"I’m often asked for advice by people wanting to get started in the world of make-up. There’s no magic formula, it’s about working hard and getting yourself noticed.

To begin with, though, you’ll need a fantastic grounding. When I knew that I wanted to become a MUA, I attended the incredible Glauca Rossi School of Makeup in London where I learnt the basis of the skills and tricks that I still use today".

Follow in the footsteps of many industry leaders and start your training at the Glauca Rossi School of Makeup

Many legendary careers  started here at London's Glauca Rossi School Of Makeup. If you're looking to do a makeup course and enter the  world of a professional makeup artist, then you've found the right place. There are few schools of makeup that can compete with the enviable reputation of the Glauca Rossi approach to makeup artistry. 

This multiple award-winning school has been running since 1989, and it's the place many of the world's greatest makeup artists got their careers started. 

Makeup artists such as Charlotte Tilbury, Hannah Murray, Virginia Young, Emma Lovell, Ken Nakano (Japan), Lauren Parsons,Florrie White & Elisabeth Hsieh are just a small number of the renowned makeup artists that trained here. (see gallery for more)

The School has earned a reputation for innovation, creativity and technical skill. It's a training designed to inspire discovery. It places a great emphasis on each student finding their own individual style.
It also brings with it the great heritage that emanates from the exceptional career of Glauca. 

It's almost like a "royal lineage" of makeup. Glauca regularly worked for magazines such as Vogue, Harpers & Queen and Elle. She was a favourite of photographers such as Lord Snowdon, Norman Parkinson and Bruce Weber. She worked with celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Jerry Hall, Jane Seymour and Meg Ryan. 

All this amounts to an accumulated knowledge of the industry  and it's history that's now passed on to students of the school. 

This knowledge is the bedrock on which the training is built and it's transmitted to each student helping them become the next generation of leaders in the industry. This is how the schools ongoing reputation of excellence continues to grow through the years.

“Don’t wait for inspiration. 
It comes while working."

What Makes The Glauca Rossi School Of Makeup Different From Other Trainings?

If you're looking to become a professional MUA and progress into the makeup industry, you've probably looked at many of the trainings available. You certainly have options and cheaper alternatives. So what is unique about the Glauca Rossi School of Makeup that distinguishes it from other schools?

The Glauca Rossi School places an emphasis on building the individual's unique talents from the ground up. We empower our students to deploy their creative individuality. We also keep the focus relatively narrow on the core skills of fashion, period looks and glam. 

Then we give students lots of time and detailed instruction, so they can become truly expert in each field. In this way they become uniquely equipped to express themselves with an enviable class and uniqueness of style.

The issue with some other courses is that their focus is often too broad to be absorbed properly. The courses don't allow enough time for the skills to be mastered or taught in sufficient detail. In trying to cover everything, students often end up learning very little. Their left with a weak foundation to build their careers on and it often crumbles. 
Students who've come to us from such courses found their foundational skills are not broad enough or well enough developed to give them the necessary confidence to progress well in industry.

Also, If your happen to be wondering about the importance of MUA accreditation, here's the truth of it.

We offer a certificate of completion from the school but not traditional accreditation. We don't think that leaves you in a weaker position as we understand it. 

In reality, the thing that the industry looks at is your portfolio. Hardened professionals in the industry know quality when they see it delivered for real. They trust their eyes. That's how they decide who they want to work with: talent that has been proven to deliver the end result they need.

They are not persuaded by qualifications. A great portfolio is what will open doors for you in this industry and what we help you leave with.
