One of the most exciting and dynamic fields in the market today is that of beauty and make-up training. A career as a make-up artist opens numerous job opportunities in movies, magazines and events. As more and more people start taking their personal appearance seriously, the role of the make-up artist has also become more important, as many cosmetics companies also like to tie up with make-up artists to sell their products. A make-up artist today isn't just someone who knows what shade of lipstick to use- they should be aware of past and present trends and be up to date in specialized fields like special effects make-up artistry. Since the beauty field has become such a challenging and diversified field, the demands that a make-up artist has to face has also increased. However, with a plethora of employment opportunities and a vast scope for diversification, a career as a make-up artist can be an incredibly rewarding and successful one. A make-up artist must be prepared to deal with a number of different situations and must be able to handle clients and customers in the right way. A program in make-up artistry will cover aspects like product knowledge, skin care, application and technique, fashion/high fashion make-up, make up for black and white photography, theater, film and television and photo shoots. Students will also learn about color theories, correctional make-up as well as classic and current fashion trends. They will also learn how to work with stylists and photographers when conducting a photo shoot. Students will learn period make-up and modern interpretations of classic styles and looks. Special effects make-up is an extremely challenging and creative subject that teaches students about character interpretation and molding its physical characteristics accordingly.
