Did You Know You Can Be a Makeup Pro with an Esthetics License?

When you think of esthetics, what comes to mind? Skincare, facials, spa treatments, healthy skin? While estheticians are known for their services in skincare, they are also qualified to do makeup. To be a great makeup artist, you have to understand your canvas- skin.

What is Esthetics?

Estheticians are the ones who give facials and skin care treatments, yes, but as part of becoming one you will also learn about how to do makeup on a professional level. If you want to make a career out of your passion for makeup artistry, getting licensed in esthetics is a great avenue for doing this.

What Will I Learn?

If you dream of a career in makeup, and you’re looking to get an education, the esthetics program at Robert Fiance Beauty School covers a variety of topics, including makeup. 150 hours are spent learning about the necessary skills to become a makeup professional, which is more than almost all other topics. This means that makeup is a big part of esthetics.

Another important thing that the esthetics and makeup artistry program covers is the business and professional side of working in the beauty industry.
