I\u2019ve always pondered the idea of the self-taught makeup artist. Self-taught makeup artists require months and years of study, practice, and experimentation. Their resources include trusted makeup manuals and guides penned by the masters in the field. It is a rigorous study of learning techniques and putting them into practice on an arsenal of diverse clients.<\/h4>\n

In this day and age, that definition has slackened. Those who\u2019ve developed a keen ability to duplicate, stroke by stroke, copies of the \u201clooks\u201d of social media influencers, now call themselves self-taught artists. I would like to shine a light on what it means to be a qualified, professional makeup artist.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Here’s some food for thought on the term and the validity of a \u201cself-taught artist\u201d.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”accent-color” custom_height=”75″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”33652″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” delay=”250″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]\n
