Make up/ hair artist

learndirect says:

Make-up artists prepare hair and make-up for presenters, performers and models appearing in front of a camera or a live audience. This could be for film and television, theatre, music concerts and photographic shoots. They could create anything from a natural look for a presenter, to complex period make-up and wigs or special effects make-up.

Make-up artists can work alone, as an assistant to a more senior colleague or as part of a make-up design team. Some are freelance, some are employed by bigger theatres and companies.
