Think you’re too old to become a makeup artist? Think again!

Ever worried about being ‘too old’ to become a makeup artist?? Ever assumed you have to be super glamorous, have a model thin figure and wear all the latest looks makeup wise, to work successfully as a makeup artist?? Guess what – no you don’t! Pictured here are some of the most successful makeup artists still currently working. I love how they are just normal women, who don’t feel any pressure to be anyone but themselves and are working at the top of their game, who have won oscars, are in demand by A list celebrities, photographers and directors world wide; who in the case of Pat McGrath, has built a multi billion dollar business based purely on her skill and knowledge as a makeup artist. Don’t put off your dream of following a life long love or passion of makeup, simply because you think you have to be young to do this career – you SO totally don’t!
