You sound like me. I never have wanted to literally do makeup for a job, but I'm pretty obsessed with it and am applying to work at a beauty store soon.

As far as tips, it kind of depends on what type of makeup you're talking about. If you mean eye makeup, I really really like Urban Decay's Primer Potion, but it's kind of expensive. You can use some liquid concealer on your eyelids or some powder foundation before you put on all your makeup and it'll give it way better holding power. You can also use some transparent powder to go over your eyes when you've put all the makeup on. I'm not so good with how to keep face makeup in place since I really haven't used foundation in like 2 years since, honestly, it's really not good for your skin no matter what kind you get.

Also, while this is definitely a goal, I'm moving this to Fashion & Style since you're more likely to get the tips you want. PM me if you have any questions.
