However, makeup artistry isn&#8217;t like driving because you don&#8217;t always need a license everywhere.\n\nMakeup licensing boards exist, but they aren\u2019t the be-all and end-all of the makeup industry. Not every region or state requires practicing makeup artists to possess a license! Depending on where you are, you might even be able to set up a makeup business without any formal training\u2014but we definitely <strong>don\u2019t <\/strong>recommend it! Working on clients when you have no experience can only end in disaster.\n\nSo, what does all this mean for you? You\u2019ll need to do some research to figure out if you\u2019re affected by licensing in your area&#8230;.\n<h3>Do I need a makeup license?<\/h3>\nMost makeup artists don\u2019t know if they need a license when they&#8217;re just starting out since the rules vary from place to place. When you\u2019re starting your career as a makeup artist, do your research into local regulations. Sometimes, all you have to do to get your makeup license is to pass an exam.\u00a0While the internet is a great source of information, oftentimes government regulations can be a bit confusing. We suggest calling your local government and speaking directly with someone about makeup regulations in your area.\n<h3>What if I do need one?<\/h3>\nIf you find out that you do need a license to practice makeup artistry, get some makeup training! The study materials for licensing exams generally do not go into enough detail about makeup artistry techniques to give you a well-rounded education.\n\nWhat licensing exams do, mainly, is ensure the safety of professionals and customers by covering topics like hygiene and sanitation. Although you\u2019ll cover these in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your makeup artistry classes<\/a>, it\u2019s important to show the licensing board that you know your stuff!\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T145059.002.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup artistry professional makeup student\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T145059.002.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T145059.002-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T145059.002-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T145059.002-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_License_vs_Makeup_Certification\"><\/span>Makeup License vs. Makeup Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nCheck out these key differences between a license and a certification before deciding on a makeup course.\n<h3>Makeup Artist Licenses<\/h3>\nLicensed makeup artists generally take training through cosmetology schools. Cosmetology and esthetics programs will go beyond just makeup. Expect extensive training in doing permanent chemical treats to hair, skin, and nails. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/08\/makeup-artists-vs-cosmetologists-and-estheticians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cosmetologists and estheticians<\/a>\u00a0must attend state-certified licensing schools where the makeup portion of their education is lumped into these courses.\n\nThe downfall? Learning makeup artistry as a subset of cosmetology doesn\u2019t provide focused education about the makeup industry. You\u2019ll learn some basic practices and techniques, but you won&#8217;t get the in-depth makeup education necessary to be a master in the art. In these programs, you&#8217;ll graduate ready to make hair or skin your primary service, not makeup.\n\nIt might be worth it to be licensed as a cosmetologist if you want to pursue more than just makeup, but keep in mind that <em>a lot\u00a0<\/em>of experienced cosmetologists take additional makeup courses to refine their skills!\n<h3>Makeup Artist Certifications<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T150359.227.jpg\" alt=\"everyday makeup look\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T150359.227.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T150359.227-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T150359.227-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-14T150359.227-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nGetting certified as a professional makeup artist can do wonders for your makeup business. Essentially, it&#8217;s proof that you&#8217;ve dedicated your effort and time into refining your skillset. Depending on your career goals, you may take an array of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/#specialty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specialty courses<\/a> that can help you define your niche in the industry. Having a physical certificate from an accredited makeup school to show clients and employers is an amazing confidence booster. Plus, with schools going online these days, you have a wider and more affordable selection of makeup courses!\n\n<strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re starting your own makeup business, having special training can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/02\/will-makeup-artist-certification-boost-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">help you boost your makeup salary!<\/a>\n<h3>Which one is best?<\/h3>\nAgain, it comes down to what you want for your makeup career as well as what your locality says you need to have to become a makeup artist. If you want to do makeup and hairdressing, you&#8217;ll likely need a cosmetologist license. However, some regions state a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/05\/hair-dressing-vs-hair-styling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">difference between hair styling and hairdressing<\/a>. You may not even need a license after all!\n\nTo become a successful makeup artist, your priority should lie in finding a course that emphasizes practical experience. Knowing makeup theory isn\u2019t always enough to create the perfect winged liner! Constant practice will improve your skills only if you are using the right techniques. So make sure you find a course that emphasizes both theory and hard skills\u2014you can thank us later![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Did we miss any details?
