L- Have a creative imagination and a strong visual sense.
I- it's really hard to always be on the spot creativley. Sometimes you get stuck so you have to practice somewhat at improving your creativity and originality if you want to survive in this business.
L- Be methodical and pay attention to detail
I- Detail is key, if you can't convince yourself that what your looking. At is real then how are you suppose to convince others?
L- You need to be 21 years of age to be considered for training for TV and film work. This training will take you a further year. FT2, however, trains junior freelance make-up artists for TV and film work from the age of 18 as long as they already have NVQ Level 2 in both Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy.
I- 21? Not really. I've gotten work with films and I'm not even 18.
