I need a little advice on how best to break into the world of editorial make-up artistry and getting published work.
I was set in my ways that I wanted to be a special effects make-up artist, but now my preferences have changed and I've come to realise that I just want to create living works of art, haha. Obviously the problem with this is that I have been gaining experience in the wrong field (TV&Media) and I can't really do both.
Have any of you experienced artists got any advice? I know it won't be easy, but I don't know where to start. Thanks for reading.
