Career Opportunities
Make-up artistry is an exciting and rewarding
career. Every face you see on a stage or
film screen, in a magazine or commercial,
or on a billboard advertisement has been
transformed by a make-up artist. Whether
it’s for a special event or a special effect, the
artist enhances beauty, makes dreams reality,
and brings imagination to life.
FI LM A N D T E L E V IS IO N
In the fields of film and television the artist
works in tandem with a creative team, which
can include hair and wardrobe designers,
to bring the writer’s character to life, and
to realize the director’s artistic vision or
production design. Working in film and
television includes music videos, television
programs, movies of the week, commercials,
documentaries, major motion pictures,
independent films, and reality TV.
FAS HI O N R U N WAY, E D IT O R IA L A N D
C OM M E R C IA L W O R K
The fashion make-up artist is always part of a
creative team that can consist of designers,
stylists, art directors, photographers,
coordinators, and choreographers. The makeup artist is an integral member of this team,
who contributes to developing a creative
concept whether for a fashion runway event,
a magazine spread or an advertising shoot for
a corporate product or services promotion.

T H E AT R E A N D T H E P E R F O R M I N G A RTS
From a Shakespearean tragedy to a touring
musical, an opera production or a ballet
performance, the artist trained in stage
make-up is always in demand. Career
opportunities abound for the specialist in
period and stage performance make-up
for large-scale and independent theatrical
productions, musicals, variety shows and
more.
P R O S T H E T IC A N D S P E C IA L E F F E CTS
The demand for prosthetic and special
effects make-up artists has increased
dramatically in the last decade in all areas of
film, theatre, television and the performing
arts. Prosthetic make-up artists are also
hired for mould making to create museum
and specialty displays. Individuals skilled
in designing and building prosthetic
appliances will find work in film and
theatre, and with specialty manufacturing
companies.
CL I E N T-B A SE D M A KE -U P
Client-based make-up is one-on-one
work with an individual. Make-up artists
are called on to prepare clients for family
portraits, birthday parties, New Year’s
parties and countless other special events.
Employment opportunities can be found
within corporations in the area of personal
grooming and corporate events, and
of course, client-based make-up is the
foundation of the retail fashion industry.
However, a key area of client-based makeup is bridal and special events make-up.
The magnitude of this business cannot be
overestimated; many make-up artists work
in client-based services earning good wages
while they build their professional résumé.
C R E AT U R E D E S IG N
Creature design has become an integral
part of working on the technical side of
make-up in prosthetic and special effects
labs. Combining elements of creativity in
sculpting and prosthetics, mechanics and
construction, employment opportunities in
this field exist within film, theatre, museums
and specialty display companies.

In film, television, and the theatre,

knotting is a valuable skill for a makeup artist in film, television, theatre, or
prosthetics. Facial hair can change the look
of a character to reflect a different time
period, suggest a type of character, or add
realism to a prosthetic appliance or prop.
Individual hairs are delicately knotted onto
netting to create sideburns, moustaches,
or beards that are highly realistic on film.
These pieces can be used repeatedly if they
are well maintained, making them ideal for
theatre or film continuity. A make-up artist

secure wigs to a performer’s head.

ADM I S S I O N R E Q U I R E ME NTS
High school diploma or equivalent. Additional
transcripts may be requested.
Students are taught to recognize different lighting
setups, and how they will affect a make-up
application through this exercise.
STU D E N T K I T S
Students enrolled in classes at Complections
will be issued a student kit. The student kit
consists of items that students will work with
while in class, as well as necessities that will be
required in their professional kit upon completion
of the course. We have compiled a list of specific
products and equipment of the highest quality
from selected manufacturers, which are sold at
a discount to our students. Each course has a
specific student kit list, and this list is issued upon
enrollment in the course. Student kits are distributed on the first day of classes.
In each section of the longer programs, the
instructor will book a series of photo shoots.
Students will be instructed to design and visualize
the setting and mood for the photo shoot. The
photo shoots take place in our photography
studio, located on-campus; students also have
the option to take a photo outside (should it be
appropriate to the overall aesthetic of the shot).
STU D E N T P O RT F O LI O S
All courses at Complections that run six weeks
in duration or longer include photographic
shoots as part of the curriculum. Professional
photographers and lab fees are included in the
student kit. Professional models and actresses are
provided for all the fashion photographic shoots.
In the film and television, theatre, and prosthetics
courses students supply their own models, usually
classmates, friends, and family. The final portfolio
reflects many of the different skills students have
acquired through their study period. A good
portfolio is an essential tool to demonstrate the
student’s expertise to prospective agents, clients,
and producers.

J OB POST IN G AN D E-M AIL I N G S ERVI C E
Complections provides a job posting system that
alerts students and alumni about contract job
opportunities. The school’s high standards of
excellence are known to many employers all over
the world, and we are often approached to help
crew films or to build teams of artists for various
events. These may include start-up production
companies shooting a film, a music video on a
budget, theatrical productions on a shoestring,
or a fashion designer launching a career. The job
posting opportunities reward the student with
invaluable experience, contacts, reels, credits,
portfolio shots, and referrals.
Jobs posted vary in type and duration. When a job
request comes in that requires a make-up artist for
evening or weekend shoots, the students currently
attending will have first priority. However, if the job
is during school hours, recent graduates will be
notified and given the opportunity to take the job.
All incoming jobs are posted on the JOB BOARD
in the school and are accessible to all current
students and graduates. They will also be e-mailed
to all students that have e-mail addresses.
Students have access to the job posting system
up to one year after their graduation date.

Courtesy and consideration towards fellow students,
staff, and visitors to the school is mandatory.
There is a zero tolerance policy towards cheating

DI SCL AI MERS
The school reserves the right to change the order
of curriculum in any given course as it sees fit,
acting in the best interests of the students. The
school reserves the right to cancel or change course
starting dates and will give fair notice of start

Q: Does Complections
provide housing for students?
A: The school does not have student apartments or
dormitories. Students must find accommodations
independently. The school prepares a lengthy
accommodations list with Web sites, virtual tours,
and helpful phone numbers, including important
information for long- or short-term visitors to
Toronto. The accommodations list is included in
your Complections Brochure Package.
We are pleased to assist you with any questions
or concerns that you may have as a visitor or new
resident to Toronto.
Q: What is the cost of living in Toronto?
A: Budgeting is an important aspect of planning
for a successful period of study. Prior to starting,
students should prepare a budget that realistically
identifies regular monthly expenses: rent, food,
utilities, phone, cable television, internet access,
transportation, and entertainment. Additional costs
may include moving expenses, trips home for
long weekends and holidays, and any additional
items you may wish to purchase throughout
your studies. Students should also budget for
spending on additional course materials, including
photocopies needed for class assignments,
reference material, spillage, or replenishing kit items.
Q: Is financial assistance available?
A: For Canadian students, government student
loans are available to those who qualify and
are permanent residents of Canada, Canadian
citizens, or landed immigrants. Each province
monitors and designates its own Student Assistance Program. Complections is recognized in
all Canadian provinces, and local loans may be
obtained to attend our school. We advise that you
apply for provincial assistance at least six weeks
before your start date.
For both International and Canadian students,
private bank loans or student lines of credit are
available at most major financial institutions.
Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Province
of Quebec operate their own student assistance
plans. Contact the provincial or territorial student
assistance office for information.
Our office would be pleased to provide a list of
provincial and territorial student assistance offices.
Q: Is an interview, a portfolio, or previous
make-up experience required for admission?
A: No, you are not required to attend an interview.
However, campus tours provide valuable time
to discuss your goals and ambitions, and to ask
questions and receive full details about the course
that would be most suitable to your career goals.
No, we do not expect you to have a portfolio as
a condition of entering a course. Some students
studying at Complections may not have worked in
the field and therefore have never been required to
have a portfolio. You will be compiling a portfolio
while you attend any course that is six weeks or
longer.
Q: Are job placement services
offered after graduation?
A: Yes! Complections provides job-posting services as a courtesy to our students and graduates.
See Job Posting under School Information.
Q: What is the success rate of your students?
A: Complections boasts over 4000 graduates
worldwide. Many movies, television shows, and
magazines worldwide have our graduates credited
for make-up.
Our graduate success and employment statistics
are available upon request. Please contact the
Registrar for details.

Q: Can I expect to earn
a living as a Make-up Artist?
A: As a self-employed person, the amount of money
you can earn depends not only on your education,
but also on your talent and your drive to succeed.
Make-up artistry can be a very financially rewarding
career choice. There are hundreds of options and
avenues for a make-up artist to pursue.
Q: Are there separate tuition
fees for international students?
A: Our tuition fees do not change for international
students. All fees listed are in Canadian dollars.
Q: Is financial assistance
available for international students?
A: Canadian student loans are not available to
international students. We suggest you contact
your local government’s department or ministry of
education to inquire about student loans to study
abroad. Private student bank loans or student lines
of credit are available from most major financial
institutions. We are pleased to provide students with
Canadian student bank loan information.
Q: As an international student,
how do I apply for a student visa?
A: As soon as you have registered for a course at
Complections, a Confirmation of Enrollment Letter
will be issued to you by mail or in person. You
must take this letter to the Canadian consulate
or embassy in your country. (Note that American
students do not need a student visa if they are
taking a course under six months in duration.) Visa
procedures vary from one embassy to another. The
Canadian consulate or embassy in your country
should be able to advise you of the length of
time required.
Q: How do I apply?
A: Complete your Complections Application for
Admission, which is included in your brochure
package. Mail, courier, fax, email or drop off in
person to the Administration Office along with the
application fee to apply. An acceptance letter will
be issued to you based on availability of space
and that all admission requirements are met.
Q: I am not fluent in English.
Will this be a problem for me?
A: We recommend that you feel confident with
your English language skills before attending
Complections. However, the school has successfully
trained many international students with limited
spoken or written English. Our teaching style is very
hands-on, which is helpful to students for whom
English is not their first language. On request,
students with English-language skills difficulties can
have their examinations conducted orally.
Q: Can an international student work in Canada?
A: Students from outside Canada who are not
Canadian Citizens or Landed Immigrants are not
permitted to accept paid employment. Volunteer
work experience is permitted
