No matter the path, one thing\u2019s for sure: you need to start by gaining experience.

Beyond that, though, the job could mean anything. Your tasks will vary between makeup jobs depending on the artist you\u2019re working for. For major gigs, an assistant might apply makeup to a few of the models themselves while following the key artist\u2019s guidelines. In many other cases,\u00a0 they\u2019re a second pair of hands, making sure the lead artist always has what they need.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-15T153933.154.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-15T153933.154.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-15T153933.154-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-15T153933.154-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-15T153933.154-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nAs an assistant makeup artist, you might have to\u2026\n<ul>\n \t<li>Help set up the key makeup artist\u2019s workstation<\/li>\n \t<li>Clean brushes and other tools<\/li>\n \t<li>Fix <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/05\/make-prosthetics-special-fx-makeup-business-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prosthetics<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li>Prep skin<\/li>\n \t<li>Run out to buy a last-minute addition to the makeup kit<\/li>\n \t<li>Hold that makeup lamp with the broken stand to make sure it\u2019s just the right height<\/li>\n \t<li>Bring the lead artist lunch during a long, busy shoot<\/li>\n \t<li>Keep social media updated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_becoming_a_makeup_artists_assistant_worth_your_time\"><\/span>Is becoming a makeup artist&#8217;s assistant worth your time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160338.152.jpg\" alt=\"clean makeup brushes in a professional makeup artist kit\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160338.152.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160338.152-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160338.152-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160338.152-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nYour job is to do whatever the key makeup artist needs you to do\u2014whether that\u2019s applying a full face of makeup yourself or running out to buy an extension cord. You can&#8217;t always count on being able to do makeup at any particular job.\n\nBut the experience you get out of your work is invaluable. You&#8217;ll get an inside look at a day in the life of an artist. Harness this experience and you can easily find yourself working next to many big-name makeup artists sooner than you think. While you won\u2019t spend all your time applying makeup, you will get an up-close look at how the pros work. You\u2019ll learn their tricks of the trade\u2014and you\u2019ll get to see how they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/02\/tough-customers-pleasing-your-pickiest-clients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deal with conflicts<\/a> and last-minute problems during at a makeup job.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assistant_etiquette_at_makeup_jobs\"><\/span>Assistant etiquette at makeup jobs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWorking as an assistant makeup artist comes along with its own rules of etiquette. And remember\u2014ideally, this isn\u2019t a one-time gig. If you click with the key artist, well, you\u2019ve just landed yourself a valuable industry connection\u2014and probably more work on future jobs. Doing your job well and keeping your attitude on point go a long way towards boosting your makeup career.\n<h3>1. No task is too small<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37669\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160559.797.jpg\" alt=\"getting coffee for key makeup artist\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160559.797.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160559.797-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160559.797-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160559.797-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nYes, we know grabbing the key artist a cup of coffee isn\u2019t a task that&#8217;ll be highlighted on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/06\/write-killer-makeup-artist-resume\/\">your makeup resume<\/a>\u2014but if it has to be done, then it has to be done. Remember: that key artist was once an assistant makeup artist themselves, doing exactly the job you\u2019re doing now. If they stuck it out, so can you!\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t be a know-it-all<\/h3>\nYou\u2019ve just finished your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/master-makeup-artistry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">makeup artistry course<\/a> and you\u2019re excited to share your knowledge and prove yourself\u2014that\u2019s great! But on-the-job as an assistant isn\u2019t always the right place to do it. Unless the key artist asks for your input, you don\u2019t want to be shouting out suggestions or\u2014even worse\u2014critiquing their methods. It makes the key artist look like they don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing. Assistants are supposed to work with key makeup artists, not against them.\n<h3>3. Know what you\u2019re there for<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T162812.016.jpg\" alt=\"assistant makeup artist job is to provide help to lead artist\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T162812.016.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T162812.016-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T162812.016-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T162812.016-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nAs an assistant makeup artist, your number-one priority is the key artist. You\u2019re not there for the client, director, or photographer\u2014you\u2019re there to make sure the key artist has what they need. Sometimes you may end up working with other people on the set or behind the scenes, but keep your focus in mind. That means going to the key artists with any questions about the job, too\u2014going right to the client, director, or photographer makes it look like the key artist can\u2019t communicate properly.\n<h3>4. Watch your networking<\/h3>\nWorking as an assistant makeup artist is an awesome chance to make industry connections\u2014but be careful. You don\u2019t want to seem like you\u2019re \u201ccompeting\u201d with your key artist. Arriving on set and handing out business cards to everyone in sight is a pretty big no-no. If you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s okay and what\u2019s not, ask your key. You may want to wait until you\u2019ve done a few jobs for them and feel a little more comfortable working with them.\n<h3>5. Know when to be creative<\/h3>\nMakeup artists are creative, but there\u2019s a time and a place for showing your stuff. Once again\u2014you\u2019re there to help out the key artist. If you do end up applying makeup yourself, that means sticking to their concept\u2014not trying to show off. Creative problem solving, on the other hand, is a different story. If you can figure out a way to get that oh-so-important spare lightbulb at 3:00 a.m. on a Sunday, your key artist is sure to be impressed.\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37670\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160944.644.jpg\" alt=\"makeup assistant applying makeup with lead makeup artist at a professional makeup job\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160944.644.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160944.644-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160944.644-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-08-14T160944.644-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Where can I find a makeup job as an assistant?<\/h3>\nLike any other makeup artist job, finding work as an assistant artist takes persistence.
