Studying at AACM had been a dream of mine for a few years and I am so insanely grateful that it was well worth moving over from Western Australia for.
The trainers are highly skilled at what they do and it is clear they have a passion for all things makeup, whether that is beauty, special effects or editorial. They want to see each student succeed and will always be willing to provide extra help where needed.
The different focuses for each term make studying so entertaining as you are always learning new skills and because each day is very hands-on, there is never a dull moment.
Now that I have graduated, I never thought my ‘Term 1 self’ would get so many incredible work opportunities; from student films, to music videos to feature films. I am now working full-time as a Creature FX Artist, with a production company, with many exciting projects coming up.
Studying at AACM is the best place to get your foot in the door and if you are truly dedicated and interested in the world of makeup you will thrive in this industry.
