If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your love for makeup into a real career, getting certified is the best first step. At MakeupClasses.com in Nutley, New Jersey, we don’t just teach you how to apply makeup — we prepare you to become a professional artist with real confidence and skill.
Our certification courses are designed to help you start your beauty career on the right foot. You’ll learn from experienced, working artists, get hands-on practice, and build a strong understanding of how to create looks that flatter every face and photograph beautifully in any lighting.
Learn from the Best
Our founder, Dawn Maloney, is a celebrity makeup artist with over 30 years of experience. She’s also the creator of The Anatomical Makeup Method™, a one-of-a-kind system that you can only learn at MakeupClasses.com.
This patent-pending curriculum (Patent Pending 63/716,477) breaks down beauty through science and structure. Students learn how to recognize and work with 50 unique face shapes, 36 lip combinations, and 32 eye combinations, giving them the skills to create balance and harmony on any client.
What makes this method even more unique is that it teaches color cosmetics based on seven distinct lighting conditions. You’ll learn how to make makeup look amazing in daylight, candlelight, photography, and more — something every artist needs to master.
No other school in the world teaches this approach, which is why our graduates stand out.
Hands-On Training That Builds Confidence
We believe the best way to learn makeup is by doing it. We provide makeup models in our 20 and 40 hour pro classes, giving you time to practice what you learn on real people while getting feedback and guidance from your instructor.
You’ll leave class feeling comfortable working on clients, understanding how to create balanced looks, and knowing how to keep your kit and tools sanitary and professional.
Your Professional Kit
Every student receives a complete professional makeup kit, designed to get you started in your career right away. The kit includes:
Dawn Til Dusk Cosmetics, our USA-made professional makeup line
Professional makeup brushes
Sanitation materials to meet industry standards
The Makeup Artist’s Design Book, written by Dawn Maloney
Our Dawn Til Dusk Cosmetics line is organized by lighting condition — meaning you’ll know exactly which colors look best in each environment. This is part of what makes our program so different from anything else out there.
Inside The Makeup Artist’s Design Book, you’ll find hand-drawn glossaries of facial anatomy and detailed tutorials that show you how to apply makeup for balance and symmetry using shading and counter-shading. It’s a guide you’ll keep referring to long after class ends.
This kit isn’t just full of products — it’s a complete toolkit for launching your career.
Beauty That Lasts from Dawn Til Dusk
Our programs are small, personal, and designed to help you grow. We offer both 20-hour and 40-hour makeup artist certification courses in Nutley, New Jersey, giving you flexibility whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills.
