• If I’m an experienced makeup artist, must I take BC Prep?
  • Yes. All of the classes in Part 2 refer back to Bootcamp Part 1 (Bootcamp Prep). Corrective makeup is the most used form of makeup. It is not the most fun, but it is where all of my theory starts.
• Do you issue licenses / certificates?
  • We issue Certificate of Completion. This is not a license. To be licensed in NY State, you must either take Cosmetology (1000 hours) or Esthetics (600 hours) There is very little makeup training in either of these courses, but in NY State, you are supposed to have one of these licenses to apply makeup for money.
• Do you teach Cosmetology?
  • Sorry, no we don’t.
• What do I need to bring to class?
  • Cleanser, moisturizer, a washcloth and your brushes.
• Must I take all of the classes in BC II?
  • No, you may take classes individually!
• I want to be a makeup artist, but I’ve no skills. What classes do you have to help get me started?
  • Bootcamp Part 1.
• Do you offer financial aid?
  • No, our workshops are not long enough.
• What methods of payment do you accept?
  • Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex and cash. Sorry, no checks.
• I want to take bridal Bootcamp. Do I need to take Bootcamp Prep first?
  • If you have not done any makeup yet, we suggest Bootcamp Prep to begin with.
• Can I purchase professional makeup cases, brushes and cosmetics at a discount?
  • Yes
• I’ve taken BC Prep, but I don’t have makeup or a kit. Can you help?
  • We sell all of the supplies used in class. We don’t believe in making you purchase a "Required Makeup Kit" from us.
• Will your certificate help me get a job at a cosmetic counter?
  • Sometimes, yes. Many times counters like to see some retail experience. If you have none, then you might consider Interning at The Makeup Shop.
• You are a school, right?
  • No, we teach informal workshops.
