We've been working with AR Make Up School students and alumni on our productions for a number of years now. From day one, I've been impressed by both their technical skills and ability to develop creative ideas. Their MUAs also benefit from being taught by experienced industry professionals, which is apparent through the soft skills and etiquette that they display on set; even if they're only there for the first time.

I studied the full time media course and cannot recommend it enough. I have learnt so much and had the most incredible time training here with Suzie and her team.
Suzie is just the best and really goes above and beyond to ensure you have all the training and knowledge to work in the industry.
You are fully supported during and even after your training has finished.
I wish I didn't have to leave. Thank you everything Suzie.

Best makeup school if you want to get all the skills you need to become a professional makeup artist. I have learnt so much, met so many great people and I loved my time there. I can't thank Suzie enough for all the support she has given me even after I've finished the course.

I’m currently training on the part time media make-up course and I can’t put into words how much I love it!!💗 The course is extremely in depth, learning various aspects of media make up for tv, film and theatre. Suzie teaches in a fun yet very informative way and is so patient! I’ve already met so many lovely people who all share the same love for make-up as I do 😍 Signing up to learn make-up in a professional way at Aqua Rosa was the best thing I’ve ever done, I would 100% recommend! Super excited to see what happens next, thank-you Aqua Rosa you’re the best ❤️

I am currently studying on the part time Media makeup course at Aqua Rosa. This is now my second course with this amazing school, I loved my first course so much I decided to do go on and do the Media course.
I cannot describe how good the courses are, they are so in depth and informative within all areas of the makeup whether that be editorial, fashion, media or special effects.
Suzie, the course tutor is brilliant, she is really helpful, knowledgeable about the industry and really helps guide you into launching your makeup career which ever area you want to go in to.
