Our mission is to reach people who are interested in professional makeup education but simply can't afford to leave their jobs for months at a time, spend money on airline tickets, hotels or apartments, and have no source of income due to a prolonged course of study in makeup. And for seasoned makeup artists, we offer a wide variety of advanced courses in beauty and special makeup effects.

Our teachers are Award-winning makeup artists who are actually working in the Entertainment Industry on major motion pictures and Prime-time TV shows.
