The Makeup Artist is responsible for applying makeup and/or special makeup effects to the on-camera talent so that they appear in the “look” approved by the Director. Most of the time, beauty makeup is applied, which removes imperfections so that the result makes the talent appear better than someone could in real life. Some of the time, however, special effects makeup techniques are used to add imperfections, to enhance the reality of life or to create something wholly unnatural. Most Effects Makeup Artists can do both, but not all Beauty Makeup Artists are qualified to do effects.





Most shows will have only two people for the duration, the Department Head and the Key. As far as IATSE Local 706 is concerned, you can move back and forth from Head to Key from show to show. There is no inherent seniority in those titles.





On very heavy days when, say, you’ve got a roomful of zombies played by scores of Extras, a lot more Makeup Artists will be hired as DAYPLAYERS to plow through the work so it is finished by crew call.





Hair is its own department in the union environment. On ultra-low-budget shows, you may be expected to do both Makeup and Hair, but once you start working on large union shows, you have to specialize in one or the other.





Working on freebies, deferred payment jobs, or the “this is a GREAT PROJECT” call gives you more experience, a larger resume and portfolio and more contacts to call in the future. But more than that, it gives you “days.” To work on the big stuff where you can make better money, you almost always have to be part of IATSE Local 706. There are three main ways of gaining membership...





To find out what those are and to learn EVERYTHING you need to know about creating a career in Makeup or Hair, check out the book listed below.





Good luck with your career!

i would like to do the same. my sister does too. we live in cali so it would be easy for us to just go to los angeles and attend schools there and they will help us find spots to do makeup or hair on celebrities. but it depends on where you live. usually small towns dont have places for that.
