Before you start your career in the competitive field of professional makeup, it’s important to get a quality education. There are many different makeup schools in the United States, which can sometimes make it difficult for students to make a choice. Here are three things to consider when selecting a makeup school:

Licensing: It’s important that you enroll in a makeup school that is licensed by an accrediting body. For example, the Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges and licensed by the Florida Department of Education. This means that multiple organization have affirmed that the school follows legal guidelines and meets or exceeds industry standards for the quality of education offers.

Quality of Instructors: The quality of the education that students receive at schools for makeup artistry is directly related to the experience and skills of their instructors. In looking for a makeup school, you want to make sure you are taking classes from teachers who are not only adept at giving instruction to student but who also have experience working in the industry and can share the lessons they’ve learned with their students.

In-Depth Classes in Specific Subjects: There’s a good chance that you are attending a makeup school because you have a specific career goal in mind. For this reason, it’s important that you make sure that the school you attend has specific classes geared toward your career path. For example, if you want to work in horror and sci-fi films, you will want to make sure that you attend a special effects makeup artist school with an emphasis on film and TV makeup.

The Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry is the only licensed and accredited makeup school in South Florida. Students take make up classes to prepare them for careers in retail, photography and special effects makeup.
