Makeup artistry is a growing field that demands creativity and skill. There are several schools that offer options to students who want to make this a career. - The Make-up Designory is a make-up artistry school that has a main campus in Los Angeles and a second branch in New York City.

Both focus on basic make-up application techniques, as well as specialized tools of the trade and how to create special effects. Techniques include the use of prosthetics and how to create a simulated injury.
