Fab Job Guide to Become a Makeup Artist

[TIERAsta]

Okay, so like a total dork I actually ordered this book. I had it for a while before I actually dove in to it. And you know what? It's pretty good. I think it was like $30 (sounds pricey), but it comes with a PDF copy of the book and a a hard copy with a CD (I haven't popped it into my computer yet, so I'm not sure on the DVD).

It covers everything from MU kits, application, training methods, job interviews, freelancing, starting your own business, agencies, unions... and of course some success stories in the back. It also has links to a TON of different resources.

If you're willing to spend $30 on a book, it's a pretty good read and pretty helpful.

PS - There's stuff in there for all you Canadiens too!

Its worth the $30 in my opinion.. especially to have a hard copy to reference.
