While Arizona does not have a makeup artist specific licensure process, you do need to earn your esthetician's or cosmetologists license to practice legally in the state. For makeup artists, we recommend looking into esthetician programs first, since they are more focused on the skills you will be using in your makeup profession. If you earn your esthetician license in Arizona, you will need to keep it up-to-date to stay in good standing. That means, renewing your license every year by your birthday.
