Our clients say

More than 5 stars is needed! I cannot recommend KLMA enough! Before training i researched lots of different academies thoroughly. After reading the prospectus, reviews and actually having my makeup done by a past student i decided that KLMA was going to be the best option for me. I started the course with zero experience and quite frankly zero confidence too, and now i can’t believe how far i’ve come. Each lesson the girls would go out of their way to make sure we were all getting the help and support we need. I normally find it so hard to concentrate and take things in, but Kiera’s style of teaching allowed me to master techniques and conquer my challenges. The course exceeded my expectations, believe me when i say you never know how much there is to learn about makeup until you enrol! Thankyou Kiera and all the KLMA team, the academy has given me confidence in myself and a new exciting career to pursue

Hannah L
Pro Artistry
Best decision i’ve ever made! I decided to change careers and do what i’d always wanted to do, terrifying but honestly LIFE changing. I did quite a bit of research into makeup schools and KLMA stood out by a mile. After spending 8 weeks at the academy with the best team and tutors, i was ready to start my new career. I’ve never looked back since, in fact i wish i had done this years ago. I absolutely loved my training here and will definitely be back in the future for the hair course.

Ruth r
Pro Artistry
I did the two week full time course here and knew straight away i had made the perfect choice. From the pristine premises to the level of tuition, the vibe and feel about the place, the amazing team, the structure of the course, to the tools and various brands of makeup you use. The girls were welcoming, supportive, and encouraging through the whole course and it is a credit to them i passed with the tools to further my career in makeup artistry. i will miss it heaps and can’t speak highly enough of KLMA Academy. I’ll be back girls xxx

Nicola G
Makeup Masterclass
Where do i start? This course has completely changed my life and i can’t thank KLMA enough. I’ve gone from struggling and hating my job in retail to being able to pick and choose my own hours, have more time with my little boy and actually earn more than what i did working just two full days a week.I cannot thank Kiera and the girls enough for how well she trained us. I was so nervous before attending due to me not being from a beauty background (just a makeup fanatic) she completely put me at ease from my initial conversation enquiring about the course. Although fun, the course was very educational and a lot of learning and practice is done. Kiera is honest, direct and extremely passionate about what she does and the way she trains and the support doesn’t stop at the end of the course. I cannot praise enough – Highly recommend

Frequently asked questions

How old do i have to be to enrol at KLMA Academy?

Students must be aged 16 or above to enrol on one of KLMA’s Pro certified courses. 

 

However, applicants under 16 years old can complete one of our introductory or 121 sessions providing parental consent is given. Our student age range is varied, with our oldest graduate so far being 63 years young! 

 

You are never to old to start a new dream

Do you accept International students?

Yes, we have students travelling from overseas on a regular basis, Ireland, Iran, Dubai, some as far as Bermuda! We are honoured to be chosen as a training provider for all of them and can recommend local hotels and facilities near the academy campus for during your stay. For international students it is required that you are fluent in English speaking and writing.

What kind of jobs can i get being a fully qualified Makeup artist?

Work opportunities as a professional makeup artist are endless. In the UK alone the beauty industry contributes in excess of 30 billion to the economy and is growing every day. Working freelance in the beauty sector, being salon based, retail cosmetics, fashion, bridal or media/entertainment industries are some of the most popular choices. Other pathways include theatrical productions, remedial camouflage and celebrity makeup artists.

Will i be able to get work?

The simple answer is yes! The makeup industry is one of the most lucrative businesses in the world but like anything it won’t come to your door. 

The industry is ever growing and changeable meaning that as long as you put the work in there will always be opportunities for work.

How much can Makeup artists earn?

Wages vary according to responsibility, experience and sector.

Newly-qualified MUA’s in fashion and editorial will earn about £100 a day for assisting on a shoot, but may have to work for nothing when starting out. A senior make-up artist on an advertising shoot can earn £500 plus per day.

Top make-up artists can earn about £3,000 a day designing make-up for fashion shows. Agencies arrange such jobs but charge the artist up to 20% commission. Film work can pay from £500 to £800 a week. Theatrical work, which can range from face make-up to wig care, pays about the same depending on the job. Makeup artists focusing on clients can charge from £25 -60 per hour and bridal parties an extra surcharge. On average doing clients many makeup artists earn £300+ working a saturday alone.

MUA’s have the opportunity to hold multiple job posts at the same time if they wish and increase income furthermore.

Is the Makeup industry competitive?

Yes, and no! It depends on how you look at it. All careers have some level of competition, which is healthy as it makes you strive to succeed.

Many successful make-up artists work with others in a network. Helping each other by passing on jobs you can not do, sharing jobs and generally supporting each other.

What skills do you need to become a Makeup artist?

You will need…

• Passion for makeup
• Good work ethic
• Good communication and people skills
• An artistic flare
• Creativity and imagination
• Patience, perseverance, reliability and tact
• Excellent attention to detail
• The ability to work well under pressure
• Good time keeping

Do you offer courses for people who don’t want to become a Makeup artist?

Yes, we do! At KLMA we believe every woman should have the opportunity to learn to be her own makeup artist if she wants to. 

Our Introductory master class is designed to give you the perfect platform to start from. Available with a pre-planned itinerary or as a custom lesson to suit your individual needs.

Do you offer top up courses for people who have already trained but want to update their skillset?

Yes, at KLMA we understand training is an ongoing requirement for a successful career.  We offer artist refreshers, upskill, and improvement workshops on a 121 basis and also hold salon training days if you are a business owner and want to elevate your staff’s knowledge and skillset.

Is it only Makeup courses that you offer?

No, KLMA also offers Pro hairstyling and Lash artistry courses which are perfect accompaniments to an artist’s skillset.

At KLMA our aim is for students to be the best in the business and our unique training system has a full understanding of what will get you there.

We show you how to do everything the RIGHT way, first time round
