The Wink Philosophy:
Training for the Professional Makeup Artist...

At Wink Makeup Studio and Academy, we offer professional makeup and hair training, as well as portfolio building, in a variety of workshops. The Wink learning environment is intimate, warm and caring. We believe in flexible, work at your own pace type of schedules, small classes and intensive hands on and up to date makeup training that will prepare you extensively for the part of the makeup industry in which you wish to excel.

Our makeup training caters to beginners and to beauty professionals. At our makeup school, you can begin or fast track your professional makeup career. You can also update your makeup training to acquire skills that will allow you to enter into a different realm of the beauty and makeup industry. Wink’s makeup workshops are lead by instructors who are professional makeup artists in the film, television, stage, fashion and bridal makeup industries, and whom also have extensive teaching experience.

As experienced, top makeup artists, we also have an innate understanding of what it takes to create a successful career as a makeup artist. At Wink, our mission is not only to give industry relevant training, but to exceed industry standards, and to provide the tools and the opportunity for artists to produce a top notch professional fashion portfolio and to build their resume; to stand above their competition. We believe that one of the key secrets to a makeup artist’s success is their portfolio. Every agent, producer, photographer, director or contact that you meet, will want to see your book. As they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Our workshops not only follow, but exceed industry standards, thereby providing you with the knowledge and marketing tools necessary for your success in the makeup industry. You will not only receive thorough training at Wink Makeup Studio & Academy, but also an honest perspective of the makeup industry’s demands, and the skill set required for a successful makeup career.

We strive to inspire you to do and to become your best by providing you not only with theoretical and hands on training in the classroom, and the chance to shoot with models and fashion photographers, but also, with the opportunity to learn and to experience as assistants, and volunteers, what is expected of an artist behind the scenes of a variety of productions. Since we have a photo studio on the premises where we shoot models from various agencies on a regular basis, you will have first hand experience of what it’s like for a fashion artist. Our instructors also have the opportunity to take students to volunteer for fashion shows or bridal/special events, and also on set to view or participate as volunteers in film, television or theatre productions.

We want you to know exactly what to expect from our instructors and our workshops. We encourage you to make an appointment to see our school, and to talk to your instructors and view their portfolios. We wish you success in your endeavours and hope to see you at the academy.
