The Beauty and Makeup industry has come to stay!! I bet you can also attest to this. The ever-increasing number of makeup artists and makeup studios we have in Nigeria will also confirm this fact.
While some makeup artists are self-taught and some other persons have undergone professional training, their services will continually be needed. As long as the ‘owambes’ don’t stop.
The ever-increasing need for makeup artists has led to a non stop increase in the number of people who are willing to learn. The question now is, where are they learning from?!
This increase has led to the establishment of many mushroom makeup schools lacking in the basic technical know-how expected of a standard makeup school. Hence, to avoid enrolling in a substandard makeup school, it is expedient for one to consider the choices available before making a decision.
There are too many makeup schools in Nigeria which can make choosing a make-up school really difficult. Not to worry, in this post I have listed Top Makeup schools in Nigeria you can launch your make-up career with.
1. House of Tara Makeup School
Founded by Tara Fela-Durotoye in the year 2003, House Of Tara Makeup School is one of the leading makeup schools in Nigeria. House of Tara has over 14 makeup schools across the country, in cities such as Benin, Ibadan and Lagos. Location, therefore, is not a barrier.
With a mission of training the next generation of makeup artist, House of Tara Makeup School has a wide range of intensive training courses ranging from the basic beauty makeup course, the advanced beauty makeup course, professional makeup course, refresher makeup course to the theatre makeup course and personal makeup course.
The duration of the courses offered is really flexible and still, it does not water down the authenticity of what will be taught. Additionally, the classes are small in size which enables proper communication between tutors and students.
However, beyond its school of makeup, HOT also exists as a company that produces and sells makeup products. You should also try their makeup products.
