For Makeup Graduates
Let’s Talk About Your Future!
Much is talked of about “Aftercare” and what does it actually mean?
Each Makeup academy will have its own version of what they think it should be.
Why CB★MA?
At CB★MA It is very simple, we will help ALL our graduates to the best of our capabilities, through good times and more importantly, not so good.
To begin at the beginning……your first job once you complete your 4 month course will be on Christine Blundell’s Film. This will be a paid position as a Makeup Trainee. You will be offered a handful of days work and it will be an amazing opportunity to work and impress the people working there that you are a worthy Makeup Trainee.
More Networking Opportunities
As we have the top makeup artists and designers coming to teach at the makeup academy they are not only bringing their skills to share but also their knowledge of the Film, TV and Theatre Industries. Our Tutors will also teach you everything about set-etiquette and other very important dos & don’ts of life on set.
BUT more importantly they can offer work. Many of the Makeup Designers and Makeup Artists are looking for new trainees; it is a priceless opportunity. As an example we had as a guest Tutor Nadia Stacey come into the makeup School whilst filming her film “Cinderella” she was so impressed with the students in the class that she took them ALL on the set of Cinderella!
What other Makeup Academy can boast that?
Film, TV or Theatre productions are asking for makeup trainees or makeup artists for various jobs, which we offer to our makeup graduates on an equal footing. All will get the chance to work.
Small Jobs
Student films are great ways to gain experience as a makeup trainee. You may very well be working with a future famous director or cameraman! On such film projects and other smaller paid films, it would be challenging for the makeup trainee to purchase all the materials needed for such film projects, such as “Blood or Blister Sculpt Gel. That is why at CB★MA we let our makeup graduates borrow all the products needed for the job…Free of charge!
Unlimited Graduate Career Support
All our graduates benefit from unlimited graduate support. This includes helping you draft your CVs and cover letters, to sending you jobs that come to us from various film, TV or theatre productions. We are also always here to answer any of the questions you may have about working in the industry and help you overcome any difficulties you may come across in your new career.
Guest Speakers
Another exclusive opportunity that we have at CB★MA Is to invite for Afternoon Tea special guests to talk about their experiences working in the Film and TV industry. This could be makeup designers such as “Napoleon“ Designer Jana Carboni or the incredible Naomi Donne who has designed films ranging from “1917“ to James Bond. These Q&A sessions are vital for understanding what leading UK Makeup designers look for in a Makeup Trainee. As an example we have had the incredibly talented actor Lesley Manville coming in a few times to chat about the relationship between the actor and the makeup artist.
This is pure gold to be able to sit in and listen to the do’s and don’ts from the Actor’s perspective. What makes it all the more brilliant is that such an actor as Lesley Manville works in Film TV and Theatre. She talked about each genre being different in context to makeup requirements, all very fascinating!
We have also invited award winning Costume designers. As both costume and makeup departments work so closely it is very important for the makeup trainee to have an understanding of the relationship between the 2 departments. Understanding how things work is key to success. We are also very fortunate to have actors come in for Afternoon tea.
Now is the time to invest in yourself and train or retrain to start a new career as a makeup artist with the full support of the Academy behind you!
We suggest booking a Personal tour to come and see us. We also recommend booking the Taster Day, a great way to spend a day here and learn some techniques and get a feel of what it would be like studying at the Academy.
