After creating the MAKE UP FOR EVER brand in 1984 and teaching the art of makeup, Dany Sanz founded the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy in 2002, one of the first makeup schools in Europe. The mission of the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy is to welcome, train, and develop the expertise of tomorrow's makeup artists through a unique teaching method initiated by Dany Sanz, combining theory, practice, and expertise.

Throughout their Professional Makeup training, students have the opportunity to gain their first professional experiences through internships with our exclusive partners in various fields: fashion, television, cinema, events, shows, and festivals (Who's Next, Salon du Chocolat, Institut Français de la Mode, The Voice, Qui veut être mon associé...). These experiences, organized by the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy, are their first opportunities to develop their network.

The makeup artists and teachers at the Academy train tomorrow's talents in the best current techniques and teach them the creative discipline needed in this field. They also receive additional education, including art history and drawing classes, sales and digital workshops, CV coaching, and legal status guidance. These are all essential assets for progressing in fashion, photography, television, sales, or cinema.

Each year, our intensive courses enable over 750 beginners or seasoned professionals—makeup artists, hairstylists, beauticians, photographers, makeup enthusiasts, or those changing careers—to refine or learn various makeup techniques: Beauty, Fashion, Artistic, Glamour, Editorial, Bridal, Black Beauty, Mature Skin...

Our Academies in Europe and Asia provide a global network of makeup artists who engage with our students. To support graduates in their careers, they have access to the Academy Network, a platform dedicated to alumni where they can find job offers, collaboration opportunities, and alumni events organized by the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy.
