Make-up artists create the make-up and hairstyles of models, performers, presenters and others appearing in front of the camera or an audience. They work in a variety of settings, including photographic shoots for magazines and newspapers, film, television, theatre and live music. As a make-up artist, your work will involve creating images and characters through the medium of make-up, hairstyles and prosthetics according to a brief. You'll interpret the make-up requirements of clients to produce both a creative and technically accurate visual representation.
