Many people ask Terri how to get started as a makeup artist. Her answer is always the same, "Study, learn and practice, practice, practice!" This is true for both new and existing artists. First comes light and color theory. Having an understanding of color theory and how to work it in skin is the most important thing to know. Then, develop technical skill in application and learn about the products you use. From there it is about studying the different aspects of makeup artistry and practice!

Being a makeup artist is more than putting makeup on a face with a series of steps, it is about understanding that the face is the canvas. It is knowing how to perfect that face and create your vision. To have a vision you need creativity, application is about SKILL!.
