Do you not even recognize your child anymore? I’m not asking if they’ve aged; I mean has their attitude changed so much that you don’t even recognize who they are anymore? Perhaps they’re doing drugs or drinking. Maybe they’re having unsafe sex or they’ve even joined a gang. In some cases, it may mean nothing more than the fact that your child has just become withdrawn and you’re afraid they’re up to no good (not that they’ll give you a straight answer). What’s a parent to do in such a case?

Whatever you do, don’t give up. There are options other than turning a blind eye, which is risky. For example, you could send them to a boys boarding school. There, they’ll be far away from any troubles back home and under constant supervision. Plus, they’ll still be going through school and studying. So once they’re better, they won’t have to go back and do a year over.

Another option that is similar are wilderness therapy programs. These too remove the kid from troublesome environments and will teach them discipline, respect and self-reliance like never before. You’ll be amazed what can be done!

For many students of makeup artistry, it might be challenging to find a job right after graduation. But it’s not impossible. While a position in fashion, film or TV might be a goal to work towards, there are other industries that invite recent graduates and offer the perfect environment in which to grow and thrive as a makeup artist. One environment that is especially ideal for recent grads is retail. Here’s a look at the job duties and responsibilities of a makeup artist who works in the cosmetics department of a retail store.

Duties and Responsibilities

As a makeup artist for a retail setting, employees will demonstrate use of cosmetics by applying makeup on customers. Makeup artists need to know how to create a variety of looks according to the customer’s wants and needs. The artist must also have proficient knowledge of the products they are using, because the goal is to the sell the products and help the customer make the best choice.

Qualifications

In order to qualify for an entry-level position at a retail store, most companies require education (makeup classes at Cosmix Inc. for example) or experience in makeup artistry. Applicants should also have experience in sales, good communication skills, and able to stand on their feet for hours at a time.

Many graduates start their makeup careers working in a retail environment. In fact, Cosmix Inc. helps students find jobs in the retail environment, although the school can’t guarantee placement.

Cosmix Inc. is a leading makeup artistry school located in South Florida. The school offers makeup training in production, fashion, and special FX makeup artistry.
