LA Make Up launches Irish Federation of Makeup Artists.

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Tuesday night saw the official launch party of IFMA in Odessa, Dame St. Dublin. Founded by LA Makeup Academy, Irish and International make up professionals gathered together to celebrate the introduction of this representative organisation for the profession of Make-Up artists in Ireland.

While enjoying a bite to eat and a refreshing drink (or two), body painted models and dancers mingled with the guests. Everyone wanted a picture! Midway through the party Lorraine O’Neill stood before the crowd and spoke eloquently about the accomplishments of LA Make up Academy, IFMA and their future promises to Irish make up artists.

IFMA is here to raise the status of make-up artistry as a profession in Ireland, to provide advisory services to its members, to private creative and competitive platforms through which their members’ skills can be developed. The Federation provides an Advice Line whereby members can get help or advice relating to trade or employment issues. IFMA is a non – profit organization. For more details see www.ifma.ie
