Help please...

I know this may seem like a dumb question but I really need someone to answer. What are the steps to becoming a make up artist? This is my dream. Btw I have zero experience, I just love make up and really don’t know where to start. Also, any tips on how to get better doing my own make up would be appreciated! I know everyone has to start somewhere but how do people get so good?? Where do I start? YouTube doesn’t help me. Thank you so much for your time!
