Requirements & suitability

You need to be at least 18 years old, be creative and enjoy beauty. No previous school knowledge, A-levels or make-up experience required. The course is suitable for beginners and advanced students. Written parental consent is required for minors.

Yes, absolutely! Many successful make-up artists start their careers as career changers at the age of 40, 50 or even 60. Life experience, empathy and knowledge of human nature are great advantages when dealing with customers. The flexible training program with online modules and classroom courses makes it possible to learn on the job at any age.

No, you do not need any previous knowledge. The course starts with the basics of make-up artistry and systematically builds on each other. You will learn everything from skin analysis and color consultation to day and evening make-up, bridal make-up and professional set techniques. Even absolute beginners will reach a professional level.

All you need for the theoretical online modules is a computer, tablet or smartphone with internet access. Depending on the package you choose (Basic, Premium or VIP), you will receive various professional starter kits with make-up products and tools. You are also welcome to use your own materials and products. You work with real models and receive recommendations for your own basic equipment.

A portfolio is your professional workbook with high-quality photos of your best make-up work and transformations. It shows potential clients, agencies, production companies and employers your skills, style and versatility. The portfolio is your visual calling card and is often crucial for contracts - especially in the beauty, film and event industries where clients want to see what you can do before booking. A strong portfolio with professional before-after images, different looks (bridal, editorial, SFX, fantasy) and creative work opens doors to lucrative projects and helps build your brand on social media and your website.
