General Information On Freelance Makeup Artists

By Krystal Branch


Makeup artists are professionals who use the human body as their canvas. More specifically, the face is their canvas and makeup is their medium. Often times these individuals are hired to do work for film, fashion, theatre, magazines, television and other such productions. They may also be responsible for work in the modeling industry. Freelance makeup artists are those who act as independent contractors.

Some of these people do freelance work as a side job for extra money. Often times this is done as side work and may not interfere with what they do as a full-time job. Most production companies do hire artists for in-house work and add them to their payroll. However, there are other companies that may opt to hire freelancers as they need them for various projects.

There are numerous techniques that are used when it comes to application of these products. The action of doing this is considered an art form. The methods employed will depend on many factors. Airbrushing, bridal, high definition, special effects, theatrical and fashion are some of the main categories of makeup application. These each have their own purpose and an artist may be an expert within a certain category.

Those interested in hiring these professionals should make sure to look over their work beforehand. Most of them will have a website or portfolio to showcase previous works and highlight experience. It is also recommended to talk about pricing early on, as these freelancers are known to set their own price. Sometimes the cost is based on the number of clients, style of work done, type of products applied or time that the job requires.

Fashion makeup refers to that which is commonly done with magazine photography kept in mind. It may also be done solely for runway and fashion shows. This kind of application may also be seen in television and film. It is sometimes extremely natural and simple or very sophisticated and elaborate. Bridal is the style done for weddings. Usually this involves working on multiple clients, such as the bride and her bridesmaids. These looks are expected to differ in many ways and are often determined by the requests of the clients.

When it comes to high definition, multiple ingredients and light reflections are utilized to get a flawless look. Theatrical or stage makeup is usually done in a way to accommodate the lighting on stage. The way the stage lighting is set up has a major impact on how the products are applied. This style is often done with the intention to highlight the face of an actor, making their expressions more visible to people sitting at a distance in the audience.

Special effects may involve the application of prosthetics, plaster casting and similar accents. Usually these are elaborate. Airbrushing is done to give a clean and smooth appearance. The application process involves spraying the products on the body or face.

Often times the best professionals are those individuals who have received education and training in application. It is also preferred when they have experience. Freelance makeup artists may find it hard to get work until they are able to build a portfolio, good reputation and client list.
