It depends on what type of makeup you want to do and what types of jobs you want. It you like esthetics then go to an Esthetician College or if you want to be able to do fx kinds of jobs then a Makeup College is a great idea or if you just want to do plain beauty makeup I recommend an Ulta or Sephora or any makeup store. I prefer Bobbi Brown and Lancolm counters.

if you're going for make up I'd just do the esty program because it's short and focuses on skin. that's what I'm doing.

Check out www.qcmakeupacademy.com it's a good makeup school that you can do at your own pace from home :) I'm currently enrolled in the Master Makeup Artistry program :) you can also check them out on Facebook.

Check the requirements for your state because alot of states now require you to be a licensed esthetician. It's a short 3-6 month program and gives you alot of credibility..A make-up certificate does not count in alot of states...Brynn P. even though I have a very established make up artistry business now I was thinking about taking the QC course..So you would recommend??? Talk to me..

I can't recommend a school, but I definitely would recommend getting an education that gives you an estheticion's license. I went to a program for special effects makeup which gave me a degree, but not an estheticion license and it's hard for me to get beauty makeup jobs aside from my own freelance gigs without it. It really is useful to have and I wish I'd looked into getting one sooner. So essentially, I know what I'm doing but have no paperwork to back myself up. I will have to go back to school one day when I have the money. So definitely save yourself some hassle there lol

Hi all :) I'm so glad I found this discussion, I recently found absolute love of make up & fashion (over the past year) I'm constantly looking at tips & advice online & trying to teach myself however I don't know much and am at a loss. I would like to get really stuck in & pursue a career as a mua but don't know where to start, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. P.s. I live in the UK, I noticed a lot of people on here are in the US

I am just about to get my diploma - I was working as a self taught artist for a year before I signed up for college. I have to say I have learned SO much there, about hairdressing, skin conditions, allergies, skincare, bodypainting, even about chemicals and formulations of products. So I feel that I'm more educated in my field because I know more about all the surrounding things besides make-up, if that makes sense. This is just my opinion though, there are some fantastic self taught artists out there.
