For a MAKE UP FOR EVER alumnius, there are lots of job offers, whether as a make up artist, brand ambassador or sales person. Brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, ICI PARIS XL, Benefit Cosmetics, Dior, Chanel engaged our alumni as freelancers or with an open-ended employment contract. An education at the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy opens doors!

By training in a renowned school like the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy, many of our alumni can start their careers immediately after graduation. Due to our detailed and extensive teaching schedule, our alumni 's are also asked to teach in other schools in and outside Belgium. Our artistic module is one of the many strengths of the Academy, which is why our alumni 's are asked to give specialised make up master classes because of their expertise. Choosing to persue a career in education gives the make up artist a more regular professional life, as the teaching schedule is predefined. This contrasts with the life of a freelancer, where variety is the norm. The working conditions of a freelancer are highly variable, intense periods with lots of assignments alternate with more calming moments. So there is something for every character in the make up world.

A typical day in the Academy starts at 9:30h, with a 3 hour demo given by the teachers. After a lunch break of an hour, the students can practice themselves on the theme of that day, from 13:30h until 16:30h. These typical teaching days will be interspersed with practical days, where the students can practice all day on a given theme or technique.

Communication during classes is in English, French and Dutch, so for both multilingual and monolingual students, this is a very valuable learning opportunity. Personal Feedback will be given in the student's native or preferred language (French, Dutch or English).

These internships can take place on course days, at weekends or during holidays. They can also take place during the day or in the evening/night.
