Absenteeism for more than 20% of the total program constitutes cause for dismissal, at which point the School Director will review the case. Excess tardiness may also be cause for dismissal at the School Director’s discretion. Opportunity to make-up missed class days due to illness or emergency will be decided upon a case-by-case basis.

Students are required to dress professionally when attending class. Outfits should be within the industry standard of all or mostly black, other than that the students are able to explore their individual sense of style as a professional artist. Professional appearance also includes conducting yourself in a professional manor (no profanity please), maintaining good hygiene, and not wearing clothing that is revealing, offensive, or considered loungewear (such as gym shoes, flip flops, hooded sweatshirts, yoga pants, etc.).

It is important for students to develop a strong work ethic that demonstrates their professionalism and dedication to the course. Arriving on time, dressing appropriately, and keeping a clean and organized makeup kit are critical traits to becoming a successful makeup artist.

3. The school may retain an established registration fee equal to 10 percent of the total tuition cost, or $100, whichever is less, if the applicant cancels after the fifth business day after signing the contract or making an initial payment.

why choose Vivaluxx?

The world of makeup artistry is an incredibly multifaceted and rewarding profession. A successful makeup artist has a diverse portfolio and the confidence and ability to work with any client or industry professional to execute a desired look. The state of Washington does not require a cosmetology or esthetician license to work as a makeup artist, and these requirements will vary by state. This means that anyone with the dream of becoming a professional makeup artist can do so, even without an education or certificate in makeup artistry.

There is nothing wrong with choosing to be a self taught makeup artist, although that road requires a substantial personal drive to practice and master application techniques on others, all through trial and error, and without a mentor to validate if and why the application is done correctly. Basic knowledge of ingredients, products, and sanitization techniques are minimum requirements of working makeup artists, as well as acquiring and maintaining a professional makeup kit without receiving any professional discounts on those products.

Other major hurdles that self taught makeup artists may endure is that they may not be able to acquire insurance coverage pertaining to their kit and professional liability, and if they are wanting to work in TV and film, or to teach makeup artistry, they will not be qualified to do so without a proper education. Companies looking to hire someone to work at a makeup counter may be more interested in retail experience than makeup education, so that avenue might be more suitable for a self taught makeup artist, although an education in makeup artistry will always be beneficial.

Here are some of the key benefits of becoming a certified makeup artist though Vivaluxx:

Experience. The greatest benefit of attending Vivaluxx is that students will graduate with the confidence and skills required to continue their profession as makeup artists in just 5 months time.

13

Another important part of our curriculum is the business aspect of makeup artistry, which includes writing contracts, utilizing social media, tracking income, understanding tax deductions, and dealing with clients, to prepare the students for maintaining good business practices. Our course begins with the fundamentals of the makeup industry and technical aspects of artistry, then expands through lessons in color theory, history, and advanced makeup applications where the students will practice those fundamentals while exercising their creative muscle. This means lot’s of practice in the technical application, and building confidence in color selection and creative design, all while having a mentor there to answer questions and provide constructive criticism for quick improvement.

Portfolio. The advanced beauty segment of the course has a large emphasis on creative freedom, and having a maximum class size of 8 students allows the Instructor time to consult with each student individually to provide creative support and a plan for technical execution. This allows for each student to have a unique portfolio that reflects their individual artistic style.

Networking. Students at VSMA are introduced to multiple guest speakers, including photographers, event coordinators, and hair stylists for the students to build a network with and utilize as professional contacts in the beauty industry. Classmates are also critical to the students education as they are able to provide each other support and encouragement, and learning in a group setting also allows the students the ability to practice on different faces shapes and skin tones throughout the course.

Perks. Becoming a certified makeup artist gives students credibility, meaning setting higher rates and being qualified for more job opportunities in the makeup industry. Certified makeup artists are eligible to receive product discounts, access to industry events and workshops that provide networking opportunities and advanced education.

Students gain hands on experience by applying makeup on each other. However, VSMA may require the students to bring or be arranged a model, to execute the application and for our professional photoshoots. All models will

sign release forms allowing student and school use of images for their portfolio or social media. Some restrictions may apply.

Photographs of student’s work will be distributed to students per the Instructors’ discretion. Photographers or other collaborative professionals may

have additional release requirements that need to be reviewed.

Grades for assignments and makeup applications are subjective to the Instructors determination of the quality of execution and product selection. By

enrolling at VSMA the student agrees that the Instructor is qualified in determining these grades and accepts the outcome as fair and final.
