Training and studies to become a make-up artist
To train in make-up artistry and thus perform body painting, you can turn to a few schools offering specific training in make-up artistry leading to a BAC+1 or BAC+2. If you wish to have a diploma recognised by the State, only the Sophie Lecomte School's BAC+2 professional make-up artist certification meets this criterion, since the training is registered with the RNCP (National Directory of Professional Certification). If you wish to have a solid foundation, you can first prepare a CAP in aesthetics, cosmetics and perfumery followed by a professional certificate and why not take the professional BAC and as higher studies the BTS MECP (aesthetics, cosmetics and perfumery).
The field of intervention of a make-up artist

For events, the make-up artist generally works with a photographer to immortalise her creations and thus offer a great moment to her clients. She offers her services to individuals for occasions such as birthdays, fancy dress parties and even weddings.
Why use a make-up artist?
We can ask an artistic make-up artist to metamorphose us during a photo shoot by doing a science-fiction body painting for example. Otherwise, for an event, proposing a body painting animation (face painting and body painting) is also interesting since it can allow the guests to have more fun.
