The Complete Media Makeup Course + 1-Year Makeup Artist Mentorship Program:

Previous owner and lead instructor of Atlanta Makeup Academy, Kat Pfender, now provides one-on-one Makeup Artist training and mentorship. The Complete Media Makeup Course includes seven one-on-one private mentoring sessions as outlined below. These seven mentor sessions are spaced approximately one week apart and are scheduled from 9:30am until 3:00pm on weekdays (preferably seven consecutive Mondays but days of mutual convenience for the Mentor and the student) in Kat Pfender's home on the northeast side of Athens, GA. As a FREE bonus - the student then has one full year (from the date of first session) of unlimited emails, texts, voice calls, and video chats with your Makeup Artist Mentor. Student receives certification for "The Complete Media Makeup Course" upon completion of the seven mentoring sessions and successful completion of final exam as well as the specialized certification for each session.

This package includes:

  • The Basic Fundamentals of Makeup
  • Lash Enhancements & The Business of Bridal Makeup
  • Portfolio Building + Makeup for Fashion & Photography
  • Basic Airbrush + Intro to Hi-Def Makeup
  • Advanced Airbrush + Makeup for TV & Video Productions
  • Career Planning and Marketing
  • The Complete Media Makeup Course Student Workbook (115 pages)
  • FREE bonus - one full year of unlimited mentorship via phone and email

All for only $2,495 (plus cost of makeup kit, brushes & airbrush system sold separately)

Note: Tuition price does NOT include the purchase of your Makeup Kit and Airbrush System. These are sold separately because many of our students are already working as Makeup Artists and have already started building their makeup kits and do not need these additional expenses added to tuition cost. However, these purchases are NOT required in order to take our one-year makeup artist mentorship program as we will provide everything needed for your in-class use. You will be provided a list of recommendations during your very first mentor session for completing your makeup kit and a list of the items you will need for completing your hands-on practice homework.

 

Some of our 1-Day Mentor Sessions can be reserved individually for $395 each. Of course, these will only include the pages from the workbook relevant to that session as a handout, not the entire workbook. The remaining mentor sessions as well as the 1-Year of unlimited mentoring are only available as part of "The Complete Media Makeup Course" making the price of only $2,495 a great value.
