Make-up Courses
Academy Principal Penny Delamar may be the author of one of the standard text books on make-up - The Complete Make-up Artist - but she knows that the only way to really learn the skills of make-up and hair artistry is through hands-on practical make-up courses.
That's why, when you start a Delamar Academy make-up course, you'll be in the thick of things from day one. Delamar's courses are very light on lecture time and extremely heavy on time spent in workshops and completing practical exercises. That means less time sitting listening and more time honing the skills you came to learn.
Whichever make-up course you choose, you'll find it's fully practical, hands-on, and taught by tutors who are working industry professionals with years of experience - make-up artists who are experts in their field and passionate about what they do.
Staying in touch
You won't feel left out after you leave Delamar Academy, either. We make a point of staying in touch and taking an interest as you put the skills you learned with us to good use in your career. Nothing pleases us more than to hear regular reports of graduates achieving success and maintaining their enthusiasm and enjoyment in spite of the long hours and hard work they dedicate to their craft.
At Delamar, it's important to us that we help you become not only a great make-up artist but also a professional, who can enter the industry directly on completion of your make-up course. Working as a make-up artist is exciting, creative, fun, and challenging: our job is to prepare you to realise your dream by working in a job you love.

"I left a career to join the 14 week course at Delamar, which proved to be the best decision I have ever made. Any nerves I felt soon disappeared thanks to the welcoming and friendly team behind Delamar. I learned a lot of new skills very quickly and loved every minute of my time there. Since leaving I have worked as part of the wig department on 'Wicked' the musical, 'Dirty Dancing', and I am currently doing make-up and wigs on Matthew Bourne's 'Swan Lake'"
