I'm not sure if this is in the right category, but here goes...

I'm 16 years old and living in the UK. I would really like to become a makeup artist, in particular special effects. I am thinking about studying a BA (Hons) in Make-Up and Prosthetics for Performance after college at the London College of Fashion, however, I'm not aware if there are any better places to attend?
What advice would you give to someone trying to become a makeup artist?
How did you get started? Do you enjoy your work? What's it like day to day? What are the 'pros and cons' if you like?
Thanks for any advice you can give!
