Certified Makeup Artist Fundamentals (CMAF)
This course builds the foundation every makeup artist needs before stepping into paid work — skin prep and product knowledge, color theory and face design concepts, hygiene and sanitation standards, and the client communication and business skills that turn a booking into a repeat client. It focuses on theory, safety, and professional practice; hands-on technique still requires real practice on real faces, ideally with feedback from an experienced artist.
