Working as a Make Up Artist

Who says that Make Up Artists need school to do Make Up? I am confused on this one because there are schools that kindly give you information on their courses, fees, kits, etc. It stresses me to the fact that the school that I have the desire to attend has no financial aid advisors. For that fact, I would rather continue working with people to do Make Up and to build my Make Up Kit on my own. I need to build my business through a school that will allow me to work at my own pace instead of rushing to finish and make mistakes. I recently checked out a school that is in my city and the school is wonderful. I love the atmosphere of it but, the problem with me is that I can't afford the price of the school because my income does not give enough for me to invest in on a professional level of Make Up Artistry. I would use this as an experience to learn that everything is not what it seems. I would have to settle for what I can afford at this moment because, everything does not have to be "Perfect" when it comes to Make Up Artistry. That is what I have learned with trying to find out about something that seems pleasing to the eye and the desire of my heart is still to do Make Up. I would have to use the people who are more interested in getting their Make Up done and be happy with that.
