Where they are 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. Many of our current and former students work either part or full time in retail.

Virtually every M.A.C. counter in the Chicago area employs at least one former student—and that is no accident! Many large cosmetic companies, including Estee Lauder and Chanel, regularly visit us to recruit from our student population. Each year, we help staffed the makeup counters all over Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
