Until
recently there was one huge problem with makeup education through distance learning
If you are a makeup lover with the dream of studying professional makeup from the comfort of your home, until recently this scenario was nothing more than a dream. Makeup through distance learning was impractical, if not impossible.
The courses on the market were barely visual, full of old-fashioned methods and seminars promoted by corporate publishers. Worse, they lacked a proven and solid basis for instruction of professional makeup.
If you’ve had this dream at some point, read on and you’ll see how Elite Makeup can help you fulfill your dream of becoming a professional makeup artist.
“Being an Elite Makeup student made me realize that I liked the world of makeup so much that I wanted to dedicate myself to it completely. Immediately after finishing the course, I found my first job as a makeup artist. I can say that it was the starting point; since then, I’ve been able to work in theater, television, as a Lancôme trainer, and in photography and trailers.”
Carmen Marina (Madrid)
“The course is very exciting. It’s amazing how much information can be obtained if you combine passion, knowledge and instruction. The experience with the course has been fantastic! I live in an area where there are no makeup artistry schools, so naturally, this course appealed to me. “
Khrisean Thomas (California,
USA)
“I have the highest respect for Elite Makeup. The design and organization of the course have been phenomenal. Each step is planned to enable the student to receive quality instruction. Feedback from instructors is always prompt. Instructors are polite, providing encouragement and guidance. All course materials and the timeline are easy to follow.”
“Professional makeup has impacted my life greatly. Besides finding relaxation by doing something that I love, I have been able to meet people, bring out the beauty within people, and thus bring out the beauty within myself.”
Renee Dutt (Bangor,
USA)
When I first signed up for the ElitePro's distance learning course in makeup artistry, I was primarily looking to develop another interest following the sale of my not so creative 25-year old business in the financial services industry (in retrospect, very well timed in view of the worldwide credit crunch!). Little did I know that ElitePro's makeup course would rekindle in me an innate passion for colour, glamour, theatrics and design. Subsequently, I have become a woman obsessed with the miracle effects of makeup application.
In my view, the ElitePro distance learning makeup artistry course is the most cost effective, innovative and easily accessible source of information available for lovers of makeup. An easy to follow study plan, underpinned by expert tuition and practical demonstrations, takes you step-by-step into a wonderful world of creative passion. This is the essential learning course for adults who want their work to be play and I loved it!
As a mature student (amazingly at age 60, I have now successfully embarked on a new career specialising in bridal makeup and studio work) I hadn't done any studying for years, so it is a testament to the quality of the course and the support of my online tutor, who consistently gave me all the help and encouragement I needed throughout, that I achieved such outstanding results for my practical and theoretical coursework and success in the final exam, which is completed in your own time at home.
Gratification for your efforts is instant as test results are given almost immediately; better still, any mistakes or misunderstandings are explained and fixed correctly before you move on to the next phase of learning.
In my view, this is the best course for obtaining a makeup artist's diploma in the comfort of your own home and I would highly recommend it to any beauty aficionado wanting to develop their skills or to simply have fun!
“Finally, the #1 professional makeup school in Spain allows you to study professional makeup from the comfort of your home."
Why
Spain?
Spain has become the leading force in fashion and professional makeup in the last decade in Europe. With top fashion shows in Barcelona and Madrid and an ever-evolving movie industry, Spain has emerged as a major source of artistic inspiration in Europe. Today, Spain is considered the ideal location to launch a makeup career.
The
international cosmetics industry’s best-kept
secret
Following the success of our on-site courses, we began receiving requests from people all over the world—people who were eager to fulfil their dreams of becoming makeup artists, but who were unable to take our on-site course in Spain. Tired of seeing impractical courses with no serious focus on makeup training, we decided to roll up our sleeves and replicate our on-site courses as closely as possible.
The Spanish-language distance-learning course was launched on the 14th of November 2005. It was an instant hit, with students from all over Spain and South America signing up.
We have since received repeated requests for an English version of the course—enough demand, in fact, that we decided to launch an English-language-based course.
The English version of the course was launched on the 12th of June 2006. It, too, was a huge success, with students signing up from all over the world—people from Great Britain, Ireland, the USA, and Australia quickly filled up all the student slots.
“Read on to learn about Elite Makeup founder’s radically different approach to professional makeup training.”
When Asun Parra set out to change the way professional makeup was taught in Spain, she could not have foreseen the incredible response that the Elite Makeup Professional Makeup system would receive.
Asun has fast become one of the beauty industry’s leading entrepreneurs. A former model and a major expert on the beauty scene in Spain, she was responsible for launching the leading High Street makeup brand in Spain and has been involved in several hugely successful online beauty ventures.
A trained makeup artist and passionate teacher, Asun set out to create a step-by-step system of instruction. She called her highly systematic approach "The Complete Makeup Profession in Just 10 Weeks." And Assun knew that detailed advice on finding work as a makeup artist would be just as important to her students’ success as the makeup training itself.
Since its launch in 2003, Elite Makeup has become the leading makeup school in Spain, attracting students from all over Spain and South America.
With hundreds of successful students graduating every year and finding lucrative work with major cosmetics houses, theaters, and the movie industry, Asun set out to replicate the system so that anyone could study professional makeup from the comfort of their home.

Where
you can work as a makeup artist
Today, new products and techniques make this profession increasingly attractive; in fact, the world of professional makeup is enjoying some of its most promising moments.
Thanks to the entry of more new television channels, new products and new makeup brands, there has never been a better time to be a professional makeup artist.
The world of makeup offers you many job possibilities. You can work in fashion, development of video clips, advertising campaigns, or cosmetics sale, to name a few examples.
In your own neighborhood, there are thousands of potential clients who need your services for weddings, events, makeup lessons, or simply to look better. And if you follow this up with freelance jobs with photographers, magazines and cosmetics sales, you’ll be on your way to a very lucrative career.
Five ingredients for your future job and
business as a makeup artist
1. Low investment
Today, launching any small business franchise can mean an investment of more than $30,000. Starting a small makeup business will cost you a fraction of that.
2. No employees
You are the only employee. It’s your business and it’s completely under your control. By not having to contract or train people, you free yourself from all of the expenses that having more personnel incurs, and you have none of the hassles that come with having to manage staff.
3. A steadily growing sector
There is always a demand for beauty services, and as we women know, no one can make us skip our day at the hairdresser’s or stop us from buying that lotion we need so much, or from putting on makeup for that special occasion. Beauty products and services will always be in demand; in fact, it’s one of the fastest-growing sectors of the economy. The beauty industry is growing in leaps and bounds by more than 7% a year.
4. Fun and exciting Working in a field you truly enjoy is fundamental if you want to live a life of self-fulfilment. Professional makeup is fun and exciting. Bringing out the physical beauty in people is very rewarding.
5. Little or no risk
You can work as a makeup artist from the comfort of your own home. You don’t have to make great investments in stock or furniture. The risk factor is practically zero.
Any business you find that offers two or three of these factors is an intriguing one. Being a self-employed makeup artist can be one of the most popular and profitable creative jobs that you could do.
“Frankly,
this course is not for everyone”
We have very high standards at Elite Makeup. Our course is for motivated students and frankly, it’s not for everyone. We want to work with enthusiastic students who have dedication and dreams of getting a real job. If you are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme or are unwilling to invest your time in learning and following the system, then you might as well stop reading now.
What do you need to complete this course?
Information and systems With your distance-learning course you’ll have all the systems and information to launch into the world of professional makeup.
Desire
Your passion and desire are the motor of your future. Without them, you are like a car without gas. To pursue any career or start any business, you need drive—loads of it!
Discipline
You need to have discipline to be able to study, practice and take the necessary steps to establish yourself as a makeup artist. We give you a plan, but the plan needs your discipline to make it happen.
Ability to take action Let’s be realistic. Thinking about something does not make it happen. Sheer desire won’t, either—the only thing that works is getting down to action now; following your dreams now is the easiest way to obtain your ideal life. The decision to take action with Elite Makeup system’s tools will bring you a step closer to your dream of having a career as a professional makeup artist.
The three most
important and frequently asked questions about the course
1. Can I really learn to become a makeup artist at home? With Elite’s distance-learning makeup course, learning from home is as easy and visual as an on-site class.
Our complete study plan shows you step-by-step how to obtain the maximum benefit from the course. Also, with your support tutor, you will have the follow-up you need and practical directions for your development as a makeup artist.
2. I love makeup, but I don’t want to leave my present stable job. You decide how, and how many hours, you want to work as a makeup artist. You can work part-time applying makeup in your neighborhood for weddings, events, or friends. Or you can work as a freelancer during your spare time until you feel secure enough with your client base to leave your present job.
The
great advantage of being a makeup artist is that
you decide how much you want to earn and when
you want to work.
3. Do I receive any accreditation through
the course? Once
you’ve finished the course and have completed
and passed the final exam, you will receive a
certificate accrediting your training as a professional
makeup artist through Elite Makeup’s distance-learning
system.
“Thanks to your innovative training techniques, in a short time I’ve acquired the necessary know-how to radically change my life and dedicate myself to the world of makeup, something that has always fascinated me. Elite has made it possible for me to discover that I could earn a living through something that was only a hobby. It has given me the chance to practice with different professional models and to be able to interact within the world of beauty and of fashion.
Makeup has always been one of my passions, but because of a series of circumstances, I’ve mainly worked in the field of administration, an impersonal profession that I never felt was me. Now, thanks to Elite, I have the knowledge and the necessary tools to turn my passion into a career with a future.”
The system will show you through eight DVDs and manuals everything you need to know about professional makeup, techniques, tools, and, of course, how to put makeup on anyone from a model to a housewife

Ana Granados Madrid
Why
does the system work?
When we decided to launch our first distance-learning course, we had two things crystal clear:
1. We should maintain the same training quality as in our schools, but with the added comfort of the student setting his or her own schedule.
2.
The training should be just as visual as an on-site
class. The eight DVDs give easy, step-by-step
instructions on applying makeup like a professional.
