the stuff makeup school didn't cover
8 Things That Will Get You Your First Film Set Makeup Job.
- 30 years on film and TV sets, and one thing I kept noticing: nobody tells new makeup artists how this stuff actually works.
Makeup school teaches you the craft.
Nobody teaches you how to get in the room.
This guide covers the eight things that actually determine whether you land
your first film and TV makeup job - and none of them are about how
talented you are.
What You'll Discover inside:
- Why talent is not what gets you hired (and what does)
- Who actually does the hiring - and how to find them
- The kit question you'll be asked, and how to answer it with confidence
- How to write the message that actually gets a response
- What to do when you finally get your foot in the door
