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.

[EnKoreMakeup]

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.

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!

[EnKoreMakeup]

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.

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!

[EnKoreMakeup]

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.

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 :(
