Being a trainee makeup artist is a great way to enter the makeup artist industry. You get an opportunity to show your talent, as well as to network with future potential employers. In this position, you will be working with a more established makeup artist and assisting where needed. This may include setting up, keeping the station organized, handing over supplies to the senior makeup artist when requested, and doing minimal makeup on the subjects. If you prove yourself, you may be tasked with applying more intricate makeup and being given more responsibility.
When you are applying for this job, you want your resume to show any previous experience as well as any certification and training you have completed. Listing a wide skill set will also be a huge advantage as it will show you to be even more useful on the job.
