The Joe Blasc's MakeUp Artist Studio Story

Our Vision

Now, after having opened his first school in 1968, his second in 1974, his third in 1991, his fourth in 1994 and his fifth in 2000, he and his new associate Maxine Fensom are creating his newest and best makeup seminar studio .


NOW IN 2026,  Mr. Blasco will  once again teach professional Makeup as he did  years ago. He and the makeup teachers he is personally selecting will teach the most relevant  modern makeup techniques combining and  skillfully uniting them with  already  “set-in-stone” classic techniques developed originally  by  Vincent JR Kehoe, Max Factor, Richard Corson, Mr. Kiva Hoffman, Gene Hibbs, Hal King, Lee Greenway, the Westmore’s, Rudy Horvatich, Gordon and George Bau, Ben Nye, Helena Rubinstein, Elizabeth Arden, Charles Revson,  Jack P Pierce and the wisdom of many other historically famous makeup artists (including Joe Blasco) from the past golden years of the makeup industry, many of which were actually Mr. Blasco’s teachers. 


All of the makeup  knowledge developed through those many 12 decades (120 years) CAN NOW BE YOURS! As you will see, there NOW is a better way of learning make up than by watching self-taught inexperienced artists demonstrate their homemade techniques on YouTube.

Beauty Seminars

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 makeup 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.

ACT 2 CONTINUED SPECIAL ELECTIVE SEMINAR #4 AN ACTUAL ONE DAY 5 to 8 HOUR MORTUARY MAKEUP SEMINAR

  • Mortuary Makeup Defined
  • Mortuary Makeup Techniques
  • Eye Caps Defined
  • Lip Waxing Defined
  • Define “Final Presentation”
  • Pre-Showing Family Discussion
  • Demonstration upon an actual cadaver at a local mortuary is only available for classes of 14 or more attendees. 


  • Very few professional makeup artists understand the intricate and delicate mortuary makeup process, nor do they attempt to do so. You will become light-years beyond your peers by attending this fascinating
    and essential seminar.


  • The sincere gratitude offered by grieving families is unmatched by any other recognition received in the industry.


  • There is no extensive hands-on work required, except for a brief, closely supervised sponge and brush application on embalmed skin to experience proper texture and technique. This is a highly specialized process.


  • Attendees may decline hands-on participation and observe only. Even without direct application, you will gain the training necessary which,  Joe Blasco  has used many times. You will know exactly what to do should a celebrity or client requests that you perform their “Final Presentation” makeup.


  • Proper mortuary protocol is first lectured at the Joe Blasco's  Makeup Artist  Studio prior to departure to the mortuary. 


  • This is a very special, unique class only available from Joe Blasco, which clearly punctuates the
    seriousness and depth of our educational level of competency and commitment. 


  • This session is not taught at makeup schools or cosmetology schools
    anywhere in the United States of America. This very special seminar is only offered and personally taught by Joe Blasco. 


  • This seminar will definitely raise your professional level of proficiency and competency above all others in the field. It will also open a new and challenging work opportunity for cosmetology-licensed attendees, and
    may inspire unlicensed attendees to pursue licensure. 


  • Some mortuaries will accept artists with cosmetician and aesthetician licenses. 


  • Even if an attendee chooses not to enter the mortuary makeup field, the knowledge gained in this seminar is invaluable and will greatly elevate overall their mastery of the makeup artistry profession.

ACT 3

  • Each seminar may be taken individually to only receive a “Certificate of Time Applied” (CTA)
  • Satisfactory completion of ALL Seminars affords the attendee receipt of the famous “Joe
    Blasco Makeup Artist Certification” (JBMAC) personally signed and dated by Mr. Blasco.
  • THIS BEAUTIFUL CERTIFICATE IS WHAT ALL ATTENDEES STRIVE TO ACHIEVE. 
  • MR. BLASCO WILL ISSUE TWO CERTIFICATES, ONE LARGE “CERTIFICATE”, AND A SMALLER
    "CERTIFICATE", SIMILAR IN SIZE TO AN ACTUAL COSMETOLOGY LICENSE.


Mr BLASCO REQUIRES THAT THE SMALLER CERTIFICATE BE PLACED ON THE MIRROR AT YOUR
WORKSTATION AT ALL TIMES WHILE YOU PERFORM YOUR MAGIC UPON YOUR GRATEFUL AND
ADMIRING CLIENTS. 


Individuals who complete ALL seminars in a satisfactory manner, and who receive the “Joe Blasco
Makeup Artist Certification”, are automatically placed on our “availability list” for
work assignments through the Joe Blasco Makeup Artist Agency.  


Assignment selection is dependent upon the type of work required and upon each individual 

artists ability to execute their work. 


  • JBMS  absoluly does not employ an unfair lottery system of job assignment.


  • It is our professional contention that a makeup artists ability to quickly respond online
    by clicking on the right buttons more quickly than other artists who are given the same
    notification of a job, does not fairly indicate whether that artist is capable of doing the
    job as required, it only indicates that the artist has mastered the method of clicking
    buttons faster than the other artists.


  • That AI method of conducting makeup work assignment selection for specific jobs
    and is extremely unfair to artists who have worked extra hard to master the more
    difficult areas of makeup artistry.


  •  There may be JBMS artists more proficient in areas of the art than other
    JBMS artists. So, to properly address that reality, and to be fair to all artists and
    employers, JBMS has created several levels of certification proficiency which
    permits the artist to raise from possible lower levels of certification to the highest
    level through several continuing advanced testing procedures.


  • There are four levels of JBMS certification proficiency. 65%, 75%, 85% and
    95 -100%. These proficiency levels are assigned to each attendee’s
    certification certificate according to the percentage grade received on the
    initial certification exam.


  • Individuals who fail to pass the final examination by having scores below
    65% are given three months within which to PRACTICE for re-testing. 


  • Practice can be done at home, or at JBMS when space is available for a low, reasonable SPACE UTILIZATION fee of only $15 per hour. There is no instruction or teacher supervision available for the  $15 hourly space utilization.


  • Teacher supervision and additional instruction, however, is available and the hourly fee is variable and contingent upon the subject matter and the hours required.
