<p>The thing is, to become a make-up artist, you don’t need a cosmetology license, just a certificate. It’s mostly freelance work, or else you might need to have additional tests to qualify for certain theater/union jobs… You only need a cosmetology license to work in a salon and the like…</p>
<p>But I don’t want to go to cosmetology school because they spend a really small amount…like only 25 hours total, on make-up chemistry. Whereas this place does teach about the things you mentioned, and you get way more hours, as in hundreds, and from esteemed professionals who have lots of experience.</p>
<p>I have no interest in doing hair, and would find it boring/wasteful to spend my whole time learning how to dye, cut, and permanent wave hair when I’m interested in stage/special effects make-up…</p>
<p>And I can’t find any other schools that offer that…</p>
