Makeup Artist case studies

The Makeup Artist Certification Examination is a professional credentialing exam for artists who want documented proof of competence in sanitation, skin analysis, color matching, corrective technique, product and tool knowledge, eye and brow work, occasion-specific design, special effects, client consultation, and professional practice. Candidates typically include working freelance artists, salon and counter staff, bridal specialists, and graduates of makeup programs who want a portable credential that sits alongside a portfolio. The exam is delivered in the language of the certifying body and commonly mixes multiple-choice and multiple-response items with case-based scenarios in which you are given a client description and asked to choose a defensible course of action. Some certifying bodies also require a written or practical portfolio assessment. The Makeup Artist case studies are 5 cases and about 3,440 words.
