I'm looking to get into the field but I don't know what I should do. Do I need to get trained, or should I apply at a department store and have them train me? Any suggestions? I have never worked for a company, but I have been doing make-up for friends, coworkers, and family for years. Does this count as experience because I have never taken money for it?

Maybe try getting a job at MAC or a department store to get your foot in the door.

What school did you go to? Is it a ton of money for tuition? I'm getting my Masters right now but I wanted to try something different. I don't think I could handle 2 huge tuitions.
I tried getting a job at MAC but they only hire professional make up artists. I'm talking to Clinique, Estee Lauder and Bobbi Brown right now. Hopefully one will work out.
