More Make Up Schools: Quick fire round

So, to wrap up my Make Up Schools feature, I have put together a brief overview of a few other make up schools I know about (via websites because I didn't get a response back from any of these schools whilst I was compiling this feature.

The Cassie Lomas Make-Up Academy

Unlike the other schools, which are located in London, the Cassie Lomas Make-Up Academy is based in Manchester. Founded by two former models and best friends, Make Up Artist Cassie Lomas and former Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost.

All tutors are freelancers, handpicked by Cassie. Students who exceed expectations are invited to assist Cassie at creative events.

The school is due to open January 2011.

The courses range from hair, make-up and bridal, such as;

• Media Make-Up and Hairstyling

Jemma Kidd Make-Up Academy

Former model and big sister to supermodel Jodie Kidd, Jemma Kidd preferred to be behind the camera doing make-up, so she decided to create her make-up range. In 2003, the Jemma Kidd Make-Up Academy was launched to train professional make-up artists and to launch their careers in the industry.

Courses

A variety of courses within each of these categories;

• Professional Masterclasses (courses in this category range from 1 day – 8 weeks)

• Non-professional Masterclass

• Bespoke Masterclass

Couldn’t find any information on fees or make-up brands used (assuming it will be the Jemma Kidd range).

London Academy of Freelance Make-Up (AOFM)

The academy is the first in the industry, where its owned and operated by freelance hair and make-up artists. AOFM is more like an association which has International links and is sponsored and supported by many hair and make-up brands.

The Artists (tutors) at AOFM work with some of the biggest names in the beauty, fashion and media industry, including celebrities.

Courses range from Foundation Level Freelance Make-Up to a Shu Uemura Cosmetics Master Class. All courses include 24 piece pro tool brush collection with brush belt. I’ve just listed two below;
