Make-Up Artistry

If you’ve always held a passion for make-up, then expanding your skills at a make-up artist school can help you turn it into a career. Bellus Academy offers Make-Up Artistry programs at each of our campuses across California and Kansas, making it easy for aspiring students to take the first step towards an exciting and rewarding vocation in make-up artistry.

Program Curriculum

Bellus Academy’s Make-Up Artistry program begins with the basics and transitions into teaching more advanced techniques. Over the course of their studies, our students can expect to cover the following:

• History of make-up
• Proper sanitation and safety techniques
• Elements of drawing
• Make-up fundamentals, which include skin analysis, base application, and more
• Airbrushing and special effects
• Make-up for different settings, such as bridal and high-fashion
• How to apply makeup on both men and women, as well as those with mature skin

To provide our students with the industry exposure that can enhance their future careers, Bellus Academy proudly partners with the elite, trend-setting brand Make-Up Designory (M.U.D.). As a result of this partnership, our students uniquely gain experience with critically acclaimed equipment and even receive their very own comprehensive kit of M.U.D. supplies.

Personal and Professional Development

Aside from mastering a range of application techniques and compiling a professional portfolio of countless looks, our Make-Up Artistry program also provides students with both personal and business skills training. During their personal training courses, students will learn how to market themselves as future make-up artists, stay current in an ever-evolving field, and much more. To strengthen their entrepreneurial skills, students will take courses on networking, compensation, and more.

General Information

At Bellus Academy, we believe that education should be available to all who seek it. That’s why we are transparent about our tuition and pricing, which you can view in our program catalogs. It’s also why we provide helpful disclosures and consumer information, including a net price calculator, a consumer information handbook, annual security reports, and more.

Students may opt to take Make-Up Artistry as a standalone program, but, in these cases, it does not qualify for financial aid. Aside from this program, Bellus Academy also offers Make-Up and Cosmetology and Make-Up and Esthetics combination programs for students who are interested in pursuing careers in more than one field of beauty.
