Welcome to Greasepaint Make-up School

Thanks to our many students who've gone on to great things (the recent TV BAFTA winner Catherine Scoble trained with us), we've built our international reputation for excellent make-up courses for the TV, film, theatre and fashion industries. At last count, our award-winning students include two BAFTA award winners, two Emmy award winners and two Oscar winners.

Established in 1979, we have always welcomed students onto our make-up courses from all over the world. Foreign students can obtain a visa to come and do their make-up training here, through our accreditation by the British Accreditation Council for Further and Higher Education.

The tutors on our makeup courses are industry-based make-up designers who are also highly skilled at passing on their knowledge. At the end of your make-up training, you'll put what you've learnt into practice with our 'on set' filming days and professional photoshoots, plus follow-on work experience. Most courses include kits of make-up and hair products and equipment.

Arrange an appointment to come and talk to us, or come to an open day and meet the students and tutors on our make-up courses. Discuss your future - train to be a professional makeup artist and join our successful students in this exciting career.
