feeling for colours, shapes and aesthetics in order to achieve the desired effects and create a harmonious overall picture. With a strong sense of empathy and an eye for detail, you will quickly recognise how to give your customers a type-appropriate appearance and treat different skin types.

As a make-up artist, you can work for cosmetics companies, for example in drugstores or department stores with cosmetics departments. Jobs in film, television or magazines are also possible. Fashion companies also hire make-up artists for Fashion Week or other events. Another possibility is to have your own small business and have private clients.  

What is important?

• Creativity and sense of aesthetics
• Knowledge of trends
• Customer orientation (e.g. when responding to customer wishes)
• Resistance to stress
• Knowledge of products
