The Professional Makeup Artistry Course is delivered online and consists of 12 modules and 12 corresponding assignments.

This course provides students with exclusive access to over 24 hours of professionally shot HD video tutorials. These videos complement the course modules by explaining makeup techniques and processes as well as demonstrating historic, iconic, and on-trend makeup designs.
Students have the opportunity to delve deeper into specific areas of interest in makeup by purchasing Advanced Modules. These are similar to short courses and are specially formulated materials to challenge motivated students to achieve more.
