If you're serious about becoming a professional makeup artist, going to school is a great option to consider. There are tons of different programs across the country—do your homework and find out which is best for you. One such school is the Make Up For Ever Academy in New York, which, according to Simone, covers just about everything: "We offer a master program, which is comprised of four levels: beauty, fashion, TV and film, and stage and artistic. This is a six month-program that provides a certification upon completion. The Academy also offers intensive programs that range from one to seven weeks."
