“AOFM has a great environment—clean, organized, spacious, and a great variety of brands. Everything we needed was provided, and I liked that we got to practice using different hair tools, products, and makeup brands. Different instructors taught each topic, and I learned useful techniques from all of them. Special thanks to Valentino who is my favorite instructor. He is highly skilled, very detailed, and patient when giving feedback. He can do all types of makeup, and I learned so much from him. The school didn’t just focus on makeup skills but also on professionalism. We learned about personal hygiene, how to dress properly, time management, and discipline, which are important qualities for success in the industry. AOFM is an excellent place to expand your knowledge and build a career in freelance makeup. By the end of the course, I had a newfound appreciation for makeup artists and felt even more motivated to pursue this path. Overall I had an amazing experience there and built valuable connections!”

“I recently completed my 6-weeks artistry course at AOFM, and it was truly a life-changing experience. From the moment I walked through those doors, I knew I was in for something special. As an MUA with previous experience, I thought the course would be repetitive at the beginner level, but I was proven wrong. Every step of the course taught me so many new things, from starting to the end of the course. I learnt a lot of new techniques that I'm definitely gonna apply to mine. The journey wasn't easy, it got very challenging at the end but it only pushed me to be better, and I’m so grateful for the way the mentors guided, supported, encouraged, and pushed me to be the best at my work. They will forever be a big part of my journey. Initially, I thought I’d feel alone, but I ended up making friends who became like family. We laughed, learned, and created memories that I’ll cherish forever. This course didn’t just make me a better makeup artist; it made me a better version of myself. I found my confidence, honed my skills, and discovered new techniques that have elevated my artistry to the next level. To the incredible mentors, thank you for your guidance and patience. To my wonderful friends and classmates, thank you for the laughter, support, and unforgettable memories. AOFM has been an incredible journey, and I’ll always look back at this chapter with gratitude and pride. For anyone considering this course, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s an experience of a lifetime.”

“I had an incredible experience at AOFM in Dubai! The eight-week course was extremely thorough, covering a wide range of skills from beauty makeup to SFX, theatrical, and bridal makeup. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and provided hands-on training that was invaluable. What sets AOFM apart is their aftercare program graduates can return anytime for a free refresher course, which is a fantastic opportunity for continuous learning. We also took a separate hairstyling course, which included vintage styles and blow-dry techniques. Additionally, we got to meet different freelance makeup artists, each with unique experiences and styles, which was great to learn from. You don't need to bring anything with you to the school they provide everything. I highly recommend AOFM for anyone serious about a career in makeup artistry!”

“I graduated from AOFM, studying the academy's Total Pro course at the London campus. The course was concise and taught by working makeup artists, which makes the course really relevant. I have been given the opportunity to lead shows in the major fashion capitals with AOFM; London, Milan, New York and Paris. I even recently had a work opportunity in Morocco! The school has provided me with opportunities for growth and has also enabled me to be part of and to grow my makeup family. The other makeup artists you get to meet are incredible, and to learn from each other is really special. The school promotes diversity and I am really grateful for the friends I have made from all across the globe 🌎”

“I took the AOFM Total Pro Creative course at the London campus, and it was a fantastic experience that comprehensively covered all the key aspects of freelance makeup, in addition to modules on hair styling and nails. We had a wide range of instructors with decades of experience between them, some of whom had personally worked on some of the world’s most famous faces. The variety and professionalism were highlights, along with the beautiful studio in the heart of Shoreditch and an intimate class from a broad range of ages and backgrounds. Since graduating from AOFM, I’ve had so many incredible backstage opportunities. I’ve assisted backstage at both on-schedule and off-schedule shows at London Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. I’ve worked on graduate showcases for the Jimmy Choo Design Academy, assisted with makeup for the launch of a Love Island winner’s fashion brand, and even got to go on a whirlwind, five-day trip to Marrakech for a top UK fashion university, meeting amazing people and talented creatives along the way. I treasure not only the glamour and fun, but also all the amazing people you meet along the way, including fellow makeup artists, hair stylists, models, designers, photographers and others. Through various people on the AOFM team whom I’ve got to know, I’ve also had the opportunities for external work, from assisting with shoots for renowned photographers and working backstage at charity fashion shows to flexing my creative muscles with face-painting and body-painting. Each job, from the big to the small, helps build my confidence and gets me closer to my goal of supporting myself full-time in the varied and exciting world of freelance makeup.”

“I did the 6 week Complete Artistic Pro course in Hairstyling and Makeup Artistry in AOFM’s Dubai campus. As a complete beginner who has only ever done self makeup, this was very useful for me. My aim was to get to a point where I could take clients and I’m happy to say that I can do that now. The classes were great and we had the wonderful opportunity to learn from different teachers from all over the world. Basics of hairstyling to bridal hairstyles were included as well and we worked with all the best available products. I would recommend this course for absolute beginners and for experienced professionals who want to upgrade their skills with SFX, prosthetics or airbrush makeup. The best part of the course is the aftercare program they offer , through which you can retake any of their classes which is very useful as refresher. As someone who has recently availed this opportunity, I vouch for it as you always learn something new. Special thanks is due to Val for his wonderful lessons and Sara for always being there to help us with any queries.”

“Attending the course at the Dubai AOFM has been an incredibly transformative experience for me. It’s not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about internal growth and personal development. The curriculum was meticulously crafted to nurture not only academic excellence but also holistic growth. One aspect that truly stood out was the depth of teaching, which delved into the roots of each subject and even extended to encompassing systems beyond borders, like those found in India and other parts of the world. What sets this course apart is the diverse array of teachers for each module. This not only provided a rich tapestry of perspectives but also ensured a comprehensive understanding of the subjects. The commitment of the teachers to review and refine our understanding was commendable. It made us feel valued and instilled a sense of responsibility in our learning journey. Moreover, the nurturing environment of the academy played a pivotal role in fostering our growth. The kindness and support extended by all staff members created a conducive atmosphere for learning. It’s rare to find such a blend of academic rigor and emotional support in educational institutions. The teachings imparted during the course are unparalleled. The depth of insight and the practical applications offered are something I believe I couldn’t have obtained elsewhere. Every day spent in class was enlightening, and it’s safe to say that I emerged from the course not just with knowledge but with a renewed perspective on life. In essence, the course at the AOFM has been nothing short of life-changing for me. It has equipped me with not just academic prowess but also with the tools to navigate through life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a transformative educational journey. Working with AOFM as an Assistant is a dream come true .. I wish I get this opportunity”

“One of my best experiences ever! I got the chance to enroll in AOFM's "The 6 Day Level 2 Foundation in Professional Makeup" and always regretted not being able to stay for more. I love that this course is accessible in different countries, as it gives opportunities to anyone around the world. Even as a beginner course, it covers all the essentials one needs to embark on this journey. Constructive criticism, personal tips and tricks from years of professional experience, and learning from several artists from different backgrounds and specializations were a few of the many things that give credit, professionalism, and beauty to this course. The environment was amazing. Students and instructors alike are very welcoming and helpful. Not only did I learn immensely from the talented instructors, but getting to work with the different students allowed me to better understand all the information that was being taught and gave me hands on experience to implement it, as well as pick up techniques from multiple aspiring artists. This academy and everything it offers fails to disappoint. I always hope for getting another chance to come back and progress even more.”
