"Recently trained at the Central School of Makeup to do the 2 week IMA Foundation Course. Best decision I've made. I learnt so much in a short space of time and I feel so much more confident in applying makeup to others. There was so much makeup to try and I loved the hours and hours of practical that we had each afternoon. I can't thank Laura and Becky enough. I met so many lovely girls and I thoroughly enjoyed my training."

"I completed the 4 week IMA course and the 5 day hair course. I learnt so much and gained a great deal of knowledge from our wonderful teachers. They gave us a great insight into what it is like to be a makeup artist in the industry. Diana is a great hair teacher too and couldn't be more helpful. I couldn't recommend these courses enough. I am now looking forward to working in this industry and very impressed with the ongoing support I have received from them."

"I did the two week foundation course in April and really enjoyed it. It really helped me in improving my makeup skills and also my confidence. The tutors were really helpful and supportive as well as the other students. This course if different from other makeup courses for a few reasons:

- you receive an international accreditation
- you have to prove you have learnt what you need to to because a professional MUA
- the central school of makeup and it tutors support you when the course is over.
I actually missed the course when it was all over!"

Training professionally in makeup artistry is by far one of the toughest technical challenges I've ever given myself. I am so glad I went to The Central School of Makeup as, although they were super-strict and thorough, I now have an excellent understanding of why and how which has given me wings and freedom in my artistry. The teachers are just excellent; they are beyond the best in their various fields and all of them have serious mileage in retail, pro makeup, LFW and international makeup artistry at Vogue cover level as well as theatre and TV. I have no idea why they would want to spend days teaching Luddites like me! But I am so glad they do. This was such a rewarding experience. I made some great friends, discovered so many new ideas and methods and worked with some interesting (not say stunning) models. Loved, loved this course and all the colour theory too. The science and techniques were truly absorbing. I've since booked more one-on-one courses and am so proud to have started my pro makeup artist journey from the best place. Very proud to be an IMA and graduate of The Central Makeup School. Forget TikTok and Instagram and the online tutorials ; if you are serious about the transformative power of makeup, come here.
