  • Do you have any advice/tips as to working for MAC? I've tried sending in an application either twice or three times, and have never gotten a call back :(

  • U are so adorable!!! Thank u so much for ur advice!!!! Do you happen to know what's the best makeup school in Toronto, Canada???

  • Love the ending! You're so cute! Hahaha! :D

  • Aloha Koren,

    where can i purchase a professional make up portfolio, and can you suggest a great foundation pallette for me to carry to shoots good for all skin tones?

  • Thank you so much for the advice. You are super talented and I absolutely love your videos. XOxo

  • hey do you need to go to beauty school or be certified to be a makeup artist please answer and thanx great info...

  • there is also a esthication course for 600 hr that teach makeup, tough i am not sure as to how many hours is makeup

  • ok correction, there is a difference between cosmo school and makeup school. If you want to be a makeup artist why would you go to cosmo school for hair.GUYS THERE ARE MAKEUP SCHOOLS TO WHERE YOU CAN GET YOUR LICENSE. tHIS IS FOR ENKORE

  • cosmetology school aint only about hair lmao...it involves the whole shabang...aesthestics, makeup, hair, nails everything

  • sorry my comment was for TheArtisticsam...

  • Great video! Very informative:)

  • Koren, I watch your video's all the time, they are so interesting, and they teach me a lot. i LOVE to play with make up. But this really surprised me, because here, there is a school and its three months of schooling, all make up and you come out a completely lincensed make up artist.

    Buttt Thank you SO much for sharing all these videos they help a lot

    Peace and Love

    Cait

  • I am a professional makeup artist but I still have learned so much from you about the little simple things they dont teach you in school. :)

  • I love your videos

  • you're crazy!!!! great advice!

  • i love your videos! they're always so cute and creative!

    :)

  • what do yo do when you are confident and already have a great portfolio? How do you find and book good paying gigs?

  • Make sure you take atleast 1 course for make up classes. Try doing freelances and getting youre name out there. theres plenty of ways, but i dont think enkore is going to bother to answer any of us. ;]

  • cool video i am an aspiring makeup artist

  • 0:02

  • Love Love Love! I really want to be a makeup artist but I was soooo unsure about to go about it. It was stressing me because I wanted to start school but didn't know if cosmetology school or aesthetics school was the better option. Thanks for making everything a bit more clear :) Your amazing!

  • lol the end is so cute :p

  • I love your videos! Thank you so much for the advice. I am starting Paul Mitchell school in April and they cover 1200 hours, 100 hours of which cover makeup. I am so excited. Can't wait to watch your new videos!

    Oh if you have time, please have a seminar Jacksonville, FL or Orlando, FL. I will definitely attend! :)

  • i think ur advices are really helpful for us, thanks!

  • hahah..love the end!

  • Thanks for this, so much. I'm just getting started back from a long mommy hiatus, doing makeup for weddings/ fashion shows etc. These tips are very useful to me! Again, thanks. :)

  • OMG I LOVE THAT HUGE MIRROR BEHIND YOU

  • how do you edit your videos?

  • i was wondering the same

  • btw I love the advise you give.

  • New york and Massachusetts 1000 hours full-time.:D I am going to graduate in March.

  • omg, i love that opening!!! it so funny, gtreat job. you rock koren!

  • hey i jus want to post a comment replay to everyone else..i live in nj and have my cosmo lincee its a 1000 hours but u can do anything wit that makeup hair nails skin etc. as far as jus doin makeup i would say take the esthicins program its alot less hours and makeup is a huge part of it they also have jus makeup schools and classes all u have to do is research it..its not hard! hope this helped!

  • Do you have to buy every shade of foundation in the world when your a makeup artist. Because of all the different skin types there are in the world. And what do you do when you do someone and you dont have their makeup shade.

  • no, I only carry a Light, Medium, and Dark - in both Cool and Warm undertones -- and then I mix those to match my client's tone.

  • omg thank you that helps me so much lol

  • omg that would be crazy to have to buy every foundation color T_T lmao

  • thank you! that was my primo question! i was wondering if you broke the bank to buy every color of foundashy. also: how do you know if poeple are cool or warm toned? i thought about going to beauty school but i heard they don't even teach much about makeup... and i already know a lot and i believe experience is the best teacher...

  • first thats why i will not go to beauty school and only makeup school but than i dont think i would get my full hours cause the school in hollywood is only 3 months long for makeup, thats not fair why would you go to a beauty school when it doesnt teach you enough about makeup and then have to take another school and that will cost a fortune

  • I'm 4mths from graduation, its not a makeup only course, but its Esthetics, so makeup is a MAIN segment. The best is this school teaches the advanced stuff you have to pay tons for at workshops (i.e. eyelash extentions, theatrical makeup (including latex, silicone, and gelatin work), airbrush technique, in addition to skincare (super important for an artist) hair removal, body wraps, microdermabrasion and chemical peels....but NO HAIR!! If you are an aspiring artist, try an Esthetics license :)

  • hi enkore!

    can you show us some of your beautiful work, sometime?

  • They should have Makeup School and Hair School.

    Problem solved.

  • hello love,thanks for the advice,do you have a make up school and if you don't why not open one,cos you've inspire alot of people.thank you.

  • Hey all you aspiring makeup artist.. if you want to know about a great and affordable makeup ONLY school send me a message and I'll let you know all about it. I have tried to post this message numerous times but for some reason it isnt working... contact me I am an alumni

  • i start cosmetology school next month and it will be 2000 hrs...ugh...

  • I went for about... 4 months. I hated it. Why do you think theres so many drop outs?

    Its not really what you expect. You'll pretty mych learn perms haircuts fingerwaves wetsets haircolor and all that stuff but NOTHING about make up which was what I wasnted to learn about. Good luck.

  • ya I was researching cosmo schools and under the description of what you'll learn there was just hair and nails...no makeup T_T

  • Well the school I went to said it would cover makeup. But what they didn't say was that it only went thru the basics and that it was like 4 hours. I could teach the teacher more about makeup than she could teach me.

  • You are adorable! I just want to pick you up and put you in my pocket.

    ... that makes me sound unbalanced, doesn't it? Oh well...

  • haha i laughed at the end :) ur funny koren

  • are there any good make up schools in florida??? Because i know that there are make up schools here but i would like to attend the best. thanks.

  • Koren, what school did you attend and also did you have a mentor? Is that important the schooling or the mentor that is? Also is there a website that caters to pro makeup artists and pro makeup artist supplies?

  • Thanks for the advice.

  • Just a footnote for those viewing and reading. In lieu of the 1600 hr cosmetology course which does take 2 yrs and mainly deals with hair. You can opt for esthetics which is in depth skin care and facial treatments and offers generally 30 hrs makeup training. This course is usually 600-750 hrs (depending on state). I completed the course within 10 months.

  • i wish it snowed down here!]=

    i live in boring Texas=[

  • How can you learn more about makeup then? After the 1600 hrs for comso, is there any way I can take more classes on makeup? Thanks for this helpful vid!

  • there ar eloads of never-ending classes to take. Even now, I still attend classes and workshops and such from where ever there is available. The 1600 hours is mandatory by most state to complete to get lecensed.

  • Ugh! Hair... LOL! I didn't think so many hours were for hair and not make-up! Anyway, I guess it just makes people more rounded in the industry. It's good, b/c if you ever get a client who wants their hair done, you can suggest what make-up can go great w/ the 'do. And that can definitely open a door for more business & clientele. Love your videos, keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Congradulations on making youtube partner! It means that you get a video that auto plays on ur channel and you get a advertising banner as well, and you will have ads pop up on your videos too, like a banner, also it's an elite group of youtubers.

  • you are so cute!! i'm addicted to your videos now. please keep posting!! i look forward to watching them when i have time. the snow looked pretty outside!! :-)

  • Hey Koren!

    i was just wondering. if someone works at mac as a makeup artist, how much would they get paid? because somebody told me that they get paid $100 per hour. and this other person told me it was $50 per hour. i'm so confused.

    bye!

  • hi Cookie - I have a number of makeup artist friends who works at/for MAC either as regular or freelance, and no one MAKES that much per hour. Im not sure about the SENIOR Artists - I assume they might be on Salary, but in-store artists can range (I believe) $16 - $25 per hour depending on what State/Location, and whether you're a regular employee or a freelancer.

  • Yay! Thanks a lot! That question was bugging me for a while. i love how you take the time and answer every single question out there.

    you're great!

  • You can go to school just for facial stuff encluding Makeup (in MI) its called Esthetician classes its 600 hours.

  • Hi just I'm intrested in taking cosmetology but I dunno what school to go to. Theres one that cost about 1,014 and another that cost 16,000 whats the diffrence won't they both teach me the same things??

  • hey Ray - each school varies basing on reputation and what they have in their curiculum. And yes different schools have different stuff to teach, but all come down to just teaching the basics first. Ask around which school is best in your area, the more reputatble it is, the better it will look in your Resume.

  • I hear school isn't needed by ALOT of amazing artists. What is your opinion on school?

  • hey cosmojes - missed this question, sorry for late response. Schooling is only required if you want to be licensed. A lot of freelance artists doesnt need to be licensed in some states and therefore doesnt need to go thu schooling. Certain companies will not hire non-licensed MUAS, and Salons and Spas are manadtory for their artists to be licensed. SO it depends on where you want to go with makeup.

  • Thanks alot!

  • thank you so much for making this video!!!

    your are so cute and helpful.

    i love you koren!

  • XD That opening song is from Tarzan =3

  • Hey just a quick question which do you think is a better program to be in (I want to be a make up artist) cosmotology or estetician?? Did you go to cosmotology school??

  • Yes I went to Cosmo school, as my state requires Cosmo license to practice specially if I want to do hair and makeup. Estets mostly cover skincare. But like I mentioned in this vid, both only covers very few hours on makeup.

  • A lot of states are offering an Aethetics license now. I think the course is between 650and 800 hours in most states.

  • Your vid just put a big smile on my face...thanx for brightening up my day

  • you dont have to take up cosomtology in school..if you have ot get a liscence in your state..you could get an estitician lisence..that focuses on skincare, makup, waxing..everything really that a makeup artist would need to know plus a little extra like massages and facials.

  • So you don't have to study to learn professional techniques?

  • i think you misunderstoond, i was saying that if you have to get a liscence you could get an estitician liscence you dont HAVE to get a cosmotology lisence. and i suggested that bceause unlike cosmotology whish focuses mainly on hair, estetics focuses on the care of the skin and all the other things you would need to know as a makeup artist.

  • i love the part when your playing hopscotch and then you fall.. dont take that part out. it's great <3 and great vid. :D

  • I {&hearts;} your snow angel!!!

  • i really like this video. Making snow angels is so much fun ^_^

  • Yes, yes I too got this snow on over the weekend! We need to leave NJ and go to FL for some sun! ;)

  • oh gosh wouldnt that be lovely???

  • i love the ending where you just fall into the snow.. haha!

  • You're so cheesy in a totally awesome way XD

  • yay snow!

  • Eheheh Great tips as ALWAYS!!

    The end...So cute !!!!

  • hi, this may be sound kind of a dumb question, but i found at michels (the craft store) loose pigments, they are "pear ex powder pigment" and they are non-toxic dose that mean i can wear it on my eyes? or am i crazy? thanks i hope you can respond..... also you are amazing!

  • hey frogy - NO those are not tested for cosmetic skin purposes, not to mention optalmologist approved so it can be harful in the eye area. I wouldnt use it even though it says non toxic. You can get skin irritations from it.

  • listen to enkore please. ive heard some scary stories when it comes to allergic reactions.

  • thank you! you are so funny and talented, i work for MAC cosmetics and i cant stop playing with other brands! i remember you said that some of the artist at the mac counter can be stingy (your face chart tutorial video) if you are ever in portland stop on by.... i will give u a bunch!

  • awe I miss Portland forgy! How is there these days? I will make sur eto ask for more Face Charts when Im in Portland :)

  • You are the cutest :)

  • How awesome for Us, Koren that you had snow and stayed in!!

    Look forward to the rest of this series.

    You're the BEST!!!!

  • let me tell you......you are amazing, thank you for your tips, your the best. I have a question, my eyeshadow creases in toward the inner coner, i us udpp, it works ok , I get a lot of black goopy things in the inner conner of my eyes....any tips?

  • are they coming from your eyeshadow or your eyeliner?

  • from my eyeshadow

  • ah - that means you have oily lids and its causing the shadow to collect in your inner corner. After applying UDPP, just set it with powder first, but press it on to the udpp, so that it seals the oils your lids produce. Then apply your shadow. Try that.

  • thank you so much, i feel so honored your answered my question.

  • you seem to like UDPP a lot... FY EYE doesn't get any lovin' from EnKore? lol

  • hehehe yeah so far UDPP works well, and another product thats overlooked is Too Faced Eye Insurance.

  • i'm getting kind of annoyed here. why are so many positive comments getting thumbs down ratings? sorry to post this on your channel koren but i've just watched a ton of videos where nice comments are getting the thumbs down. i really think there are some douche bags out there with nothing better to do than use their mouse as a surge of power. ugh.

  • I'm sure this isn't what happening, but I know once or twice I've accidentally clicked thumbs down and been like "oh crap".

  • Koren you are so cute! I love you!

  • Here, you can really tell that the cosmo school barely covers make-up. Their practices would appaul you Koren. I watched a MA use a reg. mascara wand (the one that comes with it) on someone, and another had no clue what primer was (this is Guam and you really need it). Personally I think they should make a school specifically for MA's.

    Thank you so very much for all your tips!

  • hafadai Vix - now I hope you dont let them do that to you. yeah primers, in the south pacific HELPS a ton.

  • Hafa! :)

    No way jose! on the mascara thing. I know better lol, especially after watching all your videos. The MA's here should spend some time on Youtube (your channel =P) lol they could learn a few things.

    Si yu'us maasi!

  • thanks for the great info!! I have been offered a job as a MA by my friend but I dont have any experience other than doing my own make up lol he knows, and says his wife can train me for the rest so we'll see

  • great advice, thanks Koren! :)

  • i love your little intro. i'm a makeup artist. well, i work at mac but that counts too, right? LOL. I agree with pretty much everything you said. Create a portfolio, work on people, hand out cards. Word of mouth is the best publicity one can have. Also, one suggestion-unless you are looking to work at a salon or spa, I'm against beauty school. Waste of money if you're truly talented. But that's just my 2 cents. Practice, practice, practice!! Thanks for the video Koren. Much love. <3333 Violet

  • thanks Violet!

  • Yay! thanks for this video! good advice

  • Hey Koren!I love all ur videos,u rock!I'm getting married in the summer and plan to do my own makeup.Can u plz give me some advice on bridal makeup as to what type of products to use,do's and dont's etc.I would really appreciate that xx

  • hi Miz - if you are planning a mediumsize wedding. I would really advise to ask or hire someone to do your makeup. BIG mistake most brides-to-be make is planning to do their own. And, when the day comes, its too crazy that their minds are pretty scattered worrying if everything is in place. Then the little time there is, is spent on trying to get their makeup done themselves. Where it comes down to, one less worry, and your makeup will look better in pictures and videos for years to come.

  • I totally agree with this. I didn't do my own MU, but didn't think that it would have been a big deal to do so.

    It was a gift, along with massage and manicure for a bridal shower, and it was definitely remembered for a long time to come!

    It's one less worry on the big day and I got to spend some time with the MUA a week or so before and look at looks, talk, etc.

    Koren is right! Don't plan on doing your own or having an untrained person do it, MU for photography is different too!

  • thanx again...koren...as always lots of great advice...~trudiva~

  • thanks so much for the info

  • hihi, you are a snowangel! =)

  • Another wonderful video :3

  • aww your ending was so cute :)

  • Great video!I'm in esthetics and we cover a minimum amount of hours on makeup (or barely any I should say). Fortunetely, we get some clients that come in our school who wants makeup done, so there is that practice. Esthetics course is only 750 hours, so I really want to go more thorough makeup courses when I'm done.

  • You are sooooo nice and helpful!

  • u falled over lol

  • haha yeah i thought it was funny to add in the ending.

  • lol it was funny XD but i hope u didnt hurt urself

  • oh, nah - it was really soft powder snow.

  • lol thats good 2 no coz wudnt want u getin hurt :)

  • Thank you so much for the excellent advice! You are awesome!

  • Great advise....I went to scholl and you are right we didn't get much training on makeup. I love the end of the video.....we have about this much snow right now too... :-)

  • I love the ending of your videos you are so creative

  • Koren, Thank you so much for making your videos! They are so helpful and informative! My mom and I love watching your videos! I thought you had a video on hot to apply mineral powder foundation? My mom has a kit but does not use it because she doesnt know how to apply it.

  • No job in the world is easy... Thank you for the great advices. You're so professional!
