Career changing help

[AshLovesTanning]

So over the last few weeks I've really had a deep thinking and chat with my family over my career.

I have been hairdressing 8 years and really established myself as one, however I LOVE beauty.

I am a spray tan tech 6 years and I love makeup, I am taking a few makeup courses to become a professional, although everyone always compliments my makeup.

To be great at makeup what should I do? I don't want to go to college as I've already done 2 years. I spoke to a girl in makeup forever, MAC and inglot and they said if you have a talent for makeup you need a few courses for confidence.

What do you think? I'm really serious about this and would love advice!

I've worked for a few well known make up brands you learn a lot from working on make up counters. You could get a job on a counter working part time. One guy I used to work with now works in TV and he was self taught. Watch videos on social media and practice as much as you can. If you wanted to do make up mobile you would need a certificate to get insurance. You can just do a short course for that. Good luck.
