Once you\u2019re locked into a project, though, you can expect things to settle down into something close to a routine.<\/p>\n\n<p>Movie makeup artists cover tons of bases. First and foremost, their job is to get actors camera-ready\u2014but what that means depends on the movie. Fantasy and sci-fi movies are often labor-intensive for makeup artists, with actors requiring specialized prosthetics and elaborate effects. Many movies require aging makeup or effects that mimic bruises, wounds, and other injuries. Some movies will only require very basic looks (though you\u2019ll still have to make sure they appear well on camera!)<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_269326925_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup artist applying an actor&#039;s prosthetics\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_269326925_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_269326925_ed-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve been hired for a movie, you\u2019ll have several busy months ahead of you. If you\u2019re a makeup designer, you\u2019ll have to design the looks yourself. Sometimes other creative designers will have sketches and concepts planned out for you\u2014other times you\u2019ll have to read the script, do your own research, and come up with a look that suits the character perfectly. Sometimes you may also be involved in creating the specialized props, wigs, and prosthetics needed to create a special character.<\/p>\n\n<p>During filming, you\u2019ll be on set early to do the actors\u2019 makeup before shooting starts. And remember, shooting certainly doesn\u2019t follow a nine-to-five schedule! If the script of your fantasy movie calls for a scene shot at sunrise, you might find yourself up very, <i>very<\/i> early in the morning to spend three hours applying an actor\u2019s prosthetics and makeup. Then you\u2019ll stick around during filming to do touch ups as needed throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_325116935_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Actress dressed as Audrey Hepburn\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_325116935_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_325116935_ed-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>Filming tends to be a long process, which means you\u2019re also responsible for making sure a character\u2019s look stays consistent. Remembering to take pictures of every look\u2014and being able to recreate those looks over and over\u2014are essential skills!<\/p>\n\n<p>And you can\u2019t always expect a comfy studio to work out of. Movies featuring exotic or remote locations can mean tough travel requirements. Imagine trying to haul your kit with you to a location that\u2019s only accessible by helicopter!<\/p>\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>Well, it\u2019s not exactly a personality trait, but this is one career in makeup artistry where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/hair-styling-essentials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hair styling skills<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/special-fx-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special effects makeup<\/a> can really come in handy. While it\u2019s great to have a specialty, being able to handle anything a director might throw at you gives you way more options in the film industry!<\/p>\n\n<p>And flexibility goes beyond your makeup skills. Your work conditions won\u2019t always be ideal\u2014whether you\u2019re up super early, crunched for time, or shivering on set somewhere remote and au naturel. Directors want makeup artists who can adapt (without too much complaining) and get their work done, no matter the challenges.<\/p>\n\n<p>A special eye for detail is another big plus. Your attention has to go beyond the look itself. If you\u2019re shooting a historical drama, is the look you\u2019ve created accurate to the time period? Does the black eye you created for the lead actor match the one you made for him yesterday? Will the look you\u2019ve done turn out well on camera?<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_308973533_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Actress made up as Avatar character\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_308973533_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_308973533_ed-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>And\u2014of course\u2014there are the people skills. Movie sets can be stressful places. Long days, tough scenes, unpleasant locations, and highly-strung emotions can make even the nicest film professionals snap once in a while. The ability to calmly and politely deal with people whose manners might be not-so-great at the moment makes directors, actors, and other industry professionals want to keep working with you.<\/p>\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>Whatever your line of work, the film industry is competitive. Directors, actors, writers, costume designers, animators, and, yes, makeup artists are only a few of the people competing for jobs. Like other film professionals, movie makeup artists are often employed based on their reputation or popularity. Networking with clients, other makeup artists, and film industry professionals can help you find opportunities to start breaking into film.<\/p>\n\n<p>Consider what kind of movies you\u2019d like to work for. When you\u2019re just starting out, any movie experience can help, but figuring out your long-term goals might determine where you end up living. Don\u2019t automatically assume Hollywood\u2014smaller-scale indie films can pop up anywhere, and film industries in other countries also offer interesting opportunities.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<p>Do some research. Where are the movies you want to work on actually shot? Basing your work near a popular filming location can make you an appealing choice for directors looking to cut down on travel and accommodation expenses.<\/p>\n\n<p>Like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/03\/career-profile-the-runway-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fashion business<\/a>, the film industry is a work-your-way-up kind of deal. You\u2019ll probably start as a makeup assistant or technician, then eventually become a makeup artist or makeup effects artist once you\u2019ve got some experience under your belt. A solid work ethic, good networking skills, and high-quality makeup work can eventually land you a job as the key makeup artist who designs every look for a particular movie.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_157021055_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Actress as period fantasy character\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_157021055_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shutterstock_157021055_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=\"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>Lots of creative freedom and artistic challenges<\/li>\n<li>Opportunity to see your work on the big screen and win high-profile awards<\/li>\n<li>Wide range of work, from everyday looks to extravagant prosthetics<\/li>\n<li>Movie contracts often provide regular work for several weeks or months<\/li>\n<li>Opportunity to work with industry pros<\/li>\n<li>Freedom to experiment with new techniques and styles<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><i>The Cons:<\/i><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li>Long (and weird) hours<\/li>\n<li>Very competitive industry<\/li>\n<li>Work environment can be stressful<\/li>\n<li>Jobs may involve travel and long periods away from home<\/li>\n<li>Remote locations can mean difficult travel and less-than-ideal work setups<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>A career behind-the-scenes is a ton of work, but the payoff makes it well worth the effort.
