The study plan includes:

  • Beauty Corrective Make-Up: Knowledge of corrective makeup is the only way to access makeup for film, theater, fashion, etc. The most advanced strategies and illusory effects to mitigate imperfections and enhance the person: how to ovalize a face, parade the jaws or nose, enlarge the lips and eyes. An indispensable course for students and those who wish to improve their professional level.
  • Drawing
  • Artistic Make-Up: Makeup artistry is the discipline that allows you to express yourself with all your creativity and imagination. However, it should be kept in mind that drawing on the face is not like drawing on paper because while a sheet of paper is flat, the human face is three-dimensional and lines and shades will be altered. Our program teaches how to avoid this drawback.
  • Cosmetology: The basics of cosmetology are indispensable for a true make-up professional who knows, for example, how to use water-soluble or water-resistant cosmetics as appropriate or to prepare a new shade extemporaneously. A set of notions that allow one to choose the right product without being influenced by advertising propaganda.
  • Digital Make-Up (Photoshop): Today, to create new looks even makeup artists make use of digital retouching programs, to suggest a different eyebrow or lip design, to suggest a new hairstyle, to remedy imperfect photographs, or to create artistic images.
  • Theatrical Make-Up: This is a very fascinating type of makeup that allows with just a few strokes to transform the actor into the character of the day. Essential is knowledge of anatomy in order to know how to insert strokes and chiaroscuro in a way that does not clash with facial expressions.
  • Make-Up Epochs: Since time immemorial, when designing a collection, designers have been inspired by styles as far back as several centuries. In each collection, references to the past are evident. Makeup and hairstyling also undergo the same kind of influence. Hence the need for in-depth knowledge of fundamental styles from the 1920s to the 1980s.
  • Cine TV Make-Up: The program includes basic information on performing proper makeup for the small and big screen, including small impromptu special effects such as bruises, cuts, scars, and application of the cap to simulate a glabrous skull.
  • Fashion Make-Up: Makeup fashion means being able to anticipate new trends and create something super modern. Our program is designed to help the student untangle the complex world of fashion.
  • Bridal Make-Up and Photography
  • Ethnic Make-Up: In our multi-ethnic society, the skilled Make-Up Artist must know how to make-up all skin types with equal ease. The result is a topical course aimed at acquainting students with techniques and secrets for enhancing new morphological proportions and the infinite variables of complexion, scarring and aging problems and, most important, the behavior of colors on skins of different shades.
