The Delamar Academy goal

Our goal is simple: to provide you with such excellent training in all areas of make-up and hair that you will fulfil your potential and achieve success in the industry.

We do this by ensuring that:

  • You spend as much time as possible at your make-up place working on the techniques you learn.
  • You are taught by top professional make-up artists who are all active in the industry.
  • You are inspired and encouraged by tutors who are as passionate about teaching make-up as they are about working on film sets, fashion shoots, and theatrical productions.

Our success = your success

We'll work hard to help you on your career path by providing both work experience and job placements, as well as regular one-to-one guidance and advice sessions - both during and after the course.

The enormous success rate of our graduates working in the Film, TV, Theatre and Fashion industries all over the world maintains our excellent reputation as a make-up academy. Of course, not every student chooses to work on a film set and our graduates across the globe are running their own companies, beauty schools, or creating their own cosmetic ranges.

Seeing our graduates become the best of their generation of make-up artists over the last 20 years has made us extremely proud. But it's a team effort: we continue to be successful because our students are successful.

The Delamar Approach

Learning from top make-up artists, hairdressers, and special effects experts in small-sized classes means you will soon master the skills needed for working professionally.

Delamar Academy is a small and friendly make-up school, with the emphasis very much on giving you the individual attention you need. We'll pass on to you not only our passion and enthusiasm for make-up and hair but also our love of Films, TV, Fashion, and the Theatre. You will receive every encouragement to fulfil your potential, as well as valuable work experience and contacts provided by our agency.

When you leave Delamar Academy at the end of your course, you will be confident that you have had the best possible training in professional make-up.

We look forward to welcoming you to Delamar Academy.
The UK's leading professional make-up school.
