Artistry Workshops
The truth is, there is much more to know about true makeup artistry than simply technique, which effectively creates technicians. Academy of Glam is not a vocational facility... it is a fertile breeding ground to explore and enhance the passion and skill of those who are working artists or simply natural makeup geeks! We are about true art. We are about performance and focus to enhance skill and break through barriers. Passion drives true makeup artists to study, work hard, and constantly strive to enhance their skill and challenge the artist that lives with in them. Often the road block to a successful artist is a lack of confidence in skill and comfort in the challenging and ever changing variables and environments for working artists.
Academy of Glam is in many ways a Makeup Artistry Fantasy Camp... we break down all the road blocks by exploring and creating true art - in real sets - on top models - with world class photographers. We challenge you to think outside the box, develop an artistic flow and master the concepts and creativity of true artistry to enhance your performance and personal growth to a new level.
Are you really passionate about makeup? Some artists tell us they have been fascinated with makeup their whole lives. Finally, we are a makeup artist's happy place, blending all the components you have ever dreamed of to live your fantasy of amazing photo shoots, tips and tricks from top professionals and to further your skill to a level you may not have know you had in you! Come blossom in our rich artistic soil!
Live your dream as we ignite your passion. Academy of Glam inspires makeup artistry for a new generation of artists.
"It's time to walk confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined." - Thoreau
