Idaho only requires makeup artists to hold a certificate, not a full license. This involves a very short training session, a fee, and registration with the board.
However, makeup artists can only do specific tasks without a cosmetology or esthetician license. Learn more about what Idaho makeup artists can do, what their training includes, when to consider a license, and how much you could potentially earn.

What Makeup Artists in Idaho Can Do
In Idaho, makeup artists can perform noninvasive skincare treatments. This includes cleaning the skin and using cosmetics for covering or beautification. Essentially, if you could do a makeup treatment out of your house without getting highly specialized equipment, chances are you don't need an Idaho beauty license.
If you want to provide more extensive beauty treatments, you need a cosmetology or esthetician license. A cosmetology license would allow you to perform makeup, hair, nail, and other typical beauty treatments. Estheticians in Idaho focus on skincare in their training and careers.
