The most rewarding service I offer is teaching aspiring and accomplished make up artists, how to do airbrush make up, temporary tattoos, tanning, custom color matching, and body make up and cover up.
I have so many students from the Atlanta area, and I am always asked why I teach something that would create competition for myself, especially when I teach my students how to build a very successful web site, like my own, which they should be able to use as their only source of advertising. My only response, is that, one, there is so much work to go around for everybody, and I even have to turn down work because I am so busy some times, and, two, because, unless my students are successful, chances are that I didn't do a good enough job. So, in fact, I even try to get my students work, either, on jobs I can not do, or for which I need an assistant, or in some of the salons and day spas, or TV studios, where I taught the staff the art of airbrush make up, airbrush tanning, body make up and tattoo cover up.
I offer one on one, very hands on classes in airbrush and conventional make up, depending on what you want to learn. My initial airbrush class includes, a full face, airbrush make up application, including, foundation, high lighter, blush and eye make up application. The initial class also includes, instructions on owning, cleaning and operating your equipment, trouble shooting, and designing and hosting a very successful web site. Subsequent classes, include, wedding and bridal make up, conventional make up, airbrush tanning, paint on, airbrush and crystal body art, and temporary tattoos, eyelash extensions, bald caps and bruises, and custom color matching, body make up and cover up of skin conditions, acne, acne scarring, spider veins, stretch marks, tattoos, or just reducing the appearance of cellulite and/or, giving the body the appearance of beautiful, flawless skin. *(see page on Body Makeup and Cover up) I also will go through your make up kit with you or go through a list of make up and supplies you will need for a professional make up kit.
I have had dozens of students who are either accomplished or aspiring, freelance make up artists, or who are already working in salons and day spas, cruise ships, or in television studios. They come from Atlanta, and from all over the United States for classes.
I have had very talented students who took a few classes less then a year ago, and assisted me on my jobs when ever possible , who are now making a living at it, (although, it does require a lot of hard work and perseverance). (References are available)
Although air brush make up is not new to me, ( I have been doing it and teaching it, since 1992, because my family owns a business that makes and sells airbrush equipment, and 3 lines of our own, exclusive air brush make up, which is second to none). It is still very new in the beauty, wedding, and entertainment industries. Although it is growing, it is still a novelty and you will still be one of the few make up artists that offer air brush make up to their clients. Also, when people ask for airbrush make up, they are typically referring to the foundation being airbrushed only. However, I will be teaching you how to do a full face, air brush make up application, including applying all the make up by airbrush, except for eye liner and lip liner and lip stick. This will make you even more in demand, and your prices will be higher, for a full face, airbrush make up application.
I take teaching and my students, very seriously and have developed close, ongoing friendships and relationships, with most of them. I am always available to help them trouble shoot, answer any questions and help them get work, when ever possible. My students are also welcome to come and observe or assist me on most of my jobs, one student at a time.
I also sell the best airbrush make up and equipment, (second to none), from my family owned, New York based business, at a 10% discount to all my students. All my students who buy make up and equipment, get a 20% discount from the price of the initial class. (Prices vary depending on which and how many classes you take).
