Throughout the week, campers experiment with a wide variety of materials—papers, fabrics, textures, found objects, and more—to design artwork that is completely their own.

Whether they’re crafting abstract designs or storytelling through images, participants discover how versatile and expressive this art form can be. It’s a vibrant, hands‑on experience that sparks creativity and celebrates artistic freedom.

Step into the world of creativity, color, and transformation in this four‑day Makeup Artistry Summer Camp. Designed for beginners who love beauty, theater, or special effects, this camp takes students on a hands‑on journey through the fundamentals of professional makeup all the way to character and SFX design. Each day builds new skills, confidence, and artistry as campers explore the techniques used by real makeup professionals.

Campers start with the essentials—learning how makeup evolved over time and how modern artists create flawless looks. They’ll practice proper skin prep for long‑lasting wear, identify and use professional tools, follow industry‑standard sanitation practices, and learn how to match foundation and concealer like a pro.

Next, campers dive into the art of sculpting and enhancing facial features. They’ll analyze face and eye shapes, practice contouring and highlighting placement, and explore color theory to understand how hues work together. From natural daytime looks to bold, dramatic styles, students will experiment with techniques that elevate any makeup design.

The third day unlocks the world of imagination. Campers explore makeup for theater, film, and live events, studying styles from different eras and genres. They’ll design Halloween and fantasy characters, experiment with face painting, and learn how to exaggerate features to bring characters to life on stage or screen.

The final day introduces campers to the exciting world of SFX makeup. Using beginner‑friendly materials, they’ll create realistic cuts, bruises, wounds, and basic prosthetic effects. Campers also learn proper removal techniques and how to care for their skin after wearing special effects makeup.
