Where a make-up artist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a make-up artist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Make-up artists assist and support artists before, during and after the performance and filming of movies or television programs to ensure the make-up is in line with the artistic vision of the director and the artistic team. They create images and characters through make-up and prosthetics. They maintain, check and repair prosthetics and assist with quick changes.
