Makeup serves many purposes—whether for personal expression, building a professional career, or simply for fun. More than just enhancing one’s appearance, it has the incredible ability to instill confidence. This confidence grows through proper knowledge and consistent practice. With a strong desire to discover my own style and develop my self-esteem, I had the privilege of visiting the Best Makeup School in the Philippines, Makeup Science Asia, as part of an exciting collaboration.
Located at 7 G. Felipe Sr., San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City, Makeup Science Asia has been a beacon of excellence in the beauty industry since its establishment in 2018. Renowned for teaching individuals from across the globe, the academy focuses on empowering students to enhance their natural features through the perfect blend of science and artistry.
What truly sets Makeup Science Asia apart is its unique approach—combining technical precision with creative expression to deliver exceptional results. In an inspiring interview, CEO Ms. Abby Ofrasio shared her vision: “I wanted to create a space where aspiring makeup artists and enthusiasts could bridge the gap between creativity and technical skill, all while embracing the science behind makeup application.”
Exploring the world of makeup can feel overwhelming when done alone, but being guided by their professional instructor, Coach Mye, completely transformed my perspective. From an in-depth discussion on skincare to the step-by-step application of makeup, she patiently unraveled my confusion, teaching me how to properly handle brushes with precision and care.
This experience highlighted the importance of having highly qualified professionals in the beauty industry. As CEO Ms. Abby Ofrasio explained, “Our instructors are highly qualified professionals with certifications from the academy and years of hands-on experience in editorial, bridal, and professional makeup artistry. To ensure they stay current, we encourage continuous education through international beauty expos, in-house training, and trend forecasting sessions.”
In addition to the Self-Application class I attended, Makeup Science Asia offers a wide range of courses tailored to meet the diverse needs of their students. Their Professional Makeup course spans 22 engaging and informative sessions, culminating in a summative portfolio requirement for graduation.
For those looking to elevate their expertise, programs like the Advanced Professional Makeup course and the Airbrush Masterclass provide opportunities to refine and enhance existing skills. Whether in their studio or online, these programs are designed to make high-quality beauty education accessible to anyone, no matter their location.
I had the opportunity to experience their latest offering—the Comprehensive Color Analysis—personally hosted by the CEO herself. This session was a transformative journey of self-exploration, allowing me to uncover my unique color profile.
Much like their makeup classes, this service plays a vital role in personal styling. By identifying one’s undertone and seasonal color palette, it helps students discover the most flattering makeup shades, jewelry, hair, nail colors, and even outfit choices. It’s an empowering experience and a remarkable way to embrace self-discovery!
Students don’t just leave with the free brushes and sponges they’ve used; they take home invaluable knowledge and skills that propel them toward their goals of growth and mastery. Makeup Science Asia ensures that every student completes their courses with the confidence and expertise needed to excel in the beauty industry.
