Cosmetology

Dear aspirant, Since makeup artistry is not a licensed profession, states don't mandate course offerings from makeup artist programs meaning that the curriculum varies widely between schools. Some schools offer full-time classes that cover all the bases, while others allow you to pick and choose courses that focus on particular industries or skills. These programs also vary widely in cost, with full-time schools being the most expensive. Typically, makeup training programs run 300-600 hours and can be completed in less than 6 months. Going to school is not a requirement for becoming a successful makeup artist. It may give you a boost in a very competitive field.
