MUA licence for New York state!!!

[mrs_pidji]

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to this forum but not to playing with makeup. I want to start something of a freelance makeup artist and see how that goes for me. I live in NY state and I'm not sure about rules and regulations, do I need to have a license if I want to do makeup only? How do I go about it and can I apply for a license without going to any makeup schools? I am self thought and I always got so many compliments from friends and family on my makeup that I want to turn it into business for myself.
If I have to go what schools are good here in NY? There are so many I am not sure what would be a good choice.
Any information would be helpful.
THANK YOU ALL
ALISA

you need to check with your state's licensing department to see if you are required to have one in order to do makeup. you can check on your state's government website.
