Cinema Makeup School is Proud to Offer a Slate of Evening Classes for 2012!

Starting on January 16th, from 6:30 to 10:00 pm, we will be teaching Character Class.  For those beauty makeup artists that want to branch out more into film and tv, music videos and commercials, this class is a must!  Taught by working makeup artists, you will learn how to create realistic makeups right out of your kit, right on the spot!  From old age to bald caps, from facial hair to burns, bruises and scars, this class is the true beginning of your path down the realistic makeup journey.

The Special Makeup FX class is our next evening class being offered.  It starts on Feb 6th, and goes for 2 months, just like the previous evening classes.  With SFX, you will learn the advanced techniques used to create complex foam latex multi-piece appliances.  You will create dental appliances, as well as learn about fx airbrushing, multi-piece moldmaking, moving blood and bladder work (tubing, spray) and breaking down a script.  For those that want to be able to bid on all of those zombie movies you’ve seen this past year yet didn’t know where to start, this is where you’ll gain the confidence to take on those projects.

Next on our stop of evening offerings is Prosthetics, which is slated to start on the evening of March 12thThis class teaches you how to create realistic makeups utilizing all the skin materials being used in the industry.  Focusing on realism, you learn how to work with silicone gel-filled appliances, pros-aide transfer appliances, gelatin and foam latex.  You will learn how to lifecast, sculpt and cast, as well as learning realistic coloration and blending.  For those learning how to a scar that has to look exactly the same day to day, or create a likeness that has to stand HD scrutiny, this class is for you!

On March 12th, we will also be starting our Evening High Fashion Photographic Makeup Course.  It goes for 12 weeks, and includes all of our Beauty class plus Airbrushing/Bodypainting and Hairstyling, plus a Photoshoot, including models and a cd of your work!  If you’ve been thinking of becoming a beauty makeup artist, but have a day job or other duties that make day training an impossibility, consider our evening classes.  You don’t need any previous training, as it’s our job to teach you from the ground up!  Be it working with cosmetic companies like MAC or Sephora, or you want to break into editorial makeup for photoshoots and work on fashion shows, this would be the course choice that will get you started!

London IMATS 2011 Event

Cinema Makeup School wowed the crowd again in London!  Graduate Gage Hubbard (of SyFy’s Face-Off fame) performed 2 prosthetics in our booth this year.  His model, graduate Gehan Mohammed, was the subject of both of his creepy creations.  The first, on Saturday, as a foam latex dried up zombie look, complete with hand appliances.  The second, applied on Sunday, was a silicone gel filled appliance of a mutant, complete with schoolgirl uniform.  The crowd loved the edgy factor of that particular makeup, and many a laugh and gasp were heard during the transformation.  Even Neil Gorton was drawn into the booth to congratulate Gage on his show stopping masterpiece.
