Job & Career

These are our most frequently asked questions Job & Career

What are the advantages of the combined make-up artist & make-up artist training course?

The combined training combines classic beauty techniques with creative special effects and makes you a sought-after all-rounder. You will receive two internationally recognized diplomas and will be able to offer both bridal make-up and SFX for film productions. This versatility opens up significantly more career opportunities and sources of income - from weddings and editorial shoots to theater and TV productions.

Where can qualified make-up artists work?

With both diplomas, you can work in all areas of the beauty and entertainment industry: bridal and event make-up, film and TV productions, theater and musicals, fashion shoots and catwalks, drag shows and cosplay events, social media content creation or as a freelance beauty and SFX specialist. The combination of both qualifications makes you particularly attractive for agencies, production companies and discerning private clients.

Do I need a business license in Austria if I want to work independently?

For purely decorative make-up services without invasive skin treatments, you need a "Cosmetics (beauty care)" competence test in Austria limited to decorative cosmetics. A regulated trade with a corresponding trade license is required for cosmetic and skin treatment activities. Registration takes place at the responsible municipal authority or district authority. The Academy will be happy to assist you with the legal steps.

What are the earning potentials with both diplomas?

The earning potential with both diplomas is significantly higher than with just one qualification, as you can serve different market segments. You will earn money from bridal make-up, event commissions, fashion shoots, film and TV productions and theater engagements. If you are employed, you will receive a regular salary with social insurance. Freelancers benefit from project-based fees, which can be very attractive depending on specialization, experience and portfolio quality.

How do I build up a customer base with both diplomas?

You build a successful client base through a diverse portfolio of beauty and SFX work, active social media presence on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with tutorials and transformations, networking at wedding fairs, film festivals, fashion events and theater productions, collaborations with photographers, filmmakers, bridal fashion stores and event agencies, and referral marketing through satisfied clients. Your versatility is your greatest selling point.
