So lately, I've been considering getting into makeup artistry.

This is partly sparked by the Makeup Party that sparkymonster hosted at WisCon where I found I really enjoy doing other people's makeup. I also tend to do my own makeup for my shoots, although for obvious reasons, I prefer being worked on, because professionals have actual kits with proper brushes and quality products. However, there are some who use pharmacy-grade products for certain things.

The problem with this is that one doesn't become an MUA as a mere hobby, unlike modeling, because you know, getting the kit together... that shit is expensive, and makeup has a shelf life. I doubt I want to do makeup artistry as an actual job, but I also know MUAs that do TF*s are in pretty high demand because they're so hard to get, especially good ones that are actually available.

But I also want a camera! Because I want to take pictures! And I think it would be awesome if I could do both makeup and camera-work.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
