Makeup Artist vs. Similar Roles
Makeup artists, cosmetologists, and estheticians are not interchangeable titles. A makeup artist focuses specifically on applying makeup. Meanwhile, cosmetologists work with the overall appearance, including hair, skin, and nails. Lastly, estheticians help with skincare, providing facials, full-body treatments, massages, and more.
