Hi everyone, I'm just starting out in makeup and it's very difficult to get information on courses, what courses are good, which courses are not good, what people recommend.

I have asked makeup artists on facebook which courses are good, they all say 'oh I don't know'
I have asked makeup artists where to buy stuff in California or Nevada and they all tell me 'Sephora' which is direct to public so that's not correct..

Looking for wholesalers and course information please! Any help appreciated.

Movie / Television production has a generous pay scale for makeup artists - especially if they can handle special effects work

That school is right in vegas they are always having workshops.

As for wholesale prices if you are a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist most make-up lines offer pro discounts. If you are willing to travel or heck purchase online. Morphe has amazing brushes and some really decent quality make-up. It also depends how much you are willing to put into your professional make-up kit.

I think the best way to choose makeup course is depends on your makeup specialisation. If you already knew where is your specialisation are (bridal,editorial,sfx,etc) then it's easier to choose the course. Search also for the review of the graduates or people who already been joined the course. Before I joined makeup course I searched a lot the best makeup course in London and also I searched the review or blog of the makeup course.

I work recommend getting your cosmetology or estheticians license. It carries much more value as far as credentials are concerned.

my favorite pro cosmetic source is Naimees. with their pro discount you are able to shop a variety of quality pro brands and affordable prices
