VFS Summer Intensives: Makeup for Film & Television

Mon, Jul 21, 2025 9:00 AM – Fri, Jul 25, 2025 4:00 PM PDT

This five-day Summer Intensive will introduce you to many facets of makeup. Through live demonstrations and hands-on work, you’ll cover basic highlight and shadow techniques as well as corrective and beauty principles also applicable to character makeup. You’ll try “out-of-kit” effects like cuts and scars, as well as facial hair applications. On the final day, you’ll design and apply a tattoo and come away with photographs of your finished creations from the courses.

Note: This five-day Summer Intensive requires students to use each other as models for the makeup applications during the week.
