Nation's Most Popular Professional Make-up Artistry Lecture and Workshop series offers hands-on workshops in Los Angeles and on tour throughout the U.S.
In 2001 celebrity make-up artist, James Ryder set out to bridge the gap between cosmetology schools and make-up schools by providing hands on, non product specific advanced training and career guidance. His partnerships with industry giants, Paul Mitchell, AVEDA and Toni & Guy have helped steer countless students away from make-up schools and into cosmetology school. RYDER make-up labs now has over 300,000 alumni in the U.S..
The photos we post on Model Mayhem are examples of student work (most while still attending cosmetology school) created during our invitation only boot camp. To see more amazing student work, visit http:// rydermakeuplabs.com.
