A senior makeup artist is responsible for the cosmetic appearance of all subjects or clients. They are tasked with budgeting for and sourcing the appropriate makeup supplies. They may have assistants working under them but will be held responsible for their work. They will also be part of the development of makeup concepts and will advise clients where necessary.
A senior makeup artist’s resume should reflect their efficiency as well as their leadership capabilities. Highlighting their ability to work within a budget would also be very desirable to recruiters.
