For this project I am considering doing something that relates to the career field of makeup design. In the field of makeup design, makeup artists must create different looks based on a given theme or idea. Usually makeup design is used for fashion shows or film industry related projects. Makeup artists will usually create a set “look” for models and actors in order to relate to the theme of a film or fashion show. In order to work in makeup design a person must know what colors work together, how to apply makeup and have a creative outlook. To be in makeup design, makeup artists must first go to cosmetology school to learn how to work with different types of makeup and styles. Normally most cosmetology programs last about two years depending on the school and course work. Most makeup artists in makeup design work in theatrical projects or in the film industry. Those that are in “stage makeup” jobs make about an annual salary of 50,000. In order to get started in this field most makeup artists create a portfolio showing their different “looks” on models. A typical day in this field of work consists of consulting with clients, creating or following a makeup theme. If the event they’re working for has a given time period or unusual theme a makeup artist might have to do research to be able create an overall look. I n order to convey the artistic side of makeup design I want to create an envelope to mail that shows a makeup face template that uses bright color schemes in order to grab the attention of any potential employer. I would also like to do some sort of three dimensional object, such as a makeup box, that’s small enough to mail. The makeup box could have contact information as well as small “thumbnails” of different “looks”.
