What Experts Say About Makeup Artists and Their Profession

In one of the interviews, renowned makeup artist, Donald Simrock emphasised that celebrities are more about their talents, but it’s equally important to enhance their features. He added, “it’s important to make them shine from outside”.

When asked about the career prospects of makeup artists in India, he claimed, “Bollywood is an immense market for makeup artists as it represents the country of individuals who are aware of their culture and style.”

The celebrity makeup artist has worked with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Eva Mendes, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Upton among others.

I think this short excerpt, cited from the interview, also sheds some light on why people in huge numbers are opting for makeup artist courses in Mumbai.

In our fast and furious world, where everyone wants to stay ahead, people need that oozing confidence and yearn for that perfect looks. In addition to that, the recent boom in the entertainment industry in India, the demand for makeup artists has reached new heights.

How exciting this [profession] is where you find yourself surrounded by celebrities and renowned personalities. Apart from celebrities, regular office goers, college students and even housewives have become quite conscious about their appearance. Meaning, a good makeup artist is in demand everywhere.

Therefore, enrolling in courses to become a makeup artist does make sense. Someone has rightly said that “It is the beauty that captures your attention; personality captures your heart.” This common human fallacy doesn’t leave makeup artists to sit jobless.

Since everyone cannot master this art, one needs strong imagination, understanding and hard work. And, to pursue a career in cosmetology, you don’t need to go for an elaborative academic course. However, a professional course will help you get an edge over the others. To build a career in this field, you can do specialisation in makeup under any major academy.

Owing to the rising demands of makeup artists various makeup academies have sprouted in the market, but you need to opt for the one that believes in the true values and aesthetics of the profession. “It’s about portraying the best in public. I have no personal favourite amongst my clients. It’s unfair to claim one is better than other. All are different from each other. Every individual has a special quality,“ said Simrock.

BHI Makeup Academy is a world-class makeup and hair academy which offers makeup classes in Mumbai. It’s a place where you learn from industry experts, such as Donald Simrock, from Bollywood, Hollywood and the international makeup industry.
