Well, right now I am in school for wigs and makeup. If I have time, I do opera or independent films locally. Or make/repair wigs for people I have worked for in the past for extra cash (again, when i have time) and i work at a makeup counter. Weddings usually happen when I'm doing any of the other stuff, so... I rarely do them.

I am the Business Mgr for a Health & Beauty Manufacturing Laboratory. We formulate and manufacture Nutritional items, OTC's and mainly Health and Beauty products We do business with a lot of Cosmetic companies and Bath and Body companies. So I have learned alot about the ingredients and skin benefits of different beauty products by working in this field for the past 10 years. It also helps when I am wearing certain brands when visting my clients that sell these items.

Full time I'm in the Air Force and do web development and database administration. Part time I work at Bath and Body Works (orientation today). I considered taking on a part time job at Ulta or Sephora but I guess I'm not talented enough
Makeup doesn't really tie into being in the military. I just do makeup because I have to wear a boring uniform every day so there's no expressing yourself with that. Makeup is the only way to do it..and even then we're limited. I pretty much have to keep things neutral or subdued...I can't go funky. So, I stick with my browns, grays, and toned down purples.

My full-time job is with an event planning and production company, I also work part-time in the sports department and the local newspaper — makeup is part-time for me (maybe full-time someday!). I have steady schedules at both jobs, so my MUA hours of operation are set and my Clients are aware of what nights of the week I'm open for trial sessions, etc., and that I'm open on the weekends for weddings/events/etc.

I work in the maintenance department of a large electrical utilities company. I do all the admin work for the department (reports, mapping, recording field work, timesheets, etc.) So basically I sit in a cubicle in the huge head office all day and try to tune out 300+ other employees by plugging in my mp3 player. =P
Fortunately, the dress code is somewhat relaxed, and they don't mind my crazy makeup.

I work for a bank in the affordable housing group. I am the Executive Assistant for my department and the SVP of my group. There arent alot of customers that come into my office so I can wear whatever makeup I want. Its fun. There is no tie between the two. I just love makeup!

I'm a fulltime software developer and I just like to look cute
If I didn't have mouths to feed I'd probably opt for the artistic types of professions

When I did my training and afterward I was working fulltime in a corporate office. I left there and went part time in another office but these jobs are keeping me from pursuing my MU career with any real gusto so now I'm trying to get something at a store or counter.
