Google is your best friend! There are tons of websites that will show you the schools closest to your zipecode. Just search 'flordia makeup schools' and you can get reviews.... prices.. courses! All that. :)
you honestly dont "need" school..
i believe that its an art and it rewuires a lot of passion and dediction. take a few makeup seminars usually some come with some sort of certificate and then get out there and just do your work.. start freelancing and build up a portfolio.
but it all starts with passion, skills, and dedication
I agree with Paloma, makeup school for my case is very expensive and since some of the great artists like Kevyn Aucoin have reached the top with out any training why can't I. I have read books like "Making Facen" and "Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual" which give a lot of detail and inside notes from these great artists.
@Allie S. I think it all depends on you. I personally want to learn as much as I can and be as confident as I can be. I will be attending a makeup artistry school. Take a few classes if you can, take tours of school and see the pros and cons of both.
good luck !
