Testimonials:
Attending the Cammua Makeup Academy can only be described as a kick start for my makeup artistry career. I signed up for classes not knowing what to expect but after completing the courses and receiving my certificate I was blown away. Getting the supplies to start working immediately was a big deal but the real thing that helped me the most was having Gia Deo, an experienced and known makeup artist, give us all she knows about the industry. If you think you know everything there is to know about makeup and its application then I highly suggest setting up a tour of one of her schools to see what else you have to learn. The hands on experience and extensive knowledge she gives you while attending her school was priceless to me and I wouldn't be where I am today without it.

I absolutely loved CAMMUA makeup school. I learned so much and it was in a fun and laid back environment. Gia and Janet are great teachers with lots of experience and were really there to answer any questions I had about the industry. Besides the great teaching the kits are amazing! I received so much more high quality makeup than I ever expected.
Besides technique they help you think about how to market your self and go over the business aspect of being a makeup artist. This class is well worth the money, I would recommend it to anyone looking for the best makeup school in the Orange County or San Diego area.

I had been studying makeup application for years when I decided to take a professional makeup class. I thought I already knew most of what they would be teaching me, but I wanted to have a certificate. I was amazed at what I learned! From proper makeup application techniques to the best way to sanitize, I loved it all! The class exceeded my expectations. The instructor understands what it takes to make it in the makeup industry, and even shared trade secrets. My clients are thrilled with their makeup and ask me where I learned my techniques. Thanks CAMMUA! I love my career!
