So I don't have my license but I think this is a good piece of advice: Be sure to research your schools thoroughly and think about how much you enjoy applying makeup. Practice on other people and think if you could do that for hours at a time... also commuting is a must as a makeup artist. If you won't travel then I wouldn't recommend going into this profession. :)
