Visage is somewhat different from makeup, as it involves a longer and more painstaking work with the client's face. The makeup artist is looking for the most suitable image for this type of face, selects harmonious colors and shades, eliminates visible skin defects.
Who is easier to become a makeup artist
There is a common stereotype that it is easier for people with art education to make a career as a makeup artist. This is partly true. The ability to draw and the presence of a rich artistic imagination can significantly help in creating an unusual stage makeup that requires a creative approach.
In this case, it is important not so much the art education itself as the drawing skill and the ability to adapt to each client. Therefore, you can start preparing for training visage precisely by stuffing your hands and studying other people's work. Vivid images can be seen in theatrical makeup.
When working with regular orders, too rich imagination can, on the contrary, interfere. Creative nature can be difficult to restrain yourself and not do unusual artistic makeup. In this work, the main thing is to be able to determine the character and personality of a stranger, find an approach to each client and have a sense of taste. The ability to draw in this case will help, but it is worth remembering that the "living canvas" is very different from a sheet of paper or canvas.
