MI now offers HUGE tax breaks for the film industry, but tend to bring in outside people. There is a market here for brides and Last Looks does seminars in Chicago. The problem is you don't need to have a liscense in this state to do makeup. Good, because we don't have to pay for hours of ueless training in hair dye, when we'll never use it. Bad, because there is no need for schools and they cannot make money so they don't teach here.

I would rather be unregulated and not have to pay those costs. I also am super careful with cleanliness and clients. That's the most important thing. You can be a wonder, but if you're passing on Pinkeye...

Do you happen to know that number or can I find it on their website?

Make UP First School has a good reputation

Make Up First , LLC (the “School”), is currently the only comprehensive, certificate program in Illinois dedicated solely to the art of makeup.

In addition to the five core courses offered for certification, students will also be offered the opportunity to enroll in advanced classes for on-going education in the field of makeup artistry.

All courses are taught in a lecture/hands-on workshop format, thereby providing the students with much-needed application practice.

I'm really interested in reputable distance courses since I'm having a baby in 2 months. I live in Canada and the only decent places I've seen are either in Toronto or Vancouver, which isn't going to happen in the near future! lol Any suggestions?

I live in Fort Worth, and it seems like nothing is offered here! Anybody know where I can go? I'm trying to get into freelancing. Im a stay at home moomy (28) and my husband keeps pushing to get started, but have no clue where to start. I've been doing makeup on friends and family for a while and a couple of weddings but nothing I got paid for. I have a kit, just need to add more foundations. Can I start off by assisting? Anyone need help?
