What should a person interested in becoming a makeup artist learn? Will CG replace practical?

We do not think digital makeup will ever fully replace practical makeup for many reasons, including cost and aesthetics.

We also strongly feel that even a digital makeup artist must have a grounding in the fundamentals of practical makeup.

The more you know about creating and applying convincing makeups in the real world, the better you'll do when attempting to replicate a photorealistic effect digitally.

We offer a fantastic selection of courses covering prosthetic makeup and makeup applications. Simply sort by category on our Courses page to see all of our Makeup Effects courses or enroll in one of our Makeup Effects Learning Pathways:
