FOUNDER • MASTER ARTIST • EDUCATOR • VISIONARY

For more than three decades, Mireille Bertrand has immersed herself in the world of professional makeup artistry, beauty, fashion, and education—building an extraordinary international perspective shaped by artistry, culture, innovation, and the highest standards of the beauty industry.

Today, that experience arrives in San Diego with the creation of Maquillage USA—an exclusive destination dedicated to the art and mastery of professional makeup.

More than an academy, Maquillage USA is Mireille’s vision of what exceptional makeup education should become.

Inspired by the sophistication of international fashion, the artistry of editorial beauty, and the glamour of Hollywood, the academy was created for individuals who aspire to transform their talent into a distinguished professional career.

Mireille’s philosophy is rooted in one essential belief: true artistry is cultivated through knowledge, discipline, creativity, and experience.

Her approach brings together refined technique, international artistry, advanced education, professional industry standards, and an intimate understanding of the beauty world. Students are immersed in an environment designed to develop not only technical excellence, but also the confidence, creativity, sophistication, and professional presence required to succeed in an increasingly global industry.

From editorial and fashion to red carpet, entertainment, beauty, luxury, and commercial artistry, Maquillage USA introduces students to the many worlds where exceptional makeup artists can create their signature.

Every detail reflects Mireille’s commitment to excellence—from the education and artistry to the professional perspective and global vision behind every program.
