Call the Board Of Cosmetology in your state and ask them. In Louisiana, we have a "makeup permit" that can be obtained from attended a couple different academies. Most states aren't like that though I'm pretty sure. Being a cosmetologist or an esti usually means you are automatically legal to do makeup. Your best bet is to call the board, specifically ask for the person over makeup, and ask them.

Yeah it depends on your state, you'd have to checkout the laws on that.
I live in Washington and there isn't a specific license to be a makeup artist. I just finished up with cosmetology and work with the salon I was taught at

You don't need a license to be a makeup artist. But it really helps to go to school to have an easier time building a network and building confidence in your craft.
