Malaysia's Trusted Professional Makeup Academy

For over two decades, KAI Image Academy has shaped the careers of aspiring makeup artists across Malaysia. Based in Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya, we deliver internationally recognised makeup artistry training that turns passion into a professional qualification — and a profession.

About KAI Image Academy

Established in 2000, KAI Image Academy is one of Malaysia’s most established professional makeup schools. We’ve built our reputation on one principle: train artists to a global standard, not a hobbyist one.

Every programme is designed to be practical, portfolio-driven and career-focused. Small class sizes mean personal attention. A structured curriculum means you leave with more than technique — you leave with a recognised certification, a working portfolio, and the confidence to take on paying clients from day one.

From bridal and beauty makeup to editorial, fashion and special-effects artistry, our course catalogue covers the full spectrum of the professional makeup industry.

Why Choose KAI Image Academy

Nearly 30 years of expertise. Learn directly from a founder-educator whose career spans the professional makeup and beauty industry, not a rotating roster of part-time tutors.

Hands-on, practical training. You’ll spend your time working on real faces and real briefs — building the muscle memory and portfolio that employers and clients actually look for.

Career-ready outcomes. Our graduates go on to work in bridal, editorial, fashion, TV and freelance makeup artistry. We train you to earn, not just to know.

Multilingual support. Courses and guidance are available in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin, so you learn in the language you’re most comfortable in.
