Some think so. Can it be a waste of money? Some think so. Here is a closer look at makeup schools, how they operate, questions to ask and things to look for. Before I get into my review I would like to tell you what the schools will not. 1) Very few people with training or without training make it in this business. Most leave within a few years because it is just as hard to break into the makeup artist field as it is the modeling and acting fields. There are probably 50 artists for each job and so the competition is fierce. 2) You will not make a living as an artist for 3 to 5 years and if you are like the majority of struggling artists, you will never make a living at it. 3) Pay scale for artists has gone down over the last 5 years due to the fact that schools are putting hundreds of artists a month into a field already overflowing with people desperate for work. Artists are working for half what they did 5 years ago, many have left the field entirely. 4) Makeup artists are self employed, most are freelancers. You will do your own marketing, billing, book-keeping, taxes and invoicing. Very few artists are with agencies; very few agencies can keep an artist working more then the occasional job, so you will be on your own. You will need to learn how to run your own business. 5) Because artists do not work until they have a competitive portfolio you will need to have another means of support for your first 2 to 5 years. Realistically most artists never make enough to support themselves.
