I want to change career & become a makeup artist. Can anyone recommend Delamar or Greasepaint courses?

I am 25 %26amp; based in the UK. Make up's always been my greatest hobby and used to work for Dior when I was younger but since my husband bought me an evening course I can't stop thinking about pursuing a full time career. I want to make sure I choose my course wisely and was thinking about the 14 week Complete Make Up Artist course at Delamar Academy...has anyone done this or know whether it's well respected? Also, has anyone changed their career this way and how long does it take to get paid work? Also these full courses seem to have Prosthetics as a module and fashion as an extra option, is it necessary to have Prosthetics experience or would fashion be more beneficial?



Thanks,

i think u should post this question in a different sectionI want to change career %26amp; become a makeup artist. Can anyone recommend Delamar or Greasepaint courses?
depends on what you wan to do if its fashion make up then fashion is a good option,as you could do weddings, prosthetics is good but harder to get work in as it would mainly be used in film and TV, i don't think greasepaint is used in theatres that much anymore and actors in theatre do their own makeup TV and films use makeup artists but i think hey would rather you had more than a 14 week course, media makeup is very different, and has to be done very professionally
