Basic to Advance Makeup Course

Lesson 1 • Professional Kit Setup and Hygiene

Covers mandatory sanitation protocols and kit organisation for client-safe practice. Establishes the hygiene baseline every subsequent technique depends on.

Lesson 2 • Skin Types and Prep Protocols

Distinguishes oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin and maps each to a prep routine. Proper prep directly determines foundation longevity and finish quality.

Lesson 3 • Lighting and Workspace Essentials

Explains how lighting temperature affects colour perception and how to set up a functional station. A properly lit workspace prevents correctable errors from going unnoticed.

Lesson 4 • Skin Anatomy and Undertones

Examines skin layers, sebaceous activity, and undertone theory. Accurate skin reading is the prerequisite for all colour-matching decisions in the course.

Lesson 1 • Application Tools and Methods

Covers brush, sponge, and finger application with technique variations for each. Tool choice directly affects finish texture and product consumption.

Lesson 2 • Shade Matching Techniques

Teaches jawline testing, natural-light verification, and undertone-led selection. Accurate shade matching is the single most visible marker of professional skill.

Lesson 3 • Foundation Formulas and Finishes

Compares liquid, cream, powder, and stick foundations by coverage and finish. Matching formula to skin type prevents common issues like creasing and oxidation.

Lesson 4 • Setting and Longevity Techniques

Applies translucent powders, setting sprays, and baking techniques to lock the base. Students learn to balance longevity with a natural, non-cakey finish.

Lesson 1 • Blush Placement by Face Shape

Maps blush application to each face shape for a lifted, healthy flush. Blush ties contour and highlight together into a cohesive, dimensional look.

Lesson 2 • Contouring Products and Placement

Compares matte powders, cream sticks, and bronzers for shadow creation. Correct placement recedes features and adds structural definition without looking muddy.

Lesson 3 • Bronzer and Sun-Kissed Looks

Distinguishes bronzer from contour and teaches natural warmth placement. Students create believable sun-kissed effects without muddying the base.

Lesson 4 • Highlighting for Dimension

Applies liquid, powder, and cream highlighters to the high planes of the face. Strategic highlight placement creates luminosity and lifts features optically.

Lesson 1 • Eye Looks for Different Eye Shapes

Adapts techniques for hooded, monolid, deep-set, and wide-set eyes. Shape-specific adjustments ensure every client's eyes appear balanced and open.

Lesson 2 • Mascara and Lash Enhancement

Applies mascara techniques and introduces strip and individual lash application. Lash enhancement frames the eye and completes any eye look.

Lesson 3 • Eye Anatomy and Primer Application

Maps the lid, crease, brow bone, and inner corner as placement zones. Eye primer prevents creasing and intensifies pigment payoff for all shadow techniques.

Lesson 4 • Eyeshadow Blending Techniques

Teaches windshield-wiper, circular, and patting motions for seamless transitions. Blending skill is the core differentiator between amateur and professional eye work.

Lesson 1 • Filling and Defining Sparse Brows

Applies hair-stroke and ombre techniques to create fullness in sparse or over-plucked brows. Realistic strokes require light pressure and directional awareness.

Lesson 2 • Brow Shaping with Wax and Threading

Introduces waxing and threading as hair-removal methods for clean brow architecture. Clean edges amplify the impact of any filling technique applied afterwards.

Lesson 3 • Brow Mapping and Symmetry

Uses the golden ratio and facial landmarks to determine ideal brow start, arch, and tail. Accurate mapping prevents asymmetry before any product is applied.

Lesson 1 • Lip Anatomy and Shape Correction

Maps the Cupid's bow, philtrum columns, and lip border as structural guides. Liner placement corrects thin, uneven, or asymmetrical lips before colour is applied.

Lesson 2 • Lip Liner Application and Blending

Teaches precise liner tracing and blending into the lip for a seamless base. A well-applied liner prevents feathering and extends lipstick wear significantly.

Lesson 3 • Lipstick and Lip Gloss Application

Covers brush and direct application of cream, matte, and satin lipsticks plus gloss layering. Finish selection must complement the eye and skin look for overall balance.

Lesson 1 • Everyday and Natural Makeup Looks

Builds no-makeup makeup and polished everyday looks using minimal product. Speed and efficiency are emphasised alongside a flawless, effortless result.

Lesson 2 • Balancing Eyes, Lips, and Skin

Applies the rule of emphasis to prevent competing focal points in a complete look. Students learn to dial features up or down to achieve intentional visual harmony.

Lesson 3 • Client Consultation and Look Planning

Structures a pre-application consultation to align client expectations with achievable results. Documented look plans prevent miscommunication and support repeat bookings.

Lesson 4 • Evening and Glamour Looks

Elevates techniques with deeper pigments, cut creases, and high-impact finishes for evening wear. Drama is achieved through layering and precision rather than excess product.

Lesson 1 • Editorial and High-Fashion Makeup

Explores avant-garde colour, graphic liner, and textural elements used in editorial shoots. Students learn to interpret creative briefs and translate concepts into wearable art.

Lesson 2 • Airbrush Makeup Fundamentals

Introduces airbrush equipment, compressor settings, and water-based vs. silicone formulas. Airbrush delivers flawless, camera-ready coverage unachievable with manual tools.

Lesson 3 • Body Makeup and Skin Illustration

Extends makeup skills to the neck, décolletage, and body for events and productions. Body coverage and illustration require different product viscosities and setting methods.

Lesson 4 • Special Effects and Prosthetic Basics

Covers latex, silicone appliances, and wound simulation for theatrical and film contexts. SFX skills expand a makeup artist's market into entertainment and production.
