Choosing Your Makeup School: What Criteria to Consider?

Are you passionate about makeup and dreaming of making it your career, but unsure how to choose your makeup school? To ensure you make the right choice, consider several factors: the types of courses offered, the school's reputation, the quality of instructors, available internships, and the alumni network. Among the many schools in France, Make Up For Ever Academy in Paris is renowned for its reputation, quality training, and high employability.


What Training Programs Are Offered?

Depending on the career you wish to pursue, you'll choose your makeup school differently. Review the training programs to ensure the school offers a wide range of makeup courses.

Choosing Your Makeup School: Short Courses

If you want to learn specific techniques over a short period, check for intensive makeup training options. At Make Up For Ever Academy, we offer 13 intensive courses ranging from 1 day to 1 month in various fields: beauty makeup, Asian beauty makeup, beauty & hair, bridal hair and makeup, makeup for dark skin, and more. Depending on the modules, these courses are for beginners or advanced students.


Choosing Your Makeup School: Long Courses

Becoming a professional makeup artist doesn't happen in a week. If you want to pursue this career, it requires commitment to a long makeup training program, which can last up to a year depending on your chosen options. Ensure you choose a school that offers long, professional courses. At Make Up For Ever Academy, we offer four courses to become a professional makeup artist:

Choosing Your Makeup School: Customized and Online Courses

Some schools, like Make Up For Ever Academy, offer customized courses tailored to your needs. If you have a specific project and lack techniques in certain areas, you can create a personalized program with our team of professionals.

If you're a makeup enthusiast wanting to learn online and can't attend a school in Paris, some organizations offer online courses. Make Up For Ever Academy Paris offers an "Online trainings".


What Is the School's Reputation?

The more recognized a school is in the beauty and professional makeup industry, the higher the chances of finding quality training with top-level instructors. After creating her brand of professional products, Dany Sanz founded Make Up For Ever Academy in 2002, training future makeup artists for over 20 years in Paris, Shanghai, and Brussels. We enjoy international recognition and a strong reputation in professional makeup. The public knows the brand through our product ranges available in France and abroad.


What Is the Quality of the Teaching Staff?

The quality of instructors is crucial when choosing a makeup school. Pay attention to the diversity of teachings and the qualifications of the teachers. It's beneficial to learn from makeup artists still active in their professional fields. The diversity of instructors is also important. At Make Up For Ever, our academy is dedicated to delivering a unique and multidisciplinary education. Our team consists of seasoned professionals specialized in their fields. Students also benefit from additional teachings (art history, sales and digital workshops, CV coaching) to acquire a broad range of skills and increase their employability.


Are Internships Offered?

When you decide to pursue a long makeup training program, ensure internships are included to gain experience and ease your professional integration. At Make Up For Ever Academy, students undertake numerous internships throughout their training, either in a specific field or across various domains like theater, cinema, television, dance, or events. We have an extensive network of partners who regularly host our students for internships. These experiences help students develop their professional network and integrate more easily after their training.


Other Criteria...

Other factors like funding options, CPF eligibility, and diplomas and certifications issued should also be considered to refine your choice of makeup school. Additionally, some schools offer attractive benefits, like Make Up For Ever Academy: discounts on brand products, workshops, and photo books of your makeup done by a professional photographer.
