What careers involve beauty and makeup and skin care?


I just discovered there are skin care specialists. I want that to be my job. As well as writing a book. It makes sense, to me, anyway. I love makeup and beauty and stuff, I'm always looking for new skin care treatments (Tip: Take a squirt bottle of green tea, spray your face when you when up and when you go to bed. Thank me later) and it interests me. I don't know if this is normal for 13 year olds, but I can never imagine myself in a "normal" job. They just don't interest me. But beauty? Love it. S, what are all the careers that have to do with that that you can think of?

You should go to beauty school and get your license in esthetics.
Esthestics is for skin care (facials, massage, waxing, makeup application...) Its everything you would be interested in. When you graduate, depends on where you live, in NY its a 600 hour course, you have to take your boards- a governmental test, practical and written in order to become licensed.
Good luck!

There are several beauty related jobs.

Beauty Advisor:
A beauty advisor is someone who learns a lines specific products ( mac, clarins, clinique, etc) and teaches people how to apply those products, helps them find the best products for their skin type, and sell them the product. You are responsible for sales goals and reaching sales quotas. This is a good money making job if you don't mind retail hours and are good at sales. Beauty advisors are not makeup artists because they lack professional training, you are trained by the brand only to do makeup and skincare their way to sell more product.

Esthetician:
Estheticians are licensed skincare professionals. To become an Esthetician you go to cosmetology school and take their esthetics track. (fyi estheticians do skincare, cosmetologists do hair). The hours you must have varies by state. It can be anywhere form 400 to 1200 hours. This career path has you working in spas giving facials, waxing, eyebrow shaping, and doing body treatments. If you are more into skincare then makeup then this is the career path for you.

Para-Medical Esthetician:
This is an advanced level esthetician. You must first be licensed by your state as an esthetician then you can go for additional schooling to perform more advanced skincare like high level chemical peels, laser facials, laser hair removal, and anything else new at the time that is considered more advanced. These estheticians usually work in med spas under the guidance of a dermatologist. You work more with plastic surgery patients (giving them lymphatic drainage massage after surgeries, or helping them heal their skin) and patients who want dramatic anti-aging or skin correcting results. If you are interested in the medical side of skincare but don't want to commit to being a dermatologist then this is a great career path.

Dermatologist:
This is a specific skin doctor. You must be a licensed doctor who then specializes in skin in med school. These doctors cover anything from anti-aging to skin diseases and skin cancers. Dermatologist are typically the ones with enough medical background in skin to write books on skin and are the ones who really set the tone for the skincare industry since most skincare must be dermatologist tested or approved. This one requires a large commitment in the schooling area. It takes anywhere from 8-9 years of college to get this degree but in the beauty industry this is the highest paying job for those interested in skincare.

Professional Makeup Artist:
Professional Makeup Artist deal with skin in the aspect that they must know the basics of skin to know how to cover and deal with skin issues when working professionally but other than that their specialty is really the art of makeup. Makeup artists attend professional makeup schools such as MUD in Los Angeles, or Complections in Canada. You work on anything from movie sets to runways to weddings. If you are artistic and love color, people, and all things makeup then this is a good career path.

Things to remember with your schooling so you don't waste valuable education time:
Dermatologists go to Med school
Estheticians go to cosmetology schools
Para medical estheticians go to cosmetology schools then sign up for additional advanced level classes after graduation to receive their Para Medical certification.
Beauty Advisors are trained by the makeup counter and do not attend schooling.
Makeup artists attend makeup school (not cosmetology schools because they usually only teach a day or a week of makeup courses by non professional artists )
Cosmetologists do hair and attend Cosmetology schools as well.
