Master Classes

Master classes are equivalent to graduate level training in makeup artistry. These classes and workshops are shorter in duration, taken by working makeup artists to become specialized in a specific area of makeup.

Master classes involve training to become proficient in industry trends; currently technology, economics, and celebrity are driving trends.

Trends in professional makeup include the advances of high definition technology, new media, fantastical and body makeup, seasonally changing fashion trends, new product formulas, makeup for mature skin, makeup for the red carpet/live events, makeup for diverse ethnic skin tones and the marketplace demand for hair styling skills commensurate with makeup is now the expected skill set.

The instructors of master classes are taught by experts working worldwide in their specialties and their accomplishments have achieved industry recognition. We have included responses from artists working domestically in North America, and internationally across the globe including Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific Rim. Here are their responses:
