Four years ago, Karrece Stewart began to see how she could develop her passion for makeup into a career. That was until the state got in her way.
Until this year, state law required either a cosmetology or estheticians license to apply makeup. The courses would teach Karrece, who lives in Fulton, a lot of things she didnât need and very few items that would actually help her. Karrece didnât have the time or money for a commitment that wouldnât even help her.
But because of a change to a state law in the recently concluded legislative session, Karrece will soon be able to follow her dreams and become a professional makeup artist. House Bill 1312 exempts makeup artists, as well as eyebrow threaders and those that apply eyelash extensions, from licensing requirements. These practices are extremely safe and do not involve cutting, coloring or chemically treating hair.
