They'll have to work with other creative departments and the director so the costumes correlates with the overall project.

In Alice the actors such as the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts had distinctive makeup looks so the audience could tell who they were playing. Key skills needed for this job role includes creativity. A makeup artist must be good at working with their hands. They will have to work with other departments such as costume and wigs so that the characters final look is complimenting. They will also have to work with the director to understand the overall concept of the project.
