A New Era in Makeup Education
Makeup artistry isn’t just about trends, blending, or bold color choices—it’s about truly understanding the face. In the Anatomical Makeup Method™ Class, students learn to go beyond surface-level beauty techniques and discover the science and artistry that create balance, harmony, and transformation.
This isn’t your typical makeup class. It’s a deep dive into The Makeup Artist's Design Book, which explains why certain looks work, how structure affects symmetry, and what truly makes makeup transformative instead of decorative. You will learn 50 Face Shapes, 36 Lip Combinations, and 32 Eye Combinations (Patent Pending 63/716,477).
Seeing the Face Like an Artist
In this class, students learn to see beyond the surface—to view the face as a composition of planes, light, and bone structure. They study how the anatomy beneath the skin shapes the way makeup should be applied, revealing the natural beauty and unique features of every individual.
Have you ever wondered why some makeup seems to completely transform a face, while other looks fall flat? The secret lies in understanding anatomy and lighting principles.
What Makes the Anatomical Makeup Method™ Unique
Most makeup classes focus on surface skills: foundation matching, blending, contour trends, or popular looks seen on social media. The Anatomical Makeup Method™ takes a revolutionary approach, teaching artists how to analyze and design makeup looks that align with the natural anatomy of the face.
By mastering this method, artists gain the ability to create makeup that looks cohesive in every lighting condition and enhances—rather than hides—the natural features of their clients.
What Students Will Learn
Sculpt with Precision: Understand how bone structure and facial proportions guide contouring and highlighting.
Analyze Face Shapes: Practice sessions identifying and studying unique facial structures.
Create Naturally Moving Looks: Design makeup that adapts with expression and movement.
Professional Guidance: Learn directly from expert instructors and industry professionals.
A Class for Every Artist
By the end of this course, students don’t just know how to contour a cheekbone—they understand why and how to enhance natural balance and beauty.
Whether you’re drawn to soft glam, editorial artistry, or natural looks, The Anatomical Makeup Method™ (Patent Pending 63/716,477) helps you see makeup through a new lens.
The best part? You can take this class in person or online, learning at your own pace from anywhere in the world.
Because Real Makeup Artists Don’t Just Apply Makeup — They Understand Anatomy.
