Facing Beauty is a unique makeup artistry-learning studio in the heart of Brea’s downtown district. Unlike a cosmetology program, our courses allow students to focus solely on the art and techniques of makeup artistry.
In any of our intensive Facing Beauty courses you will learn the skills needed to create the ultimate illusion of beauty and glamour for print, runway, and video.
Our courses are designed specifically for individuals who are passionate about the industry and are ready to start working as a Certified Makeup Artist. Courses are hands on training through interactive demos by the instructor and student rotations for practical training. Every course is evaluated periodically to provide the most current trends and techniques.
Upon completion of any of our programs, students are awarded a Certificate of Completion in the course taken, business cards, pro card applications, letter of reference, discounts for future courses, and an ongoing membership to our Facing Beauty Glam Squad which is a platform for freelance gigs, internships, events and career opportunities.
