Make Up Artist

All art needs a place to be seen or experienced, and in the world of makeup artistry that canvas is the human body. 

+ A makeup artist uses many different types of media:

+ Makeup

+ Paint

+ Hair

+ Prosthetics

+ Molds and Casts

These items help the artist to create a work of art using a human form - by enhancing that person’s beauty or appearance, or by creating an entirely different fantasy-based appearance or effect.
