The Academy of Freelance Make Up is at the forefront of training successful world-famous fashion, photographic, and wedding make up artists. We are unlike other hair and make up school, which don't offer up-to-date teachers. At AOFM we offer training from over 20 of the best international freelance hair and make up artists in the business. These artists currently work with the biggest fashion designers such as Versace, Armani and Prada. They also work on catwalk shows, TV shows, fashion magazines, and with celebrities. As a result these artists are able to give you the most up-to-date teaching available.. AOFM offer one, two or three-week, highly intensive hair and make up courses.

We also offer a selection of master classes with M.A.C pro cosmetics as well as fashion week master classes in London and Paris. All of these courses are with top working freelance make up and hair stylists Other make up schools offer only one teacher over a duration of a course giving you only one person's opinion on how to apply make up. We teach using a different guest hair and make up artist every day, enabling you to experience their many skills and ways of applying the art of make up and hair styling, giving you a more unique and personal way to learn. We are the only UK make up and hair styling school whose hair and make up courses are sponsored and supported by Babyliss PRO, Bobbi Brown cosmetics, Dermalogica, and Glamour magazine. AOFM is also the only UK make up school to send students on jobs and work experience during and after make up courses with clients such as designers at London Fashion Week, Christian Dior and magazines like Vogue.

As a make up artist it is crucial to understand the tools of the trade. This is why the Academy offers you the opportunity when training with us to learn and work with over 25 of the most professional brands, including MAC, Christian Dior, Lancôme, and Giorgio Armani to name a few.

At AOFM all our courses are kept small with one tutor and up to two assistants. This ensures you receive the highest level of attention and one-to-one training. As one of the UK's leading make up artist schools our range of make up courses run 6 days a week Monday to Friday, giving you more time to learn and develop your skills.

Our tutors are some of the finest international freelance hair and make up artists in the industry. Since we all had to start somewhere, we understand how expensive it can be to start in this industry.
