Focused training without narrowing your options.

Makeup can take you in a lot of different directions. Your training should give you the chance to explore them.

Our program is eight months rather than the 12 months offered by many other schools, but that doesn’t mean learning less. We’ve removed content that is no longer relevant to the industry and focused your time on the skills, techniques and experience artists need today.

You still build a broad foundation across beauty, fashion, editorial, film, television and special effects—you just do it in a more focused timeframe.

What You’ll Learn

Beauty + Bridal

Build strong foundational technique and create polished looks for different clients, features and occasions.

Fashion + Editorial

Experiment with trends, references and creative concepts while developing looks for photography, fashion and editorial work.

Film + Television

Learn makeup techniques designed for camera and professional productions, including the different demands of working on set.

Special Effects + Character

Explore character work, aging, injuries and other special effects techniques while expanding what you can create as an artist.

Graduate sooner. Start building your career sooner.

There isn’t one version of a career in makeup.

Your work could take you from a bridal suite to a photoshoot, backstage at a fashion show or onto a film set. You might work in beauty, specialize in special effects, freelance across different industries, work with brands or eventually build a business of your own.

Focused training means you can start building your portfolio and pursuing those opportunities sooner.

Build your skills by using them.

You’ll spend your time practicing techniques, experimenting with different looks, working on classmates and models, responding to creative briefs and creating work for your portfolio.

Some projects will strengthen your technical skills. Others will push you creatively and introduce you to areas of makeup you may never have considered before.

Throughout it all, you’ll be learning alongside other creative people with instructors there to teach, guide and challenge you.

The best way to figure that out is to start exploring.
