Hi Victoria

I am a big fan of bronzer & have always bought the Estee Lauder (natural fibre) bronzer brush.
Yesterday I went into my pharmacy advising I was looking for something non synthetic, but cheaper than Estee Lauder.
I walked out with a gorgeous soft Elizabeth Arden brush .. but when I got home found the packaging said it was synthetic.
I’m not sure if I should take it back.
Why are natural fibred brushes better than synthetic?
Do you think I would be happy with the Eliz Arden bronzer brush?

Hi Sami,

Going to a makeup school is a great idea, it could be a good place to network and of course, perfect your skills.

I do think, however, getting an experience in a big city like LA (which is close to Phoenix) or New York, will open your doors into ond day doing makeup for celebrities. Sometimes you need to be where it’s at.

You need to make a decision to how far you want to go with your dream to become a makeup artist. Remember, there is nothing in this world you cannot do!!! You just need to do it, do whatever it takes, and never give up:)

This is just my humble opinion….good luck with everything…and keep us posted:)

Hi, I’m 19 years old and for as long as I can remember I have been interested in all aspects of make-up. I would love to become a make-up artist but am not sure how to start pursuing that as a career. I have investigated some schools in my area, I live in Phoenix. Some people have told me to try and become an apprentice that I don’t need to go to school. Others have said absolutley go to school. Would love for any kind of avvice that you would be able to give me. I’am checking into the Arizona Skin and Make-up Institute in Glendale Az. I so appreciate your time .
