What Our Students Are Saying

Sabrene-Marie Papas

I enjoyed my entire journey with IMUA!

They were so supportive and uplifting towards my work and supported me on my Instagram journey sharing my makeup looks with the online world! I learnt so many new techniques that allow me to design and create more dramatic and theatrical makeup looks that involve SFX and paints!

It gave me the confidence to experiment more with my skills and expand my knowledge beyond traditional beauty makeup. I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED my time with IMUA and strongly encourage anyone passionate about makeup who wants a career in the industry or just wants to expand their own artistry skills to take part in this course!

You will love it! All the best to any new students! Thanks for having me, IMUA! xxx

MUST DO COURSE!!

This is the only course you need! If you are a complete beginner or if you already have experience, this is the course to get you qualified. This isn't just your stock standard makeup; this covers theatre, television, SFX, and legal requirements of an MUA working in the industry!

All the better is you can do this at home....in your pyjamas if you wish (like me haha).

So happy I did this course and I couldn't recommend​ it more!

When I began this course I had no direction in my makeup career and only the skills that I picked up from self-teaching.

This class has solidified my knowledge of the fundamentals of beauty makeup, has introduced me to the fascinating world of special effects makeup and has been an invaluable resource in learning how to be a working makeup artist.

Now I feel I have the background and direction to move forward with confidence! I'm proud to have studied here.

I have absolutely loved this course! It covers everything a makeup artist should know to become successful.

There is so much information in each module. Everything is in-depth, and after completing it, I feel really confident in my skills and knowledge.

Before I started the course, I had never done anything with prosthetics or special effects. These modules were a bit challenging for me, but I am so glad they were included, and I had the opportunity to learn so many new and interesting things. I highly recommend this course!
