This can be exciting, high-skills work with unusual hours, and it allows you to use your skills in an intensified form.

To get a job if SFX makeup, you need to prove your skills with a strong portfolio. You will likely work on a freelance basis if you pursue this career path, and you will probably begin in smaller venues, such as local theatre and hair competitions, before dreaming of Hollywood. Follow your passion, network, and build your clientele.

Makeup Product Developer

For those makeup artists with real vision, there’s Research and Development. If you’re a self-starter, consider launching your own makeup line, or find a position in an R & D department. There you will help bring new products to market, working with chemists on one end and marketers on the other. Ideal candidates for this position are creative and analytical, so you can use all of your strengths in one job.
