The Best MakeUp Artist Training

Are you seeking a really varied and enjoyable job behind the scenes in the entertainment business? Take a close look at our makeup artist training. For nearly 3 decades the people behind Brushstroke makeup training have been running courses that help people create successful careers as artists in film, TV, stage and fashion. (The list of productions that our students and tutors have worked on over the years is too long to feature on this website but you’ll find notable productions on Our Students page).

Makeup artists play an important role in the success of a production helping directors, designers and performers realise their vision. Your chance to be part of it starts here – with the very best makeup artist training at Brushstroke.

Insightful and in-depth Training

We have a reputation for insightful and in-depth makeup artist training that turns our students into sharp and versatile professionals. Brushstroke professional training is of the very highest standard delivered by our tutors who are themselves professional makeup artists working in different parts of the entertainment world. Our students receive the amount of relevant practical, hands-on teaching that only a specialist training provider such as Brushstroke can provide.

As one of our makeup students, Katharine Scott says: “I know that without the sound teaching and continued support from everyone at Brushstroke, I would not be as confident as I am in my chosen career.”

Get on the Credits List

Our makeup artist training will give you every opportunity to get on the credits of some of the biggest films and most-loved TV programmes – just like many of our tutors and students. This includes international students who benefit from Brushstroke training through our diploma courses and short courses. Our purpose-built makeup training facilities are the largest in the UK and Europe and located within the dynamic film complex of Shepperton Studios. So you’ll be immersed in the world of entertainment right from the start.

A varied career and a good living awaits you as a school leaver or career changer. All you need is enthusiasm, a willingness to succeed. And of course Brushstroke makeup artist training.
