What is an internship makeup model?

Internship makeup models are individuals who volunteer or are selected to have makeup applied on them by makeup artists in training, typically during beauty school or internship programs. These models provide aspiring makeup artists with real-life practice opportunities to hone their skills in applying various makeup techniques and styles. The experience is mutually beneficial, as models often receive professional-quality makeup looks for free or at a reduced cost while helping students gain hands-on experience. Makeup models may also participate in demonstrations, exams, and portfolio shoots as part of the training process.
