I'm CIBTAC and CIDESCO qualified and this has cost me £13,000, during training we touched on make-up slightly but not enough in my opinion as i want to become a make-up artist also - more for tv work, models, films, bridal etc I don't really want to do prosthetics. I don't really want to pay a lot for another qualification but feel that i should be more qualified to advertise myself as being a make-up artist, what would you suggest that has good training or is it not needed as long as I'm good at make-up. Also so I don't make loads of posts - if I've got a beauty room in my house what kind of insurance do I need for facials, massages , man ,ped, wax. Thanks for your help!

Hi i had exactly the same problem when i finished college (infact i think we went to the same college lol) I didnt feel that i had had enough lessons in make up to be let loose on the public, so i dont offer it now 
If you want to do bridal i am sure there are specific courses for this, but i think for tv work and models you may need more training. Sorry im not being much help am i! But i was in the same position as you so i hope you pursue it!!
As for the insurance get in touch with some insurance companies for quotes, i am with Axa but there are loads.

Hi
During my training i went an did a three day course with a make up artist who offered a certificate at the end. It was more about getting to grips with make up looks than qualifications. I found it a great help and it gave me more confidence. I went home and started practising on anyone i could get my hands on!!!:lol:
