What is the best way to start a career in makeup?
I'm 19 and I am currently working as a bartender at the same restaurant I've been working at since I was 15. I graduated from high school and went to college, but dropped out after about 6 months. I've found myself having no passion or desire for anything worthy of making a career out of. I've recently been thinking about working my way up to becoming a makeup artist. I've always really enjoyed doing unique and outgoing eyeshadow looks. I've never really done makeup on anyone but myself, and I'm only experienced with eyeshadow. I want to save up and take a makeup course online eventually. But where do I start with experimenting with makeup on my own? What are good products or techniques to use? Are there any influencers or YouTubers I should watch?
Where can I get a cosmetology certificate if there is one? And what age should I start my career?
I'm a freshman and want to start my career soon. I specifically do hair and makeup. I have tons of experience with makeup and have already have my platform but not so many viewers I want to share my love with makeup and help others do their makeup. My goal is to finish high school and get a certificate so I can have my own business and soon after that start my own makeup line. #cosmetology #makeup #makeupartist
