How did everyone change from a makeup assistant to a makeup artist?

The work of an assistant makeup artist in a photo studio is generally in three aspects:

1. service makeup artist: hand over cosmetics, hand over clips and other necessary things;

2. Service photographer: lighting, palette, simple makeup, etc.

3. Serving guests: changing clothes, signing skirts, wearing veil and other things that guests need;

In short, assistants need to serve everyone except themselves, but if they have experience in training schools and know the basic knowledge of makeup, basic tools, cosmetics and makeup work, they will be promoted to makeup artists faster, and the time will be about 4-6 months.

Although assistants do chores, if the dream is to become a makeup artist, you can't immerse yourself in chores.

1. Use all your time and seize the opportunity to do some simple practical exercises, such as simple men's makeup, bridesmaid's makeup and make-up, so as not to really become a handyman.

2. At the same time, you need to pay attention to active learning and actively ask the makeup artist for professional skills. And pay attention to the makeup artist's observation when picking up the guests, and observe their experience and communication skills.

3. We should also pay attention to timely self-recommendation and accumulate our personal network resources by accumulating the trust of users.

Therefore, being an assistant makeup artist is suitable for people with certain experience, foundation, patience and hard work. However, if you have zero or poor foundation, the basic knowledge you can learn as an assistant is limited and not systematic enough, which is not conducive to the future development of makeup artists in general.

In addition, talk about the problem of training schools. In this case, "I studied in a training school for a while, but my academic performance was not particularly good". There is a high probability that I was cheated by the school, and there is something wrong with the course content or the teacher's teaching, which is also one of the common problems in the training school now. I suggest that you don't trust online publicity easily when choosing a school. You can learn about the school through formal channels. If circumstances permit, you'd better have a look in person and ask a student for feedback.
