Are you an aspiring makeup artist, bridal makeup artist, celebrity makeup artist or are you working in a salon or hey maybe you are an overall makeup enthusiast? Well, you are going to be wowed when you learn these 7 perks of commercial makeup artistry! Let's get started...
1. You will go places you've never dreamed
Just imagine your daily "office" will change with each new project and day! One day you might be working on a photo or video shoot in a studio, and the next day you could be getting people camera ready in an airplane hangar, corporate high rise, NFL football stadium, on a golf course or "across the pond" in another country! The possibilities and opportunities are endless.
2. You will experience things you never thought possible
Traveling to different locations for photo shoots, video shoots, live events, or film shoots is definitely a possibility working as a commercial makeup artist. You will also find yourself in unique situations to experience so many new things which most people will never be aware of or get the chance to. For instance, being backstage at events where only "crew" is allowed, on the sideline of professional sporting events and seeing YOUR work on national television, billboards, magazines and so much more.
3. You will work face-to-face with people you never imagined
Working in the commercial makeup industry can provide you with opportunities to meet and work with a variety of people, from models to photographers to other makeup artists, actors, celebrities, athletes, TV hosts, politicians and inspiring "real" people. Building connections can lead to new opportunities and collaborations. And how fun it is to meet people like. . . Santa Claus! It's all in a day's work:-)
4. You will decide how often you would like to work
Working as a commercial makeup artist, you will be self-employed also known as a freelancer. As a freelance makeup artist, you have control over your makeup business. Depending on your business goals, financial goals and work/life balance you wish to achieve, you choose which jobs to take. You choose when you take days off and when you go on vacation. And most commercial work takes place Monday through Friday so take the weekends off or keep booking those bridal parties and personal makeup sessions!
5. You will know people look and feel good because of you
Definitely a perk of being a commercial makeup artist! Knowing your skills will make people look and feel good. How rewarding is this?! Working closely with talent on set, your positive, calm presence and demeanor also help people feel confident and relaxed before they get in front of the camera! This helps them perform better:-)
6. You will recognize your skills help brands convey their concepts
Not only is it exciting bringing brand concepts to life but the commercial makeup industry truly provides you with a creative outlet. It's the perfect pocket of the industry to continually learn new skills, elevate your artistry, work on very cool projects, collaborate with production and advertising agency teams to successfully create characters, looks and develop ideas while broadening your horizons!
