Regardless of your career aspirations and industry interests, HUXLEY has the courses to help students reach their full potential and bridge the gap between education and employment opportunities.
A piece of paper doesn’t equal a job. At HUXLEY we understand what employers, clients, and organisations require from their artists.
The best way to learn and reach your goals is to total immerse yourself in your chosen discipline. At HUXLEY students have access to experienced, passionate industry leaders who have actually done it all before. They gain real-world experience on exciting in-class collaborations and shoots while developing a deep understanding of relevant industry knowledge and practices.
The scope of employment for professionals within the makeup industry is extremely broad. Common fields such as film, cosmetics and bridal industries are well known. However, the breadth of employment opportunities extends to e-commerce, fashion, commercial, and even non-traditionally creative industries such as marketing, business development, and product development to name a few. Even within certain fields, individuals throughout their career specialise in areas that interest them. For example, in film, there are specialisations ranging from on set applications to manufacturing props and effects to concept design and project management.
HUXLEY is extremely well-connected to the Film & TV industry as our students have continually demonstrated fantastic work ethics and are always welcomed back. Half of our trainers and past students are also actively working on-set too, so we are always keeping up with the latest training and trends. As a HUXLEY student, you will get real-world experience and be offered opportunities to work on the latest unreleased productions; an irreplaceable addition to your resume.
Gold Coast has a booming film industry with a new studio opening in 2023 as well as the iconic Village Roadshow Studios where Aquaman and Thor were filmed (of course our students were there!). On almost all productions, you can expect to be well looked after and food catered to you. Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) documents will need to be signed, and you will get contracted work periods or consistent hours.
You must have the knowledge to understand the difference between working in the snow, sun, and water, whatever it may be the makeup team need to use the correct products and process for the makeup to stay. Sunscreen is a huge factor, remember that. Learning how to keep the cast camera ready and maintain sunscreen.

The bridal industry is HUGE, so there is a consistent demand for makeup artists and hair stylists. Some weddings exceed $10k in payment for the bridal party’s makeup and hair!
Your makeup brushes must be cleaned between use on each individual at the bridal party. Your kit must be easy to pack up and unpack from your car, and also needs to be ready for everything and anything. Some artists even do a trial, this way your client knows what to expect so there is less pressure and stress on the big day.
You can work with an assistant, or a team, or go solo and complete the bride and bridesmaid’s makeup and hair. We highly recommend that you complete the hair course as it is easy for your client to hire one person for both jobs. Remember to look presentable so you don’t ruin their photos!

Each look you design at HUXLEY will be based on a concept or topic. This means you will develop a story and meaning behind your intention to get to the final outcome.

We continuously encourage students to push their boundaries and test different mediums to produce beautiful designs; our Instagram is a great depiction of this.
