Career - Make-up Artist

I need assistance to choose
Make-up Artists will prepare the skin for make-up application and remove make-up as required and demonstrate cosmetic products to clients. They will instruct clients about make-up application and apply a wide variety of professional make-up products. They will design wigs, beards, masks and prosthetics (artificial body parts) and apply them to achieve an appropriate character appearance. They will use make-up to produce effects such as ageing, illness, scars and bruising and alter or maintain make-up during productions to ensure the continuity of a performer's appearance. They will advise hairdressers on the hairstyle required for character parts.
