Make-Up Artist

Lu Ross Academy has developed two short training programs for students who are interested in learning the art of Make-up. These courses can be taken alone or combined to create a comprehensive program. Lu Ross has partnered with MAC Cosmetics and MAC Platform Artists give a presentation of their latest trends during each Beauty Makeup Artistry course.
