Makeup courses in Montreal: what you will learn

Our professional makeup course in Montreal trains makeup artists to work on every skin tone, with a specialty that is still rare in Quebec: makeup for Black and mixed skin. You learn color correction and foundation matching, contouring, smoky eyes, evening makeup and bridal makeup.

Take the course over 1 day ($1,000) or 4 days ($2,000), plus taxes. Over 4 days you complete more than 20 full makeup looks on real models. All materials are provided on site during the training (eyeshadow palette, brushes, foundations, concealers, lip colors), a learning kit is available as an option, and you receive a certificate issued by BF Beauty Training Academy.

Weekday, evening and weekend groups are available at our school at 350 Louvain Street West, near Crémazie and Henri-Bourassa metro stations. Read about the top beauty careers in Montreal, or explore our combo certificates pairing makeup with wig installation, nail tech or lash extensions.
