Founder of the professionnal MAKE UP FOR EVER brand, Dany Sanz, a former painter and sculptor, has always been passionate about teaching the art of make-up. She created the Paris MAKE UP FOR EVER ACADEMY in 2002. Make-up addicts, beginner or confirmed make-up artists come to the Academy to learn or refine their make-up techniques and give full rein to their creativity.

Each year, more than 250 make-up artists from the whole world train at the Paris Academy, a light filled loft in a hip part of central Paris, near Canal Saint-Martin.

Create, Educate, Elevate, this is the mission of the Paris Academy: to train people from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures to reveal their artistic sensivity and acquire the revelant techniques. Since more than 10 years, the MAKE UP FOR EVER ACADEMY Paris delivers a unique teaching methodology, made of demonstrations, theory, supervised experimentations and creative challenges in-situ experiments with models, lighting and professional photographers.
