Zombaes, I don't know why that became a thing.

today we are going to talk about the question

I get more than anything else and I know what you're thinking. It's Mikey

But that is not it. The question that I get more than anything is

How to get started in makeup as a profession, what advice would I have to start it as a career?

How did you get started yourself stuff like that it's–ok, so that's a lot of questions

But you get the general gist I think in telling my story of how I got started

A lot of my advice will kind of come through in that a lot of people tell me that watching my videos helped

Start their passion for makeup and wanting to create a career out of it

So I hope that this helps some of you who are wondering what to do now that you have this sort of

Basis of knowledge where do you take it from here? How do you take it from a hobby to a job?

I also have something very cool to share with you at the end of this video

So make sure you watch till the very end or else or else you just won't see it

Ok let's get started. I have a dog hair on my nose and on my hands

So my first technical job as a makeup artist was on the set of a short film for a friend of mine while we were

In film school together he was doing his senior thesis he needs some 60's style makeup

He thought that I was good at my own makeup so he asked could I do it on someone else

which I had very little confidence in but I practiced on a friend I decided to do the makeup for the short film

I did it for free because we're all broke students that just helped each other out and that was technically my first

Being a makeup artist, though I would not have called myself that at the time

My first paid job was when I get hired at a Mac counter and a Macy's Williger of Pennsylvania

I kind of got suggested to interview by a friend who worked at the Clinique counter across the way and

They they asked me if I'd interview at the Mac counter which I thought was really nice

But that I wouldn't get the job because I didn't really know what I was doing on anyone else

except for myself I knew how to do my own makeup

Although my eyebrows were very questionable back then they're still questionable some days

But you know but back then I did not think I had the skill set to be a Mac makeup artist however

I rarely turned down opportunities to challenge myself, so I said I'd love to interview

I had a two-part interview where after the first one the manager at that counter was like I want to see

What the regional trainer thinks of you because even though you're very new to doing makeup

I think that he's very good at judging whether someone has the ability to pick up the skill quickly so I did a second interview

And I was so fresh to makeup at this point that I actually

Asked the manager of this Mac counter if I was allowed to touch my models face to do her makeup

Because I wasn't even sure if there was some kind of unspoken rule

That when you are the makeup artist applying makeup to someone else if you're allowed to physically touch their face with your skin

I thought maybe you had to do all the makeup using only brush to skin contact

No like if you need to raise their eyebrows or something or touch anywhere on their face to get the makeup done

You can do that. That was foreign to me. That's how green I was so again

It's amazing that I ended up getting the job

But the regional trainer said that I learned very very quickly and that he saw a lot of potential in me

So they gave me the job and and that was the beginning of it

so I have a lot to actually thank to the manager their names Liz Bonnie pile is thank you so much for giving me a

Job and believing in me when I how many other people would have but that that vote of confidence from them

Helped me so much then I worked at Mac for three years

I learned a lot there just by observing and repeatedly working on customers over and over and over

They all had different skin types skin shades they all had different

Requests some people liked very little makeup some people wanted full glam so I really got the gamut of what?

People were looking for at least when they came to a Mac counter while I was working at Mac

I also applied for my first FX job at Eastern State Penitentiary, which if you don't know is this really?

Old-ass abandoned prison well its not abandoned, now it's the thing it's like a historical site

But it's no longer a functioning prison in the middle of Philadelphia like it's like row homes businesses

Prison stuff it's really cool. Actually if you're ever in Philly. I highly recommend

You go see it because it is creepy, and it's cool

And it's really old and Al Capone used to have a cell there, and and it's just crazy

And they say it's haunted so if you like ghost hunting maybe try that out

But I mean I worked there for a couple years

And I used to walk the cellblocks alone by myself

And the dark at night same like "come at me bro" to the ghost and nothing

Maybe they were just intimidated by me, but I don't know I'm not really sold anyway

I got a job there as my first job doing special effects makeup and

For that that was another tricky thing where I'm really happy someone took a chance on me and hired me

I had done on myself years prior where I did gory stuff, but it was very amateur. It was very um

It was very amateur. I wasn't taught in any formal sense at any point

so it was always just what I experimented with I might have fudged my

My application a little where I lied and said that I had worked with

There was like a section mix play. There's a section that was like have you heard of or used skin illustrator?

Truth be told I had only really worked with latex prosthetics. I didn't know what bondo was or pros-aide or skin illustrator

So when I applied and it said that I essentially needed to know these things to get the job

I said that I knew all of those things that I was familiar with them that I'd used them before and

Then I did a ton of research to figure out exactly what those things were

So that when it came time for the in-person interview

Could actually respond in a way that showed that I did know what I was talking about I knew that there was an opportunity for

So I knew that it wasn't vital that I knew the ins and outs of everything that they teach you they trained you there

so I kind of kind of lied that I knew some stuff that I didn't and then I learned it so I feel like that's

What I'm trying to say is don't think that just because you are not

It doesn't mean that you can't learn to be it doesn't mean that you shouldn't still try it because someone might take a chance on

You and then they might be able to teach you in that job
