My daughter is a makeup artist in NYC , she went to make up school in Dublin , then landed an inturn job for a year in Juilliards she was 20 back then. She worked very Hard and did jobs for free , 9 years later she is a top NYC make up designer , in 2016 she was nominated for best makeup artist in a mini series , she lost out to American Horror Story , but doors kept opening up for her , her last big job was designing the makeup for a Broadway Musical in 2018 , she is on the Playbill to 3 major cities , and only works now on top stars in th A list . I can’t meention her name but MAC makeup did a very big arrival on her . She makes very good money which she can afford a place on her own and take holidays when ever she has down time . It’s Hardwork and many artist aren’t so lucky , so if your going to do it , you must dedicate your life to it and make contacts. Best of luck
