Becoming a "qualified" Make-Up Artist
12 posts, 10 members
Hi Lexxie, I am a qualified Makeup artist and I did a course at Cutabove academy back in 2009, in that course i got a certificate in Makeup artistry level 4 and NZQA recognised qualifications.
It depends what your doing a course for, I was a beginner at makeup so I found it was useful on learning a wide range of makeups, we also did hairdressing and SPFX makeup.
You can learn alot from youtube, blogs and beauty review, honestly if I could go back for myself I would have saved my money and just teach myself like many self taught makeup ladies. I hope my post helps rest your question, if you have any more Ill do my best to answer them :)

Totally agree with you. My mum always told me to teach myself make-up and beauty from a young age (she is a beauty therapist and Make Up Artist, studied in London) She always believed one did not need to study Make-up after completing her course too. I have just practised and practised and done a lot of research and I feel like I have a pretty high knowledge without studying and I believe any ladies who are passionate about it can teach themselves too!!! Man,Youtube has certainly made learning easier these days!
The reason I was wondering about becoming qualified in NZ was that I had seen some places advertising (online) Make-up Courses with a certificate at the end... I just wondered if these certificates would be welcomed within NZ if you were trying to get a Make-Up related job. I was just a little scared that people may pay out the money for the course and may not actually be properly qulified at the end, I would just hate to see people get stiched up and dissapointed. I am not sure I am allowed to name on BR so will just keep this open... If however, this course is legit then it would be a pretty good option for people wanting to learn.

Hi there,
There are a few courses that you can do that can give you some qualifications.
Here a few I thought i'd share :)

I did a makeup/beauty/hair course through Whitireia but I think it would be beneficial to do a full make up course indulging in wonderful things like SPFX !!!!!!

I think that the term 'qualified' in makeup artistry might be the problem. It really depends on who you ask. If qualified means that the certification is authenticated by some regulated body, then your first stop would be to research those bodies. So for example in NZ, that usually means NZQA. However, if qualified means 'can do makeup really well at a professional level', then it really doesn't matter. I'm a 'quailfied' beauty therapist but I also freelance makeup artistry, which is self taught with the help of youtube/ websites and just general interest in Art.I do know for a fact, that very few places require that you are certified/ qualified in makeup artistry, as they do a trade test anyway. Except perhaps for cinema/production and theatre related makeup jobs. Hope this helps you?
As long as you have a great portfolio of the work you can do and have done thats normally all you need when applying for a job, i know of many that havent had qualifications and applied for makeup based jobs because they had a great portfolio and were quick learners, you learn alot and they do provide you with courses when your working in the makeup industry :)
Hi Lexxie,
I would look for a course from a reputable institution, that is recognized and accredited by NZQA. There are a few that have already been mentioned above.
I'm a 'qualified' make-up artist - Make-Up artistry was part of my Beauty Therapy diploma.
In all honesty, it only provided a very a basic introduction. We weren't taught anything that I didn't already know from years of personal use and experimentation.
Once I got out and started my career as a practicing Therapist, I was put through professional, in-depth training with the make-up range that we used in-house.
This was the turning point for me - I learnt tips and tricks for application that made a big difference to me as an artist. It took what I already knew to the next level. A good company will always keep up with staff training, so you will learn a lot on the job too.
If you are naturally talented and intuitive when it comes to make-up, then at the least a course will fine tune your techniques and give you a platform to build your skill set.
Good luck - it's a fun and rewarding career :)

My girlfriend studied at Servilles Academy and had a great time. She said that there's two levels, Level 3 is basic makeup and skincare certification and then level 4 is Makeup Artistry (if you want to really specialise into special FX or movie/photographic). They use MAC cosmestics in their kits too
