You only really get to learn the makeup profession by working on many different models. We have many tips & tricks for finding a model for the lessons. Exclusively for our students we have an online model bank. As a student you can use this for free.

Question 9

Is the 'opleiding visagie' the same as the PRO Makeup Artist Training?

Accepted Answer

Art of Colors trains students, who want to make their work out of make-up. As a school, we have a lot of contact with companies and makeup artists in the beauty industry. In the Netherlands the word 'visagist' was used for makeup artist.We have seen for years now, that 'visagist' is no longer used by people who work in make-up. It refers too much to the work of the beautician or cosmetologist.

In the professional field, Makeup Artist or MUA is used for people who can apply make-up professionally. We have therefore decided to call the training 'PRO Makeup Artist Course'. Most makeup courses (visagie opleidingen) in the Netherlands are shorter and not aimed at training students to become professional Makeup Artists.

Art of Colors only offers makeup courses and through this specialization wants to offer students the best Makeup Artist training that is in line with the work as a Makeup Artist.
