Train with us

At Greasepaint, we have over 30 years' experience of running professional make-up courses and have produced some of the best make-up artists in the industry. We aim to help you follow in their footsteps ...

"There is not one thing you told me, one piece of advice you gave me, or one tool you provided that I have not used .. " email from Chilean make-up artist, Franklin Sepulveda

"You make students feel like individuals ... It was really scary turning everything upside down to change career (and my life!) but you have all been so incredibly supportive, encouraging and positive .."Alicia Davies, 5* student, April 2011

Our students' hard work and success has built our reputation for excellent make-up training in a caring and friendly atmosphere. We offer professional make-up courses for HDTV, film, theatre and fashion. Our courses last between 1 and 22 weeks and most provide kits and equipment for you to take away. Teaching ratios are kept deliberately low to ensure everyone reaches a very high standard.

Our make-up tutors work at the top of the field, and their expertise is complemented by visiting speakers (for example, Karen Mason, Arianne Poole, Karen Hartley-Thomas, Paul Gooch, Jeremy Woodhead and Chrissie Baker).

Our support continues after the course - we follow up your training with work experience and you are always welcome to phone or visit if you want advice, however long ago you trained.
