Being a Make Up Artist is not all glitz and glamour but i can tell you it's so much fun. You need to be prepared for anything. This is my experience... In May 2006, i went to MUD in Los Angeles to do my training. I was clueless. There were no Youtube and Instagram artists back then. None that i know of.  I was so nervous the first day. I came in the room and students had their kits ready. Thankfully, my classmate Arlene was so nice and helped me to the MUD store and build my kit. I arrived in the US the day before our first day of class
