I want to become a professional makeup artist but have no idea where to start?

I live in Wales and need some tips on what to do first??I want to become a professional makeup artist but have no idea where to start?
go to the local college and try a 'foundation' course................lololololI want to become a professional makeup artist but have no idea where to start?
Okay you can either go to a college that teaches it as a course, they will help ALOT with getting you into the industry, ive only been going to one since the beginning of the school year and im starting to get jobs.





Or you could start working freelance, offer to do prom makeup or party make up, etc etc.





But you will need to learn some hair dressing skills, not like cutting, but maybe root touch up, period hairstyles, etc etc.
If You want to just do Makeup! Do Not go to cosmetology school, They will only teach you State Board Makeup, Meaning basic Safety rules on Makeup They wont teach you styles or Techniques or Major Mu stuff (trust me I went to Cosmo School %26amp; Makeup School)





If you want a liscence Than I suggest Ehsthetician school which majors in Skin care, Facials, %26amp; Makeup!!





Or just go to Makeup Schools , You dont need to attend to become one but it helps plus certain schools can reccomend you for jobs After your course completion!!
i would consider working at a make-up counter in a department store and watch how other apply make-up until you're ready to and then decide whether school is right for you. not all artists need school
start small and get known, try practising on friends and realitives , then when you think you really want to become a professional take courses. good luck
