The aim of this course is to provide you with the knowledge and skills required for a career as a professional Makeup Artist or as a keen hobbyist.

The Professional Makeup Artistry Course is delivered online and consists of 12 modules and 12 corresponding assignments. You can study in your own time and at your own pace to get the most out of every module. Normally, you would expect to be dedicating an average of about 4-6 hours per week for 24 weeks. However, many students take up to one year to complete their studies because of family or work commitments. Extensions are available for purchase if required.
This course provides students with exclusive access to over 24 hours of professionally shot HD video tutorials. These videos complement the course modules by explaining makeup techniques and processes as well as demonstrating historic, iconic, and on-trend makeup designs.
Students have the opportunity to delve deeper into specific areas of interest in makeup by purchasing Advanced Modules. These are similar to short courses and are specially formulated materials to challenge motivated students to achieve more.
