Makeup Artist Resume Template — Ivy Design

A makeup artist resume works alongside a strong portfolio, so keep it focused on the types of work you do — bridal, editorial, film, or special effects — and the brands or productions you have worked with. Mention kit ownership and any brand ambassador or training roles. The Ivy template — ivy League academic style — zero-risk ATS for law, finance, and academia. — pairs that with a layout built to get noticed by both recruiters and ATS software.

Makeup Artist Resume — Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a portfolio link on my makeup artist resume?

Yes, always include a link to your Instagram or online portfolio at the top of your resume — hiring managers and clients will judge your work visually before reading further.

How do I list freelance makeup jobs on a resume?

Group similar freelance work under one heading (e.g. "Freelance Makeup Artist, 2021-Present") and list standout clients, events, or productions as bullet points rather than every single booking.
