Makeup Industry Website
Do you have what it takes to become a makeup artist? Do you have that extra something, that sense of style, that flair, the know-how that can make the ordinary look extraordinary and the extraordinary look out-of-this world? You may have the talent and drive, but to truly succeed in the business you also need the technical expertise. To fully realize your potential requires formal schooling and training in the latest products and techniques.
Learn from the best, to become the best. Our makeup school is located in the heart of the industry, on a studio lot where you can see such nationally-watched programs as "Beverley Hills 90210," "CSI Miami," "Boston Legal," and "Medium," filmed live -- while you go to school. Ours is one of only two makeup schools in all of Los Angeles located on an actual studio lot. While receiving instruction from industry experts in a working environment you can rub shoulders with the people who may be employing you when you are a working makeup artist -- or you may bump into one of the stars whose face you may be 'touching up' someday on a set.
No other school provides professional expertise in a hands-on, real-world setting where opportunities for networking abound. We offer instruction in makeup for print, television, film, and advertising, high-definition makeup education as well as fashion makeup application training for the runway, bridal shows, 'fantasy' airbrushing techniques, as well as hairstyling classes for the professional makeup artist.
Because we are a hands-on program, we offer some of the lowest priced instruction, at the highest quality, with no hidden fees and no materials charges. To gain an immediate foothold in the industry as well as an education -- sign up today! Don't put your dreams on the shelf and stop making excuses -- the future is now!
Philosophy
All of our courses are hands-on. We believe in creating an atmosphere of serious fun, where people can let loose, be creative yet still learn the vital skills they need to succeed. We have a high standard of excellence but recognize that everyone learns at his or her own pace, and students come with many different backgrounds and future goals. All materials are provided and are of the highest industry standard. They are included in the class fee, unlike many other schools. We are always getting the newest products and letting you, our student, use those products, to improve your skills.

FAQ
Why is your price lower than other schools?
Rather than spending critical time and resources sitting in lectures, our sessions are concentrated and intense -- we keep the prices low by keeping the focus on hands-on activities in classes, rather than lengthy lecture sessions with lots of 'bells and whistles' that you don't need.
Why are your hours shorter than other schools?
Our technique is unique -- rather than having you practice on your fellow students, which results in wasting 50% of student time spent in class, we bring in models from the industry. This is also a more realistic example of the types of models you will find yourself working on, over the course of your career.
What type of makeup is in your kits?
All of our makeup is provided for our students, and our samples are constantly rotated to keep up with industry standards. Because we are located on a studio set, we are able to become very aware of industry trends and use 'top of the line' make-up that is the very latest in product design. After you leave a course, you should be able to walk onto a studio set or into a fashion show and feel comfortable with all of the products at your fingertips.
How long are lectures and hands on training?
Our classes are split, using a 20% lecture and 80% hands on format. While in other schools you may have a fifteen- minute lecture in a four hour day, half of your 'hands on' experience involves functioning as a model -- however, by using industry models, all of your time in out classes is spent efficiently, getting practical experience.
