From the principal

We teach the face in front of you: its skin, its shape, its light. Products change every year. Good hands and clean habits do not.

The path

From your first class to your own kit

Start with your own face

The one-day self make-up class teaches the basics on the face you know best.

Foundations

Six weekends of skin, base, brows, eyes and lips, practising on each other.

Artistry

Twelve weeks of bridal, editorial and stage, with models and a photographer.

Your portfolio

Every student leaves with photographs of their own work to show clients.
