Many jurisdictions do not require a working professional makeup artist to be licensed. However, some regions and locations do require that you obtain a makeup artist license or cosmetology license to practice makeup artistry. Before you start work as a makeup artist you should check to see if the profession is regulated in your area. If your jurisdiction has no licensing requirements, the certificate you’ll receive from QC Makeup Academy is sufficient proof of professional makeup training. QC’s courses are well known internationally and have helped countless graduates secure careers in the makeup industry.
