4 Month Hair & Makeup Course

This is the most Comprehensive Makeup Course from the leading Makeup school. Here’s Why!

Our next 4 month professional Film & TV Hair, Makeup & Special effects course was designed by our Principal, Christine Blundell, an Oscar & BAFTA winning Makeup designer. Christine has made sure that your course Tutors are leading UK TV, Film & Theatre Makeup Artists and Designers, who are all actively working in the industry. Our Academy is based in Camden, London and we only run one 4 month course for professional Film & TV Makeup Artists at any one time, with the maximum class size of 14 students, with each student receiving much needed care and attention from the course Tutor and the school. After completion of their course, every CB*MA graduate is offered guaranteed onset experience on one of Christine’s latest projects.

The course will give you all the professional media makeup, theatrical, hairdressing & special effects skills you need to become a Makeup trainee, enabling you to pursue a career in TV, Film & Theatre industries. No previous makeup and hairdressing experience is necessary, although some hairdressing skills can often give you an advantage at the beginning. Please see below a list of Makeup, Hair & SFX modules you will be taught during the 16 weeks of the course, from Basic and Fashion make up, through Theatre and Wigs, Casualty and Prosthetics and many, many more.
