Headed by Director of Education, Leonard Engelman, the Governor of Make-up of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, CMS brings to the classroom some of the very best working professional makeup artists as mentors and instructors, replacing the apprenticeship of old Hollywood.
Students do not learn from fresh graduates of the school, but seasoned, recognised and skilled working make-up artists with years of artistic make-up experience.

Below, you can find a link accessing the school's YouTube Channel.
This link in particular leads to a video clip showing Lee Joyner (“Godzilla”, “Mimic”, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", “Stargate SG1”), working along with graduate Tomo Hayashi, apply a silicone gel filled appliance (GFA), encapsulated in plastic cap material, on actor Perry Shields for Monsterpalooza 2009 in Burbank, California.
Perry was performing as Jack Pierce, legendary makeup artist who created such iconic horror makeups as Frankenstein (Boris Karloff), The Mummy (Boris Karloff), The Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.), and worked on classic films such as Dracula and The Invisible Man.
This is an example of the cutting edge technology that make-up students travel from around the world to learn at CMS (Cinema Make-up School) in Los Angeles, California.
