Professional Levels:  There are 8 progressive training levels at INDIGO STUDIOS.  They begin with Professional Beauty Makeup and progress to Professional Fashion Makeup, Professional Photography through Professional Video Makeup – all the way to Professional Opera and Cinema Makeup Design.  The curriculum is strictly of a visual design structure, meaning, it is a not a cosmetics and care study.  It teaches corrective and design principles of pigments and basis, and shapes and forms of makeup, in a photographic way.

 

Course System: Lesson/ Demonstration 1x per week (8 weeks total).

PhotoShoot of successfully prepared projects: by scheduling (4 mandatory photo shoots - other per invitation by the Studio). 

​

Each Professional Course at any level consists of 8 demonstrations and 4 photoshoots. 

 

Final Exam: At the end of 8 weeks/cycles the artist will create a Photo Shoot project without preparation and feedback.  It will be photographed, and evaluated by a jury.  The results will be delivered with a Certificate of Attendance if the artist satisfies the requirements.

 

Course Duration: The professional courses are on self-schedule basis (with the exception of the 2 Theoretical lessons, where we will look for the convenient dates).

If taken consecutively, the course can be completed in 2-month period.  However, it is a visual learning process, and a recommended speed is about 3 months (allowing for some breaks and repetitions). If the course is not complete after a 4 month period, it is up to the INDIGO STUDIOS' instructor on how to schedule any further lessons and if the final examination is allowed.

The Course is non-refundable.

 

Material:  Professional Students need to use their own professional grade material at the Studio.  Professional Kits are available for the students, only after enrollment at 40% discount of the public price.  There are 3 sizes of Professional Kits to suits every budget.

 

Practical Experience & Networking:  As a working Studio, we try to promote our professionals within Luxembourg and the Grand Region.  There are many projects which the Studio is a part of, from the many Fashion Shows to the Beauty Pageants and Magazine Shoots.  The artists will be invited to participate as a part of their course to gain experience and meet and network.  These projects are not obligatory, but rather created to promote and develop a working environment around this specific art form.

 

Price: The price of Professional Courses is €1660,00 + 17% VAT. The Course is non-refundable (exception: inside a 2 week period, and none of the lessons were attended, the course can be reimbursed for store credit).
