Makeup Artist

The ALLIANCE of INTERNATIONAL MAKEUP ARTISTS known as A•I•M•A is collaborating with cosmetics firms and fashion stylists. We provide internationally recognized qualifications for proficiency in professional make-up application techniques. What makes our qualifications special? Our qualifications are aimed specifically at make-up application for make-up artists – they are not vague ‘beauty’ qualifications for therapists or beauticians. We have a modern approach with realistic and contemporary criteria that are relevant to today’s make-up industry. Who do we serve? We provide an industry benchmark for make-up artists and those who want to employ make-up artists. To hold a qualification, you must first have achieved a high level of skill in your field, thereby a potential employer or agent can be assured of your talent and credentials. For the qualified make-up artist, we offer a referral resource – simply agree to have an email link from our site and potential employers can reach you and you can follow up jobs that are posted on the Jobs board. Who uses our qualifications? Most fashion make-up house who employ counter staff would require a recognized independent qualification to show that the employee has the basic level of understanding in hygiene, application and client care. Any professional who wishes to receive insurance for public liability or against loss or damage to equipment such as your make-up kit through AiMA you must hold a recognized qualification through an independent awarding body.
