Looking good is no longer just for getting good compliments, it has now become a worthwhile investment with promising returns for people that love to pay attention to their general outlook as it helps them to seal business deals, attract more customers because of their irresistible outlook.
More than ever before, both men and women are spending more time and money on personal body care services. This is indeed a good one for the beauty industry, as the industry has metamorphosed into a thriving one.
There are quite a number of professionals in the beauty industry whose jobs are to provide and care for the general outlook of a person. Among these professionals are Make-up Artist, Beautician, Fashion Stylist, to mention but a few.
Today, our spotlight is shone on the comparison between a Make-up Artist and a Beautician, because there has been an existing view that the two professions are the same. Although both are beautiful and work side by side in the beauty and glamour industry, they are not the same.
A Makeup Artist is a professional whose job is all about the general outlook of a client for an occasion whether movies, fashion shows, ceremonies or just personal use. The artist uses makeup products to enhance the beauty of a client to its max and dresses them up according to the occasion. They understand the skin and colors really well.
As the name implies, Makeup artists belong to the creative industry, hence they have to be extremely creative, diverse and innovative. They are very essential in the movie industry as they provide glamorous makeup, and special-effect makeup for actors and actresses that will define the character being portrayed. For example, they can create the appearance of old age on a young and agile actor, or use feathers to create a fantasy creature, and might apply prosthetic pieces to the actor’s face or body, to create effects like pointed ears for a pixie or furry werewolf face and hands.
To become a professional Makeup Artist, there are courses to take that would teach the candidate the practical knowledge and basic makeup techniques with the aim of empowering the candidate to get a basic job or establish his/her makeup outfit. Becoming a Makeup Artist does not have any perquisites of university education.
As a makeup artist, one can land up a basic paying job with a salon or a spa or get hired by a film unit or a television channel at best, or may set up their own business as an entrepreneur.
On the other hand, a Beautician is a trained professional beauty care provider that uses cosmetology techniques to provide a general well-being of the skin, hair, nail, and perform beauty treatments for their clients in a salon or spa setting. They are experts in skin and hair treatment, threading, tan removal, exfoliation of the skin, hair therapy and massage strokes.
Beauticians who are also called cosmetologists know basic haircut, hair spa and treatments for hair fall and dandruff, hair coloring, exfoliation and extraction and complete skin care. They squeeze pimples and pluck hair from the face and the body, including people’s nether regions.
Unlike the Makeup Artist, Beauticians don’t fall under the “Artist” category as there is no element of creativity involved in their job. They only follow a methodical procedure to carry out their job.
Beauticians generally need a professional certificate in cosmetology which may take a minimum of nine months to complete in a typical beauty school. They get trained in a variety of treatments, including nail care, facials and hair removal and general skin care.
Many Beauticians are self-employed, renting space in a salon or spa or even opening their own establishments or may get employed in a beauty establishment.
In conclusion, the efforts of these two beauty professions are synergized to give an attractive smashing and glittering outlook on a person. So for your next wedding Owanbe this weekend, you may consider employing the services of a Beautician and a Makeup Artist to give you that irresistible outlook that is capable of making you steal the attention from the bride of the day.
