About Our Makeup School

The Makeup Technicians (TMT) is a specialised training college based in the Sydney CBD. We have been delivering skilled graduates to the makeup industry since 1989.

The Makeup Technicians is an International College with local and international students. Students learn in a face-to-face simulated work place environment, enhanced with compulsory industry work placement, provided by the college. All of our trainers have been working in the industry for many years, and with their industry knowledge and expertise we can honestly say they are of the highest caliber, in all aspects of makeup!

After graduating from our 12-month Diploma of Screen & Media in Specialist Makeup Services, students will hold an Australian Government Accredited Qualification. Students can also follow on with our Advanced Skills Set of Makeup, adding new units of competency to build their qualification’s portfolio. Graduates could also consider following on with a CUA60615 Advanced Diploma of Screen & Media or a relevant Bachelor of Arts Degree.

Year after year developing new talent with a life time of makeup techniques, skills and confidence. A positive industry standard attitude, being a regular practice throughout the course, is apparent in our emerging artists.

“The Makeup Technicians advantage is; we’re with you all the way! We offer a full industry work experience program, where you can make valuable contacts while training at TMT, It’s how you get started in this industry”

We understand the top 5 prerequisites an employer is looking for in a makeup graduate, because TMT has interviewed many industry experts to find out exactly what they are looking for. We have interviewed Makeup Brand Managers, Production Managers, Magazine Photographers, Creative Agency Representatives, Head of Fashion-Makeup Artists, Head of Runway-Makeup Artists, Head of Department SPFX Makeup Artists, (HOD) Film Makeup Artists, (HOD) Television Makeup Artists, (HOD) Theatre Makeup Artists to working Makeup Artists & Bridal Companies.

We nail these top 5 requirements in our “Working in the Industry” classes which run throughout our Diploma of Screen and Media Specialist Makeup Services Course. That’s why 80%of our students get work in the industry, in the industry of your choice! Everyone has a different agenda for the type of work they want to pursue and it takes time to build your expertise and working attitude.
