Objective

My goal is to teach my students to achieve the highest quality of makeup application possible. Maximum Makeup courses will focus on the criteria necessary to become a successful freelance makeup artist, that is, to be prepared for anything and everything. By using many demos and visuals, I will help you train your eye for detail by teaching you how to first recognize a flawless makeup and then how to achieve it. My intensive instruction is extremely hands on and highly detail oriented. In order to provide this level of attention, Maximum Makeup offers the most intimate classes available which are limited to only eight students per class. Accordingly, Maximum Makeup tuitions have been calculated to reflect the outstanding quality and undivided attention that students will receive while assuring the most competitive prices.

I will not only concentrate on the basics but will expand the makeup craft by using various techniques to inspire and encourage you to define your own sense of style. To accommodate students with differing levels of makeup experience, each student will follow a set curriculum as well as have the opportunity to explore areas of personal interest. I will not only teach what I think is essential but also what each student wants to learn.

The professional makeup industry can be a very creative and exciting field but it is also highly competitive therefore it is imperative to be as prepared as possible. In addition to invaluable makeup skills, you will learn other important aspects of the industry including business/marketing, building your portfolio, and lighting for photography. Maximum Makeup courses will also feature prominent guest artists who will share their perspective and personal experiences in the business.

One of the unique components of the Maximum Makeup course is the Product Workshop. This lab will familiarize the student with the wide variety of products that are available and provide an opportunity to experiment with new materials and master how they work as well as discover what will work best for your individual kit. Based on my recommendations, each student is required to compile a basic makeup kit Additionally, you will have complete access to my extensive collection of MAC cosmetics which will further familiarize you with pro products.

As a final course project, there is a 3 day photo shoot designed to give you a jump start on building your portfolio and to prepare you to plan your own future photo shoots. Students will decide which photographers to use along with collaborating and networking with models, hairdressers, and stylists.

Maximum Makeup is for students who are serious about pursuing a career as a freelance artist. I am thoroughly committed to the fulfillment of your artistic goals and ultimately my desire is to inspire and motivate you on your quest through life. The possibilities are truly endless.
