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

As a graduate of AOFM , I can definitely say that it's been an amazing experience ! AOFM is the only makeup academy in Dubai which covers all the topics that I wanted to learn for a decent price (especially if you book early). Also you can retake any of the classes for free! They got a great aftercare program and you will have the opportunity to attend masterclasses and possibly have a chance to join their pro team. AOFM is suitable for both beginners and professionals. If you're a beginner you will learn everything there is to know about makeup from A-Z in great detail and the trainers explains in a way that is easy to understand. If you're an experienced makeup artist you learn alot of creative techniques, have access to alot of products you wouldn't normally get to use such as an airbrush machine and sfx products and you will greatly improve your skills! I want to thank all the staff and trainers of AOFM for being so helpful and professional. Sara who's at the reception is very friendly and very informative, she told me all that there is to know about the academy and was always there to help us. Valentino, the educational manager is super knowledgeable with alot of experience in the industry and really pays attention to eveyones individual needs. Amanda and Ivana are also amazing trainers. They're both super knowledgeable, talented and have alot experience especially when it comes to working in the tv/film industry which a field I really want to get into. I will say that you need to go into this with full dedication and be very passionate about makeup because it is a very intense course but it's totally worth it. Overall, I'm very happy and satisfied with the course. I learned so much and made great connections there. I will most likely attend their other courses in the future especially for sfx.

I took the 6 weeks "Dubai Complete Artistic Pro, Specialist in Hair Styling and Makeup Artistry" course. It is open to beginners. I graduated From AOFM last October 2022. I did a lot of research on this school before committing my savings and taking a change in direction in my life. It was the best decision I made to be with this school, these teachers, and my wonderful batchmate friends. Love you all. AOFM has now opened up a lot of opportunities for me. If I could give a million stars I would. They are not just a make-up school; they will help you to grow in your career as a make-up artist. All the teachers Nikki, Jade, Emily, JoJo, Betty , dani and Valentino provided by the academy are very supportive, knowledgeable, and talented. They have been in this industry for many years. I admire them so much they don’t just teach you they will prepare you for the road ahead. But to anyone who thinks it is easy, it is not. You need to be punctual and respect the teachers and what they are teaching you. The course is amazing, but not for people who do not want to work hard, listen, and learn. If you do not like rude people, then a career in make-up is not for you. You need to be strong and patient. Fashion and make-up roles are very demanding, long hours, lots of travelling and can be very tiring. So many people depend on you and how you perform in this school will show you if you have what it takes. Not everyone can pass. But I love it! To Valentino that has been there for all of us since day one, I will never forget you. You and the team have been amazing. So, thank you for everything you have done for me. You are very smart, talented, helpful, and so patient with us (well most of us!). Sarah, I can’t imagine AOFM without you. You keep the whole operation going. You always want the best for us, but God forbid if we are late!😅 Jana, you have been brilliant, funny, and amazing. I have really enjoyed my time at the course and would highly recommend it to everyone.

The Academy of Freelance Makeup (AOFM) is an international makeup school. I was lucky enough to attend the London Campus in 2010. Being the youngest in the class and also starting a new career can be extremely daunting, to say the least. My fears were put aside as I began the “Total Pro” Intensive 4-week course. The owners and staff working in the Academy are second to none and always on hand to rectify any situation. My class had pupils who came from all over the world, wanting to learn from the best of the best. The thing I most loved about AOFM was the teachers you got to learn from. Almost every day there was a new tutor, from a different country telling you stories about their career in the fashion and beauty industry, and teaching you their tips and tricks of the trade. Upon graduating from AOFM I immediately felt the benefits from their great aftercare package and helpful team; that even 10 years later continues to this day! Through this, I have been allowed to work on high-profile shows backstage in Milan, Paris, New York, Tokyo and London multiple times. I have assisted amazing Makeup Artists and have worked in fashion, film and television internationally. As a freelance makeup artist over the past ten years, I have worked for MAC Cosmetics, International films, Fashion brands working on campaigns, look books and E-commerce, private clients and editorials for magazines. The highlight of my time with AOFM will always be working on the Viktor&Rolf Show in Paris, (Please see my attached images.) I left AOFM with the make-up and business skills that have allowed me to be as successful as I could be and given me the confidence and support to go as far as I wanted to. I would highly recommend investing in your talent and training with AOFM.

I completed my 6 weeks artistic course from AoFM Dubai. Its been an awesome experience. I enjoyed every bit of it and learned a lot. Three things, I felt makes this academy way ahead of others are 1. Instructors 2. Infrastructure 3. Management Instructors - They are current artists with diverse backgrounds, makeup styles and loads of experience. They have different instructors for different topics, who share just not their expertise but also lot of useful tips, their makeup kits and stories which inspire and educate at the same time. Special shout out to few of my favorites: Emily Clayton - her energy and creativity is so contagious, that we would end up missing her the days she was not teaching Shona Kennedy - her makeup is so precise and on point. She would also make sure that we re do our work till we get it right. Katie Cousins - she answered all our queries so patiently and also shared lot of useful tips Betty Bee - loved her hair class, it was fun, entertaining and lot of learning. Infrastructure - the academy is beautiful and well maintained, lot of bright light n lot of space to work around. The products room is a little piece of heaven for all makeup lovers. They have all luxury brands from around the world. Students are free to use any products. It really helped me to try all brands and see what works for me before investing in my kit. Management - From the time you call to enquire till you graduate, they are very responsive and helpful. Sara, the manager was our go to person for literally everything and she made sure that the students are taken care of. Last but the best, Jana, lead of the academy is one task master who is always very particular about everything from hygiene, organization and professionalism. It was a little overwhelming at times, but once I started working, I realised how valuable those qualities are as a MUA. One of the USPs of this academy is their after care and master classes. I was able to attend few master classes both online and at academy, they have been really good. They are very responsive to any queries that I have even after graduating. They have their doors open to all graduates to retake the classes, if we wish to. I cannot be grateful enough for being able to start my MUA journey at AoFM and wish to continue my association with one of the best academies in the world. I would highly recommend this place to all budding makeup artists. Life after AofM - Its been around 18 months that U have graduated. Since then I have worked on various fashion shows - Newyork Fashion week, London Fashion week, Emirates fashion week, Middle east fashion week,Blenders pride fashion nights etc. I have also been working on movies doing special effects makeup. I also got the opportunity to assist leading makeup artist India and also around the world.

I have always been passionate about makeup as a hobby and wanted to pursue makeup as a profession. There is nothing better than combining passion and fun at work. Makes work all the more interesting!

I did the ‘Complete Artistic Pro Specialist in Hair styling and makeup artistry’. The course is all encompassing and at times it does feel like a lot to manage, however, once you are done, you feel empowered to start working.

If I had to review AOFM as a place to learn professional makeup, I could wax lyrical about the learning process, their program/modules, instructors, management, et al but my biggest takeaway from the experience is the after program opportunities like master classes, fashion show backstage, assistantship. There are ample avenues vis a vis events that are internationally renowned which AOFM partners with. These various opportunities have helped me stay current with new products, skills and techniques. AOFM has provided me with exposure to be able to work on different projects like e-commerce campaign/commercial shoots, bridal, private clients, et al. I am fortunate to be engaged as a full time freelance HMUA working on various projects in UAE and internationally. Thanks to all my mentors and instructors at AOFM, I can manage any work with confidence. I am proud to be an AOFM alumnus who can always look for advise and technical direction any time from the AOFM management & instructors.

After several years of research I decided to follow "The Complete Artistic Pro Specialist in Hair Styling and Makeup Artistry" offered by AOFM in Dubai and I can say that I do not regret it at all. I strongly believe that the academy offers the best course of makeup. Everything was superlative. The course was very intensive, but I learned a lot, starting from the basics of makeup and hair styling to special effects and airbrush makeup. I really liked that they have different teachers from whom I learned different techniques in the art of makeup and that they have products from different top brands (Mac, Nars, Makeup Forever, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Huda Beauty, etc.). The two photo shoots during the course were a big PRO because I had the opportunity to add to my portfolio professional photos. The best part is that after finishing the course AOFM gave me the opportunity to be part of the backstage team at the best fashion shows around the world and at the best masterclasses offered by the best makeup artists in Dubai . Thank you AOFM for welcoming me into your big family and fulfilling my wish to become a makeup artist

I graduated from AOFM recently and I want to share my experience throughout the course. I finished the 6 weeks Pro artistic course in Dubai. The teachers throughout all the course were amazing, each one of them showed us their own technique and way of doing makeup. I loved so much how the course taught us different skills. The photoshoot day with professional models, which they organise is such an amazing and unforgettable experience, the feeling cannot be described. I am not going to lie and say it was easy, actually this is a very intensive course with assignments and exams (as it should be). They are very precise with them and strict with time, but nevertheless I think this is very important as they prepare us for this industry. However, once you graduate, the opportunities don’t stop there, they offer so many masterclasses with known brands and makeup artists. Also, once you are accepted into their AOFM Pro Team, you will get to work backstage on so many shows. So many artists work for years to get to this point in their careers, but despite that they offer these opportunities to their students. My advice is that you listen, get those assignments done, study for the exams, get the best out of the course, because in the end you will realise how it was worth it. My honest opinion is that if you are wondering whether to study in this academy or not, I advise you to go for it and you will not be disappointed. If you really want to work as a makeup artist and want to get into this industry, this academy is a huge jump start in your career. Big thanks to Jana- the founder who really gives this academy his all, Valentino- our lead teacher (such an amazing person and educator), Jade and Emily- sweethearts, who are always patient and helping you out, Jojo- such a creative artist, from which you can learn a lot and last but not least our lovely Sara- she is one of the most caring, patient and helpful people there. Thank you for everything and this unforgettable experience. ❤️

I love wearing makeup and everything about it, but not so good at application, specially on someone other than myself. When I reached to a decision to embrace my passion for makeup artistry, I needed the best school that can transform my passion into a professional talent. After months of researching for the best makeup school in Dubai, I decided to study with AOFM, I have to say I was proud of my decision! I attended the "The Complete Artistic Pro Specialist in Hair Styling and Makeup Artistry", an intense six-week program, in March 2021. The course covered almost everything. I was introduced to the evolution of makeup artistry and hair styling and progressed into the contemporary advanced techniques and methods. The course is conducted by reputed teachers who are internationally recognized and are actively working professional makeup artists in Dubai. (our teachers: Hair course teachers: Betty: IG- bettybeehair and Danihairstylist, for makeup: Emily, IG- Vanityvenom, Shona: IG- Shonakennedymakeup, Jojo: IG- jojo_dantespadua, JhaJha: IG- jhajhamakeupartist, Valentino from Inglot etc). Individual attention was given for each student’s growth in the classroom, with continuous feedback and support to ensure expected level of proficiency in each stage. We have learned in depth among other things about the industry, variety of application techniques, and on how to build one’s kit. Every course is followed by practice, and whatever is learned in theory will be applied in the classroom with high quality skin care products, such as, Dermalogica, and makeup products including but not limited to, charlotte Tilbury, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Dior, Makeup Forever, Huda beauty, Nars, Inglot, Kryolan, Mehron etc. However, students are required to carry their own weight to research, complete assignments on time and to put the time and work-in to successfully complete the course. At the end of the course, I acquired the skills, discipline, and the etiquette on how to carry myself as a professional freelance makeup artist. One of the distinctive advantages to go to AOFM is that graduates are always welcome for free masterclasses with distinguished brands and makeup artists and refresher courses if they would like to refresh their knowledge and practice. And, after completion of the course, depending on availability, students are given the opportunity to assist the AOFM pro makeup artist in fashion shows. Since i graduated, I was lucky enough to be part of the AOFM backstage pro team for different events in Dubai. I find the experience at the fashion show exciting and educationally fascinating. Jana puts great effort and energy to ensure the school has the best to offer and to maintain AOFM as one of the top makeup academies in the world. Sarah, the office admin, is always keen to help, guide and support students both during and after course completion. I am profoundly grateful for their support and hard work. You join as a student, and you leave as a pro MUA and AOFM family. ♥️

I joined aofm in 2019. This school was a whole new experience for me. Being a self-taught artist i was just good. I wanted to learn more about makeup and meet people and their makeup journey. The trainers are amazing, they are total gem. If you think aofm is a place to have fun and sit around.no, it is not. They won’t let you take break except for lunch. Aofm dedicates itself for its students. It is a place of experience and exploration. Just apply in aofm blindfolded. You will learn more than you imagine. Its a sea. I can assure you after aofm you will be a new person who will love experiment more and more than you used to before. Its a whole new level of experience.

I joined full artistry course for 6 weeks on Sept’20 with AOFM Dubai. I wanted best of everything so was super confused which academy to join. I almost booked one of the school in London but still had two minds about it as its a huge investment and no one had time to explain and clear my confusion.Then i saw AOFM and its reviews, first i thought its too good to be true than i went to academy to check myself and the first person i met was the heartbeat of academy ‘Jana’, he is such a beautiful person and so down to earth, he explained me everything and i was quite satisfied but still had lot of questions, however whenever i called, he explained everything patiently. During the course.. well let me be honest , its a very intensive course and they are very particular about homeworks and assignments and thats what i like them about the most because they want the best to come out of you. It was the best time ever and went off so quickly and we all were so emotional on the last day. All the Makeup Artist was so amazing and talented, Especially ‘Emily’ is one of my favourite and i have learnt a lot from her. I finished my course in oct’20 and Jana, Emily and all the other Trainers are just one call away. Jana , Emily still guides me whenever i have any doubts or need a suggestion and i feel thats what matter the most. Anybody can teach you how to apply makeup but its the aftercare things which stands them out from all other Academies. My most memorable Day was the Photoshoot Day, they capture my picture with the model for my future reference as MUA. I did there Masterclasses before even joining the course, they were so nice to invite me for the same. I thank everyone especially Jana & Emily for being my mentor. Ruchika Batra

I have finished the Foundation to Advanced module at AOFM in October and i can honestly say it was an amazing experience. The course was 2 weeks of intense practice on different nationalities with high-end products like Charlotte Tilbury, Huda Beauty, Nars. We had multiple trainers Denny, Emily, Shona were great and they taught us lots of amazing techniques. Lots of homework and research. The best part of attending AOFM is the incredible aftercare program, Jana the Director of Education was very helpful in this matter, after i finished the course i went back for a few days when they started with a new batch for more practice and guidance. They also offer lots of masterclasses and MUA discounts for many makeup brands. I can truly recommend this as the best makeup academy.

My experience with AOFM was,simply, a dream come true, and if I have to do it all over again, I definitely would! I followed the complete artistic pro specialist in hairstyling and makeup artistry which lasted 6 weeks, and graduated 2 weeks ago. My crush with AOFM started when I decided to subscribe and paid a visit to the academy. I was very warmly welcomed by Sarah the nicest assistant ever, and Jana the head of education. I spent almost 1and a half hour just talking to him, he was very hospitable and attentive to all of my questions. I couldn't believe how professional and he was! Few minutes after I chatted with him, I knew I was in the right place, and my dream of becoming a professional HMUA will start from that place. And I wasn't wrong about it. I won't talk too much about the makeup we used, nor the discounts we had the chance to enjoy for the rest our lives, not even about the free master classes...because everything mentioned on their website is 1000% true. What you see is what you get!! I want to talk about the course syllabus and the academic staff instead. The course is extremely rich and varied, we had it all, starting from health and safety in the work place, to the anatomy and physiology, hair styling, makeup application techniques, airbrush makeup, sfx , tv and movie makeup, how to create a character and last but not least how to do a proper research paper and write it in your own words (not a copy paste) 😉 (u will get me when u reach that level of the course future students). They are soooo professional, that they went looking for plagiarism in our homework 😁😁... It s an endless amount of knowledge and information, that I have never thought I would be having elsewhere, at least not in a makeup school. The academy's teaching staff, are the cherry on the cake, they re more than 9 different teachers, professional HMUA's ,very professional in their way of teaching, pedagogic, dedicated, experienced, who shared with us all the possible and imaginable secrets of their careers, tips and advice, from A to Z. They were guiding us every step of the way, leaving nothing to surprise. Emily is everyone s favorite In all batches, she s taught us a lllloottt, she s the beast in the field, no one can beat her, plus she s extremely helpful, kind and caring, taking time to answer any question, be it at school or via Instagram. she s there for us, helping,guiding, even sending us good makeup deals and discounts, to build up our kits. Emily, Betty, Denny, Shona, jajah, are my ultimate favorites, and the list goes on. They even offered my colleagues the chance to assist them at work, during the course and after, a priceless opportunity for a beginning MUA. Sarah the nicest assistant ever, she s like our little sister,very professional, hard working, dedicated with great work ethics, the academy wouldn't be without her too, she a major part of the team, taking care of everyone s needs, sending us emails, replying to our requests..before, during and after the course. And I kept the best for the last,Jana, he is the closest to my heart, I cannot imagine AOFM without him. He can be very tough and severe, BUT extremely cool and fun with an amazing sense of humor and a huge heart. Since day 1 until today, he s been there for each one of us, answering our questions via email, IG, what's up or over the phone, he s been helping us every step of the way. I knew about the aftercare service the academy is offering to its graduates, but what Jana is doing to us, has surpassed my expectations!!! Wish I could write more about these amazing people that I'm blessed to having met, but I need people to read and don't get bored.Even if I was quite long, I wanted to give my honest opinion so that my fellow future MUAs can take advantage from. Attached are my professional photoshoots that I did for my portfolio, with a professional model, and a the best photographer someone could ever dream of working with. Wish you all the best dear AOFM team, you are the beast and the best. Keep rising Love Instagram : sahardridi_mua_dxb

I studied at Aofm less than an year ago. I had no knowledge about makeup (I was a tota beginner) and I found that the full course gave me not only the skills to break in this industry, but also the confidence that I need to build to be able to do it. At the end of the course I had to do a masterclass which is a test which can possibly allow you to work for the official fashion week, and here's the news.. Not only the London one! Aofm will provide you the Milan, Paris and also NY one's! Isn't it crazy? I had to learn and afterwards work with simply the best in the industry. I can name some of them, Michelle Webb, Yin Lee, Valentina Creti.. With Aofm I had also the chance to collaborate with couple of magazines that published my work! I am beyond grateful to the academy and to the amazing staff working in it. Don't consider anything else if you simply wanna work with the best and for the best. Good luck!

My experience at AOFM London has been extremely amazing, attended Total Pro specialist course in June 2016. I had the privilege to studying in the best academy in the world, with the best makeup artist and hair stylists. I had this big dream to became a makeup artist and AOFM game me "wings to fly" I loved every second in the academy, the classes and all the tutors incredible supportive and also my wonderful colleagues which we made friendship for life . Fantastic experience. I felt blessed to had the opportunity to use in classes all the luxuary makeup product, attended to channel masterclass which I found incredible. It's fantastic how AOFM cares to give support to their students. Since I left AOFM currently had the privilege to work for Estée Lauder and currently working for Christian Dior. Looking forward to assist backstage to this wonderful academy. Massive Thank you to all AOFM team kindest regards Sabier SOUSA from Venezuela/ Madeira Island

It was very intense, and there was so many things to learn in a short amount of time. But all in all, the education, care and support that I received from the teachers and the AOFM staff (especially recepcionist Barbara) was amazing and lived up to my expectations. The course has given me more confidence as a makeup artist as well as knowledge, tips and skills.
