Makeup Artist Questions...Certificate? Classes? Etc.?

So I want to become a makeup artist, but not in a salon or anything, just freelance stuff. I don't know very much about makeup right now, but it just intrigues me. :]





What kind of classes do I need to take? Can I take them online?


Also, I know that when you take the classes you get a certificate...what is this certificate called? I found a online cosmetology school and just want to make sure its not a scam. This is the link: http://www.nomausa.com/NOMAcademy.html





Anyway, how does this whole program work? Please answer. I'll choose a best answer. If you need more details, just answer with your question and I'll post extra details. :]Makeup Artist Questions...Certificate? Classes? Etc.?
Don't do a Online school. It won't be recongized by the state board. You need the class time hours, and the experiance with real clients. It's a hands on course. The ';certificate'; in the US is called a License. But anywhere else, Like in the UK or Australia, It's called Certificate, as far as I know. You can take a Esthetics course, which is skin, and also includes make up. In most states, You don't need a license for make up, and can probley take a few classes at your local Cosmetology school...There is also a few Make up Schools out there too. Just look around, and google it...There is one in California(I think it is.), called M.U.D. or something like that.Makeup Artist Questions...Certificate? Classes? Etc.?
