International Schools - Full Curriculum

Makeup artists now have opportunities for assignments worldwide.  While the runways of the fashion industry are influential in setting trends in makeup, film production also presents an international market as evident by the red carpets laid out all over the world for premiers and film festivals.   Consequently, the international makeup schools are, in turn, providing training for work in the global market.    

To assist aspiring makeup artists in choosing a makeup school overseas, I’ve conducted exclusive interviews with the directors of the major makeup training centers throughout Europe and the selected counties of Pacific rim.  The international schools surveyed are located in England, France, Germany, and Australia.  All international schools offer a full curriculum - here are their responses:
