2026 PRO M/U TECHNIQUE
Designed Personally
By JOE BLASCO
All completed Joe Blasco Seminar Sessions follow and further expand upon the groundbreaking 2,000-page encyclopedic makeup book, The Professional Makeup Artist, written by Joe Blasco and Vincent J-R Kehoe.
This extraordinary volume is widely regarded as the most comprehensive literary work ever created on the art of professional classic makeup artistry. Authored by the two pioneers of modern makeup techniques and creators of the world’s finest professional makeup products, the book represents a historic milestone in beauty education, drawn from their combined 110 years of experience across every phase of makeup artistry for film, fashion, society beauty, special effects, and the related arts, crafts, and digital imaging industries.
The seminars present the most detailed and advanced professional makeup techniques ever taught and form an elite educational series not offered in traditional makeup schools—unless one had the rare opportunity to attend the original Joe Blasco Makeup Centers in Hollywood, Orlando, Nashville, or Miami’s South Beach. For those who did not, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the next best thing to being taught directly by the master himself.
