Where Are They Now?
We are proud that the vast majority of our former students are actively working in the makeup artist industry! While some of our former students have moved on to Los Angeles or New York, most of our students find themselves gainfully employed in the Chicago area. Our former students work in film, television, theater, spas, and also freelance as bridal and commercial makeup artists.
