Overview

A Commercial Makeup artist needs to have a broad range of common skills, but can specialise in different types of makeup and application techniques in order to give a polished, flawless finish to any given brief.

They will be expected to demonstrate their skills as makeup artists within dynamic and challenging media environments, working on precise briefs, against demanding time constraints and within limited working space

The competition focuses on the role and tasks of a Commercial Makeup Artist, working to a given theme, demanding creativity and imagination, excellent attention to detail and the ability to work well under pressure – all whilst demonstrating patience, concentration and good time management.
