Fundamental Makeup Artistry
Skills Platform Workshop Program
The Fundamental Makeup Artistry Skills Platform workshop
series is a unique teaching and mentoring program created
as private one-on-one only instruction for the very beginning or
developing makeup artist.
Properly acquiring working fundamental makeup knowlege and
technique in application (both basic and advanced) from
the beginning is crucial for full development later on in
master makeup techniques or artistry field specialties,
such as makeup special effects or editorial/fashion print
work.
This intensive instruction course is designed to allow the
artist to significantly streamline training and acquisition
of strong fundamental working skills directly under a working
professional from "inside the industry" without the long term time and expense investment, and "filler"
material (instruction or information that does not translate
to working technique) found in many of the formal makeup
schools.
This program is modeled after the highly esteemed and time
honored mentor/apprentice method of makeup training used
by the major Hollywood studios for many years until the
mid 80’s, in which many seasoned Academy Award and
Emmy Award winning makeup artists were superbly educated
and skilled in media makeup arts in their early careers.
In respect to this distinguished methodology, the fundamental
skills platform is presented and taught in a concise, efficient,
time and cost-effective process that delivers high quality
results and competent proficient artistry skills that will
give you the utmost confidence in beginning your career.
All material and instruction is 100% focused on working
knowlege and complete hands-on technique instruction ONLY,
and designed to build upon and translate your raw talent
and potential into real skill acquision and "set ready" execution.
To complete the entire Fundamental skills platform program requires 5 full days of instruction, lab work, and makeup design and execution on a variety of skin tones. A very limited number of students are enrolled individually each year to allow
a sufficient amount of time to schedule the intensive instructional days with sufficent practice time in-between each day. This allows the student to practice and
refine their skill in techniques under professional guidance.
The Elementary Fundamentals is a total of 3 individual days of intensive
instruction, and the Prorgressive Fundamentals is a total of
2 individual days of instruction. All workshops are held in the Washington, DC metro
area only. For more complete and detailed information about
this course, or to check availability to schedule a session
please contact Suzanne.
