The Central School of Make-up Avaliações 

My daughter and I had a lovely experience. We picked up many hints and tips of which we are now applying. Thank you Becky and Laura for this.

I had recently trained at the school , from the very beginning, I felt so welcomed, supported and encouraged. I’ve learnt so much, not only about makeup and different techniques, but also about the business side of becoming a makeup artist, which has given me so much more confidence in starting my own journey.

Every lesson was enjoyable, informative and hands-on, and I always felt comfortable asking questions and trying new things. The guidance, patience and encouragement from the tutors really made such a difference, and I’m so grateful for all the knowledge and skills I’m taking away with me.
Highly recommended 🫶🏻

I honestly can’t fault anything about these courses! I will definitely be going back to do a different course as they were so kind, patient and I learnt so much! As someone with a hidden disability (Epilepsy & Anxiety) they were so understanding and calm with me and I honestly appreciated it so much! Can’t wait to go and do one of the other courses!

I had a wonderful experience and loved my time at CSU from start to finish. I would recommend to anyone and will be returning for more training.

Laura and becky instructed me throughout my 5 day intensive course and I was very happy with my outcome. coming in to makeup school I had never practiced makeup on anyone before and coming out I feel as though I can do it on anyone now thanks to the wonderful teachers!

My time at Central School of Makeup has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I started, it was clear that this is a professional, inspiring, and highly supportive environment where students are genuinely encouraged to grow and succeed.

Although I had some previous experience in makeup, the level of training, knowledge, and confidence I have gained here has far exceeded my expectations. The course is incredibly well structured, combining creativity with real industry standards, and has helped me develop both my technical skills and professional mindset.

The tutors are outstanding, patient, approachable, and exceptionally knowledgeable, with a wealth of industry experience that they generously share. They go above and beyond to support every student individually, making sure everyone feels encouraged, challenged, and capable of reaching their full potential. Their passion for teaching is evident in every lesson.

What has impressed me most is how much growth is possible in such a short space of time. In just a few weeks, I have seen a huge improvement in my artistry, confidence, speed, and understanding of the industry. I now feel far more prepared to step into the professional world of makeup artistry with confidence and ambition.

Choosing to enrol at Central School of Makeup was one of the best decisions I have made for my career. I am incredibly grateful to the entire team for their guidance, encouragement, and dedication. While I am sad that this chapter is ending, I am leaving feeling inspired, empowered, and excited for everything ahead. I would highly recommend this school to anyone serious about building a successful career in makeup.

I went to the CSMU for a private colour analysis by Laura, together with my sister. The experience was, from start to finish, exceptional.
Laura was friendly, personable and professional, and seemed genuinely invested and interested to "crack the code" of colours. We were surprised that she did not appear rushed at any point, at many stages lingering over the analysis to make sure she had got things just right. She even exceeded our original alloted time at no extra cost.
Days later she sent us both in depth personalised emails with our colour analyses which had clearly taken a great deal of time and effort.
Thank you Laura!

I first attended the school back in 2022 with very little confidence within my artistry skills and lack of knowledge with what to do once I completed my course. My time at the school I met life long friends, and also gained life long confidence within my artistry skills also. I went on to then attend a special effects course where I absolutely excelled and now with thanks to the school and teachers , I have gained multiple qualifications, grew my make up social media and also landed a job in selfridges. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve these goals without the school .

I completed a makeup course at Central School of Makeup Birmingham and received an international certificate.

While the enrollment process was smooth, my experience after joining did not fully meet my expectations. I found that post-course support was limited, especially when I asked for guidance regarding work opportunities and product recommendations.

During training, I also felt that I did not receive the same level of exposure as some other students, as my work was not featured on the school’s social media. Additionally, I would have appreciated more opportunities to practice on models during the course.

Overall, I think the course could be improved by offering more consistent support, equal opportunities for all students, and continued guidance after completion.

My feedback is based on this overall experience, and I hope you can understand how it felt from my side.
My review was not based on one particular incident or the modelling message. It reflects my overall experience during and after the course. While I did share positive feedback initially, over time I felt that I did not receive enough support, guidance, or opportunities compared to my expectations.

For example, I often asked about work opportunities and product guidance but did not receive much response. I also felt that I didn’t get equal chances during training, including model practice and having my work reviewed or shared.

I respect that building professional relationships is important, and that is exactly why I expected more consistent communication and support throughout and after the course.
Regarding opportunities never received any opportunity. Whatever you are posting in a group, never received any response from client, so we don't know it is geniune opportunity or not..

You never shared my work on social media while you were uploading pictures and videos of others work. So I can see what kind of support you have given me. It's demotivating for any student. If I will be teaching students I ll never do with anyone . Teacher has to give equal opportunity to every student.

Teacher can't demotivate student by doing this kind of behaviour.
Till now I didn't receive any picture of my work. I don't have any videos of my work. Removing any review or flagging any review ll not change the reality of school. You can remove multiple times I can post multiple times. Good luck laura

Laura running the Special Effects course was completely brilliant!! Really supportive, non-judgmental space to learn new exciting skills. Would very much recommend :)

I loved my experience on this course. The teachers were amazing, so knowledgeable and genuinely supportive. It was incredibly informative, and even though it was a bit out of my way, I chose this school because of its reputation — and it was absolutely worth it.

Fantastic course would recommend to anyone !!!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the central school of makeup. I had some experience in makeup but nothing compared to the knowledge I have now. The teachers are so so helpful and will accommodate any needs you may have and are really knowledgable with the mounting experience they have. I am so glad I made the jump to do this course it has been so beneficial in my journey to becoming a makeup artist and the growth that you can make in just a few weeks of attending is incredible. I could not thank the staff enough for being a part of my journey and I feel sad it is coming to end but I also feel really prepared for what’s next all because of the teaching I have experienced.

I have had such a great experience at The Central School of Makeup the tutors Laura and Becky are passionate and have been so supportive. The foundation course covers everything from basic hygiene, product knowledge, how to set up your own bridal MUA business as well as advanced techniques like glam and bridal makeup. The hands-on training and personalised feedback ensure every student leaves confident, creative, and career ready

Central School of Make-up Foundation Course is excellent. There is a great balance between Theory and Practice. Successful students are also awarded a certificate by the IMA (International Make-up Artist) Thank you Laura and Becky for your outstanding tuition and guidance.

I'm currently still studying at the central school of makeup and I'm nearly at the end of my makeup course. I came with no experience, confidence or knowledge about makeup but now I can honestly say I have learned so much. Absolutely loving the course and my main tutor has been Laura and learning from her has been incredible. She has shared her knowledge and wisdom with makeup to which I will forever remember and use. Becky has also taught me and she is another brilliant tutor with amazing knowledge and teaching skills.
This school of makeup is by far one of the best out there and I highly recommend it to anyone.
Im very keen on signing up to other courses which are offered as this one has been brilliant and perfect.
I can't thank you enough to the team at central school of makeup.
You are superstars

My daughter really enjoyed this course and gained a lot of new skills and techniques. Would recommend to others.

Small issue with certificate not arriving but this was due to an issue with address typo. This has been resolved and a new certificate issued to us.

Such a knowledgable team with so much wisdom from years of freelance work which is truly what any student wants; so much content within the course, would reccomend their knowledge and skills to anybody

I had a really lovely experience during my one-to-one make session with Laura.
My make-up experience was very limited, but I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable.
Laura was very knowledgeable and provided suggestions and tips throughout the session. I would recommend the one-to-one make session as a gift or a treat for yourself.

From the moment I started at this school, I knew I was in the right place. I originally joined to build my confidence in makeup, and the training I received completely exceeded my expectations. They take you step by step, from the absolute basics to advanced, professional techniques, making sure you feel confident at every stage. I completed both the basic and creative courses, and they truly transformed my skills.

What makes this school stand out is the ongoing support. Even after finishing my courses, they’ve continued to offer advice, encouragement, and opportunities. Thanks to the connections I made through them, I’ve had the chance to work with local brands, independent businesses, fashion shows, and modeling agencies—experiences I never imagined I’d have!

If you’re thinking about learning makeup, whether for yourself or as a professional, this is the place to do it. The team is welcoming, experienced, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for me!
