Our New Makeup Course Calendar Is Now Online!



The School of Professional Makeup has a whole new makeup course calendar for 2011 & 2012. Whether you're looking for full-time or part-time makeup programs, we're sure to have a course that suits your needs.



The School of

Professional Makeup offers both full time and part time programs that will get you started on an exciting career as a makeup artist.



Here's a sample of some of some our our new offerings:



Full Time Programs



Makeup Art and Airbrush - The Nucleus of the Industry

Makeup art is and will always be the fundamental element of makeup artistry. There are many approaches to training and there is a plethora of philosophies with regards to techniques. The bottom line is, did the subject look better leaving your chair? Did the facial design meet the requirements of the shoot? Did it make sense to the character, advertisement, or the client in question? Did the makeup artist incorporate corrective makeup techniques with his or her own personal style, while delivering what the shoot wanted? These are important questions and a checklist for solid training.




Hair Works


Don't worry about perm rods or hair colour theory in this module. This is all about hair manipulation to slick styling. In the early eighties, with all the budgets cuts, producers started booking one person to process both hair and makeup. Today, a large part of the fashion side of the industry still follows this suite. The venue, budget and if the shoot is union or non-union, are factors which dictate whether one person will cover both hair and makeup or a team will be hired for each department. Hair Works encompasses all mediums within our industry. Makeup artists use their hair and wig styling skills in bridal, music videos, television broadcasts, corporate videos, non-union motion pictures, and theatre productions.




Out of Kit F/X w/ Advanced Gelatin

Differentiating between Prosthetics and Special Effects would be a good idea when choosing a secondary course to Makeup Art with Airbrush. Prosthetics is a process of life casting, sculpting, and mould making to develop an appliance from these procedures for facial or body application. Props are also manufactured by this venue. Out of Kit Special Effects is a broad-spectrum series of makeup applications, which may be executed literally in minutes or hours, depending on the nature of the effect.

Did the makeup artist incorporate corrective makeup techniques with his or her own personal style, while delivering what the shoot wanted? These are important questions and a checklist for solid training.


While creativity is a huge part of an artist's development, it must be coupled with a knowledge of set procedures, corrective makeup techniques and the various industry looks that are common to the actor, the model, the sports anchor, the bride, et al. Understanding and executing the look asked for is one of many elements crucial for the success of a production and the career of the makeup artist.

Starting February 22, 2011, Makeup Art and Airbrush is an 8 week diploma program that runs Mon-Thurs from 9:30am - 4:00pm.

Advanced Airbrush Workshop
The flawless finish that high definition television is now demanding. this advanced method of makeup application has evolved with digital and high definition camera work. With HDTV now in the forefront of broadcasts and film production, makeup and effects executed by airbrush definitely have their advantages. A skilled airbrush artist will process talent at a faster pace. Airbrush opens artists to specific water and silicone based products that cannot be used by traditional application methods. With air being the delivery system of the product, the final outcome is a flawless finish that high definition television now demands.

Starting April 19, 2011, the Advanced Airbrush Workshop is a 1 week certificate program that runs Mon-Fri from 9:30am - 4:00pm.
