Each city holds two fashion weeks a year. You can also look out for specialized fashion shows and fashion weeks, like Bridal Fashion Week or Paris\u2019s haute couture shows.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you\u2019re the lead makeup artist, you\u2019ll meet with the designer a few days before the show for a test. They\u2019ll fill you in on the show\u2019s story and let you take a look at fabric swatches or pieces from the collection. Then you\u2019ll create a look on the test model until you and the designer settle on the perfect fit.<\/p>\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.comhttps:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_285180878_ed-1.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup artist applying a model&#039;s makeup\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11956\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>On the day of the show, you\u2019ll arrive early (even earlier than call time, that is) to get your station set up. After a last-minute meeting with the designer\u2019s staff to confirm how many models you\u2019ll be working on and how much time you\u2019ll have, things start getting busy. As the lead artist, you\u2019ll be doing the makeup for a handful of models yourself, plus supervising your assistants and your team. Then add in last-minute changes, models showing up late, beauty editors and bloggers trying to get a quick interview\u2026 you\u2019ll definitely have your hands full!<\/p>\n\n<p>And this isn\u2019t a one-time deal. During whatever fashion week you\u2019re doing, you might be doing multiple tests and shows a day. Even if you\u2019re not the lead artist, your schedule can be jam-packed.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<p>While many shows stick to the basics in their beauty, some designers like to go over the top. Did you see the incredible <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.com\/13334646\/givenchy-spring-2016-face-masks-beauty-pat-mcgrath-backstage-models\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">masks<\/a> Pat McGrath created for Givenchy this year? Or the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.vogue.fr\/beauty-tips\/beauty-inspiration\/diaporama\/fwah2015-backstage-beauty-rick-owens-fall-winter-2015-2016\/19495#le-defile-rick-owens-automne-hiver-2015-2016-cote-beaute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gold leaf<\/a> covering models\u2019 faces for Rick Owens\u2019 Fall\/Winter 2015 collection? Those kinds of intensive looks might have you getting up extra-early for several hours of complicated makeup application\u2014or working long, late hours the night before a show to come up with a special beauty prop.<\/p>\n\n<p>And what to do with the rest of your year? Well, you can carry on your love of fashion year-round by grabbing editorial work for ads and magazines. Many runway artists work for big-name makeup brands like MAC, NARS, or Sephora, in which case you can expect to be landing other high-profile jobs throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_182760044_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Model with elaborate makeup and hair on the runway\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_182760044_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_182760044_ed-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personality_Profile\"><\/span>Personality Profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Okay, in case you didn\u2019t pick up on it already, runway makeup can be stressful stuff. Long hours, tight deadlines, late models, last-minute changes\u2014if you can\u2019t deal with a fast-paced work environment, runway makeup isn\u2019t the career for you!<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a matter of people skills. You\u2019ll be spending a lot of time with your team and the people backstage, and just like you, they\u2019re feeling the pressure. Keeping your cool and staying polite, even when things seem to be falling apart, makes people want to keep working with you. If you\u2019re the lead artist, you\u2019ve got to hit a tricky balance: staying calm when things go wrong, but making sure they get fixed all the same.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<p>Many people think runway makeup is all about creativity. That\u2019s definitely true, but not always in the way you\u2019d expect. A designer\u2019s aesthetic isn\u2019t always your aesthetic, and many designers want their makeup to stay pretty basic. Recognizing a collection\u2019s style and creating an appropriate, original look for it are major skills in this industry!<\/p>\n\n<p>And\u2014need we say it\u2014a makeup artistry career behind-the-scenes on the runway takes dedication. If you\u2019re thinking runway makeup artistry sounds like a competitive field, you\u2019re definitely right. You need to have the grit (and the guts) to keep going, even when (and it\u2019s definitely when, not if) you face rejection.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_178471949_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Runway model with white eyeliner and dark lipstick\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_178471949_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_178471949_ed-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_There\"><\/span>Getting There<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>You guessed it: no one starts out their makeup artistry career as a runway makeup artist! If you\u2019ve got your heart set on the runway, it\u2019ll take experience, hard work, and connections with the right people. Don\u2019t despair, though: building your network isn\u2019t just a matter of chance.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<p>First, you\u2019ll want to get the background. A course or degree that includes material on high fashion, runway, and editorial makeup is the perfect place to start, like our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/master-makeup-artistry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Master Makeup Artistry course<\/a>. Even though you probably won\u2019t find jobs creating those looks right away, practice those skills on friends and models to keep your makeup muscles in shape. Organizing a creative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/01\/building-your-makeup-artist-portfolio-participating-in-a-styled-shoot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">styled shoot<\/a> lets you practice your looks and helps you build your runway portfolio.<\/p>\n\n<p>Make sure you\u2019re keeping an eye on makeup trends, too. Runway work is where those trends get set. Before you can start creating your own trends, you need to know what\u2019s already in style!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_275076143_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Runway makeup artist applying a model&#039;s makeup\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_275076143_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_275076143_ed-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Runway makeup artistry is definitely a \u201cwork your way up\u201d kind of business, so don\u2019t let starting small discourage you. Working small-scale shows or looking for jobs as an assistant with other makeup artists is the best way to start building up your network. Plus, the runway experience it gives you lets you know what to expect when you start taking on bigger jobs.<\/p>\n\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/02\/new-york-fashion-week-runway-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nathan told us<\/a>, designers tend to go for makeup artists they already know, often from look books or ad campaigns (or, in Nathan\u2019s case, a reality TV show!) so editorial work is a good place to start. The relationship between a designer and a makeup artist is all about trust\u2014and a designer who respects your work and trusts your professional skills is going to keep coming back to you!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_for_me\"><\/span>Is it for me?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><i>The Pros:<\/i><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li>Opportunity to set trends and get your work recognized<\/li>\n<li>Fast-paced workplace keeps things interesting<\/li>\n<li>Helps establish you as a leading makeup artist<\/li>\n<li>Lots of artistic and creative challenges<\/li>\n<li>Easy to combine with other makeup work, like editorial<\/li>\n<li>Often goes hand-in-hand with work for a big-name company<\/li>\n<li>Lets you create totally unique, original looks<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><i>The Cons:<\/i><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li>Difficult to break into the industry right away<\/li>\n<li>Work environment can be stressful<\/li>\n<li>Lots of pressure to do well in high-profile shows<\/li>\n<li>Seasonal employment<\/li>\n<li>Tons of competition<\/li>\n<li>Long hours<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Sure, it can be a tough path to get there, but if you love high fashion and you\u2019re passionate about cutting-edge beauty it\u2019s totally worth it!
