Professional Training from Industry-Leading Experts Across Europe

Finding truly advanced, hands-on education in hair and makeup is challenging — it’s the experience that shaped The Makeup Council. We bring active industry professionals to Berlin, offering workshops where you learn directly from artists working on Oscar-winning films, international editorials, and major European productions. You gain practical insights, tips, and techniques, including guidance on new products and methods, all immediately applicable to your projects.

How We Work

We keep our workshops deliberately small — a maximum of 10 participants — so each artist receives personal guidance. Beyond technical skills, every workshop reflects the realities of today’s professional environment, helping participants learn effectively and apply new techniques with confidence.

A core focus of The Makeup Council is to actively bring textured hair and deep skin tone techniques into every workshop. These skills are often overlooked in theater, makeup schools, and hair curricula. Our goal is to set a new standard for the industry, equipping professional artists to work confidently with all hair textures and skin tones, shaping the future of inclusive makeup education.

The Standard

These workshops attract the most dedicated artists from Germany and across Europe — professionals committed to growing their skills and working at the highest level. Each course is carefully designed to deliver focused, hands-on learning, ensuring every participant leaves more confident, capable, and ready to apply their skills in real-world projects.

2026 & Beyond

From 2026, we will host one international specialist in Berlin each year, bringing rare, advanced techniques from around the world. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the artists defining global standards in makeup and hairstyling.

 

 

 

”I really enjoyed being a model in January – Roberto was an incredible artist and I cannot believe how life-like the beards he made for me were, and just how much it changed my appearance. It’s really impressive being in the presence of a true master craftsman at work!“

”I’m very happy to have done this workshop. It was so interesting to discover some new techniques and practice them right away. I was sure a workshop with Roberto should be perfect and it was. It was also nice to be a small group.“

”The SFX workshop with Stuart Bray was a lot of fun and very informative. We received a great deal of knowledge and were then able to immediately put what we learned into practice on models. It was definitely worth it, and the organization of the course by Irina was fantastic!!“
