Honestly - and this is probably a separate discussion here - you paint the picture that anyone with a brush can "be" a makeup artist. Has the market really gotten so saturated with talentless hacks that it's creating a higher barrier-to-entry for anyone who can blend simple appendage prosthetics (this is NOT a difficult process)?
That's kinda depressing... you have my sympathy...
EDIT: Don't take this too much to heart; it just seems that you've been thrown an awful lot of the chaff lately, and should probably have people present portfolios of their work in advance.
I realize this cuts down on opportunities, but look at it this way: you're giving yourselves more time to vet the candidates you want to work on your productions.
It's win-win, because you get better quality - assuming they're not completely deceitful, lying asshats - and your production values skyrocket (which I don't have to tell you what that means for sales
)
Of course, if you're doing a lot of work with relative newcomers, it might not hurt to send them a
decent primer and see if they learned anything from it.
That being said, if they show up with a trowel and KrazyGlue (hyperbole, of course), they should probably get a jackboot to the ass.
