The Australian makeup industry
The Australian beauty industry is rapidly growing, with its value projected to reach 6.7 billion AUD by 2025.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (prior to COVID-19), employment in the beauty services space was projected to rise by 146% to 50,700 employment opportunities nationwide. Makeup artists and beauty therapists were both identified to be in the top 5 occupations in demand for this projected growth.
Job outlook
Most people who pursue makeup artistry as a career choose to work for themselves. Many start as freelance makeup artists who specialise in event makeup. Freelancers enjoy a lot of flexibility in their work, as they get to choose their own clients and work hours, often travelling to their clients’ homes.
Some makeup artists and beauty therapists choose to work in salons or open their own salons! Often, these businesses provide a range of beauty services including waxing, spray tanning, hairdressing, hairstyling and eyelash extensions. Those who choose to work in salons will experience a more structured work-life, however, weekend and evening work is still a regular occurrence for every beauty professional.
Although event or ‘special occasion‘ makeup is by far the most common form of makeup service, you can also train in specialist makeup services, such as:
- Film or screen makeup
- Special effects/prosthetics makeup
- Stage makeup
- High fashion or photography makeup
Makeup courses
Depending on which level makeup or beauty services qualification you choose to pursue, studying a makeup course in Australia will equip you with all the in-depth knowledge you’ll need to know about:
- Makeup products
- Makeup application techniques
- Skin type, health and hygiene
- Consultation standards
More comprehensive courses will also teach you critical foundational business skills required to start your own successful makeup business.
