How Makeup Artistry works in SkillScorer

Score

Each practitioner in a salon is scored on the Makeup Artistry skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.

Compare

Rank practitioners, compare two side by side, or compare your salons against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.

Track

Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Makeup Artistry skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior stylist's salon.

How are practitioners scored in Makeup Artistry?

Every practitioner is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one salon and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.

Which levels come with Makeup Artistry?

Can I change the Makeup Artistry skills and wording?

Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In beauty & personal care the app talks about practitioners, salons and senior stylists, and you can change any of those words too.
