TRAINING DETAILS

Welcome to the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy for our most complete and detailed training to make you a makeup expert ready to tackle any challenge.

In the morning, we focus on theory: understanding morphology, discussing colorimetry, analyzing looks, and developing your expertise. After theory, it's demo time: the teacher shows you techniques and shares professional makeup artist tips to ensure each of your creations is a success. In the afternoon, it's your turn to practice, on models or your own face, always with the support of our experts to master these new concepts and push the boundaries of makeup.

During the “Professional Makeup Artist - Artistic, Cinema & Prosthetics Option” training, you will become a complete makeup professional; from beauty corrections to editorial makeup to enhance every face, from trompe-l'œil to body art that will no longer intimidate you, to the cinema option, creating realistic wounds, aging characters, and sculpting prosthetics. A set of diverse yet complementary techniques to make you an accomplished makeup expert.

Want to spice up your year? Expect special days: Halloween brings a total FX atmosphere at the Academy with realistic wounds and terrifying prosthetics; at Christmas, we switch to glam & sparkles. And let's not forget the masterclasses with big names in the industry that change every year — for example, Jonathan Lévy, FX prosthetist, or Jabe, renowned photographer, who we hosted in 2024.

And the grand finale: Graduation. Your diploma ceremony to beautifully celebrate your achievements during this full year of learning and discovery at the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy.
