State License Requirements
N/A

To become a makeup artist in New Jersey, you will need to earn your esthetician’s license. These types of programs will give you a solid foundation in makeup, plus facial and skin science knowledge that can be helpful in your makeup career. Plus, esthetician programs tend to be shorter than cosmetology programs, which also cover hair and nail topics that aren’t related to makeup. But, if those areas appeal to you, then maybe cosmetology could be the better option.

Education Details

Finding the right makeup artist program can be tricky, and requires a close examination of your course and program options. Since makeup artistry is a broad field, many programs focus on certain areas, while others may cover all the bases. When you speak with advisors at New Jersey makeup and cosmetology schools, tell them your goals and ask how their courses prepare you for employment in the role you want.
