In our beauty courses, we focus on techniques that can be easily adapted to any face or eye shape. Your personal makeup style determines the style and intensity of the makeup. We aim for a good variety in looks and techniques by sometimes pushing you out of your comfort zone and challenging you to broaden your style a bit, so you can appeal to a wider audience/clientele.

Beauty 1 & 2 each consist of 8 lessons. The courses are short and powerful, packed with information. Thanks to the make-up book, you can easily relive the lessons. You are asked to practice the learned techniques between lessons, so that I as a teacher can go deeper into your questions during the next lesson day. Beauty Pro consists of 9 lessons.

After successfully completing a course, you will always receive a nice certificate. A diploma as a make-up artist does not exist, contrary to what many schools claim. Often, the word "diploma" is played with until you realize it's actually a certificate that proves your attendance during lessons. In my entire career as a make-up artist, no one has ever asked for a diploma or certificate. People come to you because they see your work, so working on your portfolio is a more important aspect of your training. You do NOT need a diploma to start as a make-up artist. So, if you choose a course, you are choosing to improve, receive good guidance, and learn the right techniques in a clear and to-the-point manner.

I (TomV) and Julie Lecarme are instructors at TomVacademy. In my career, I have worked in every segment where makeup is involved, such as fashion, photo shoots, musicals, publications, film, music videos, theatre, retail, festivals and events, private clients, and Hollywood stars. You can therefore count on thorough knowledge and you will notice that I can easily give clear answers to all your questions.
