Short Intensive CoursesWe are aware that not everyone has years to dedicate to training or to getting a qualification. As the leading beauty school in Nigeria, we have the most specialized short courses. We believe that the best type of learning comes from intensive training in small classes by experienced tutors who are commercially active within the industry. We know this and has been proven by our enrollment rate over the years.
Small ClassesOur classes are run numerous times throughout the year but are kept small – in order to maximize learning potential and learning outcomes. Small classes ensure plenty of attention and one-on-one focus from our educators. You will be closely guided throughout your course to ensure you perfect your makeup techniques!

House of Tara Makeup School was founded in 2004 by professional makeup artist, Tara Fela-Durotoye and she started by teaching one person. While teaching, she noticed the desire in her student to know more about the artistry. This desire led her to setup a comprehensive makeup school that offers an up-to-date education to aspiring makeup artists.
At the time, there were no makeup schools in Nigeria and she developed a detailed makeup curriculum that has since shaped the beauty industry as we know it. Most of the industry’s training happened informally through apprenticeships and internships that were often unpaid and all-but-inaccessible to people without inside connections and financial means. With so few doorways to the beauty industry and so many interested young people, someone needed to bridge that gap and Tara Fela-Durotoye did just that.
The school opened its doors in a modest facility in Victoria Island, Lagos and recruited its first set of students. The plan was simple: offer shorter, more concentrated classes; keep all instruction materials up-to-date with the latest professional methods and standards; and attract top working artists to work in the makeup studio. And the makeup school is presently doing just that.
