What Questions Would You Ask A Professional Make Up Artist?

If I had the chance to ask a top makeup artist five questions I would ask:

1) How did you find getting in to the industry? What steps did you take to get to where you are now?

2) Did you feel that your makeup skills were at a potential and high level when you first started working in the industry or did that come in time with experience?

3) What advice would you have to gain confidence and skill level for makeup artistry?

4) Would it be worthwhile to try getting into a makeup counter to gain experience and watch how the industry works?

5) Do you feel a difference from working in the industry employed to being freelance? what do you prefer and why?
