Portfolio Photoshoots
Our Master Makeup Artistry Program is not only filled with extensive hands-on training and a comprehensive curriculum but includes photoshoots as well — a much-needed experience all makeup artists need when breaking into the industry.
The photoshoots included in our master makeup class involve training from our experienced instructors and the opportunity to work with professional models and photographers on set.
Before the day of the shoot, your instructors will guide you through creating your very own mood board and face charts to ensure the shoot captures the depth and versatility of your skills. On the day of the photoshoot, you’ll be able to experience the demands of a professional set and use NYC as a backdrop (from a rooftop location and on street level).
At the end of the program, you not only walk away with training but also with many pictures to build an amazing portfolio and post on your website and Instagram.
