Pro: you are your own boss
cons: takes a while (2 months-over a year) to get a stable client base.

I agree with Odara.

The main thing is you have want it for yourself out in this business. lol being your own boss can be both pro and con. You're accountable for majority of your success. So marketing is key!

Pro: You will have fun and be happy with your work and how it touch each client differently :)

Hi Rashi!

If you have a dream in makeup artistry, I say pursue it! Makeup school can definitely teach you more than just makeup application- but its history, sanitation and about the industry and how to succeed in it!

For example, CHIC STUDIOS has a Chic Community for graduates. This entails hiring fairs and pro makeup events! Whether it is CHIC STUDIOS or another beauty school, I definitely would suggest it! :)
