1️⃣ Build solid foundations – enroll in a professional makeup course

Before reaching for your eyeshadow palette, it’s worth learning techniques, color theory, and skin care principles.

Makeup is a hands-on profession — that’s why at the Academy most classes involve working with models and real projects.
Each student creates a portfolio during professional photo sessions – your showcase in the job market.
