urban-fantasies-blog asked: Hi! So I just graduated from High school and I don't know what I want to do after. I want to go to cosmetology to learn about makeup but then again I want to go to college to get my degree in something. So I want to know what did you do? Did you get your degree or went to cosmetology school?
Hi :)
I’m currently enrolled in university working towards my degree! Mainly because if I do get a job in the beauty industry i’d prefer to work in the business or marketing side.
Some careers you might consider are
- Freelance Makeup Artists: Your own boss/hours, makeup artist for brides, proms, special occasions, etc.
- Makeup Artist/Sales Associate: You can be a makeup artists in some spas/hair salons or makeup artist for brand stores/counters.
- Theatre/Movie Makeup Artist: More dramatic styles of makeup with wigs, prosthetics, etc.
- Marketing/Sales/Development: Business side of beauty industry/development of products formulas.
- Esthetician/Dermatologist: Working in spas with skin care, massages, hair removal, skin consultant, etc.
Also keep in mind some beauty schools focus mainly on hair and little on makeup/skin so if you do want to do some sort of beauty school i’d recommend doing your research on schools in your area to see if they have something you’d want to do.
I think it’s really personal preference and want is important to you. Personally, I find having a degree under my belt pretty important so if I ever want to sway from beauty/makeup I have some other education for other jobs. But if you really want to be a makeup artist going to beauty school would be super helpful.
Beauty school is more quick so you can get to working faster, you can also try to find a summer beauty school program so you can do that during the summer and go to college during the fall/spring. You can even try to do both if you work your classes around beauty school!
