Anelya Alim is not a vocational school… we are a fertile breeding ground where you can explore and enhance your passion and skill as a makeup artist whether you are a working artist or simply natural-born makeup geek!
Anelya Alim Makeup School is not a school of beauty. We are a Beauty Movement!
Our fun, hands-on tutorials are non-traditional; we’ve thrown out the books and usual lesson plans. In fact, our most important tools are not our brushes, it is ourselves. We believe that beauty starts within and radiates out. We believe you can only learn the dance steps so long before you need to get out and dance!
We believe that a great artist makes a great makeup artist; therefore we begin your training with the basic principles of fine art. We blend life coaching into all of our lesson plans so our students have a clear sense of self, direction and purpose. Our photo shoots are purposefully designed to simulate the challenges of real on set environments so you can experience a variety of real industry situations.
Our goal is to provide as true to life experience as possible. Anelya Alim Makeup School is a playground for creative minds, and inspired makeup artists.
