MEZI MAKEUP ACADEMY
Real Education. Real Artistry. No Gatekeeping.
After years of teaching at Chicago’s top makeup schools, Pro Makeup Artist and Educator Karla Arias founded MEZI MAKEUP ACADEMY to make high-quality makeup education more accessible, creative, and empowering. Whether you’re an aspiring artist ready to break into the industry or simply want to master your own makeup, MEZI offers flexible workshops and private lessons without the pressure of a long-term program. Learn in a vibrant, fully equipped studio with personalized instruction, pro-level techniques, and bold, inclusive products that celebrate every face. This is where artistry meets confidence—and everyone’s welcome.
Vision
At MEZI, our vision is to redefine makeup education by making it inclusive, approachable, and creatively empowering — giving every person the confidence and skills to express themselves through color, artistry, and self-love. We see the world in bold, electric, unexpected color — and we believe makeup should be just as expressive. Through teaching, artistry, and vibrant product design, MEZI inspires confidence and creativity, helping people see (and wear) beauty in ways they never imagined.
Mission
Our mission is to help you break out of your comfort zone! No matter if you're a total beginner or a future pro, we will teach you how to incorporate bold color, new techniques, and fun twists into your routine. Through short-term classes, private lessons, and products designed to actually work on every face, we’ll guide you step-by-step in finding your own unique style with zero judgment and all the fun.
