Make-Up Artist Career

Friday, 11 September 2009

If you want a career as a make-up artist, whether you're ready to take your next step in education or needing a change in direction the most important thing to get the right training. The London Make-Up Academy was created by Nicole Arter, still the main tutor, a make-up artist with a background in fashion modelling, working in countries across the globe before making the switch to make-up artistry. Since that time Nicole has worked with hundreds of talented artists and high profile clients such as Cat Deeley, Paris Hilton and Ricky Gervais and for high profile titles including Vogue and Harpers & Queen. Having spent time working as a model Nicole realised that she wanted to be on the other side of the curtain, in a more creative role, one which offered more variety and excitement. A make-up artist career offered just that.

One hugely important factor which puts the LMA above any other make-up school (actually there are many reasons why the LMA is the only choice if you want a long and meaningful career as a make-up artist) is the attention to the 'career' aspect. Beyond the extensive experience and knowledge in the fashion industry and in make-up that Nicole has built over the years, she also completed a degree in Business, and uses this to great effect in instilling the values and core constructs of Business into her teaching. Understanding the need for her students to be able to develop their own career once the course is complete Nicole strongly believes that her role is not only to nurture the skills of a make-up artist, but also to help prepare them for running a business, which is exactly what they'll need to do once they are a full-time make-up artist.

The course itself is full of content relevant to the fashion industry today. Following her own studies Nicole found the majority of training for make-up artists to be in serious need of updating to bring it in line with the 21st Century. It was the inadequacies in make-up schooling which led Nicole to create the Academy in the first place.

So if you want a meaningful career as a make-up artist, at a place where your individual skills will be nurtured to help you create your own style and carve your own niche, whilst also providing you with the know-how to survive in a fast-moving and challenging industry then don't hesitate to contact The London Make-Up Academy today.
