Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Start Taking Paying Clients

Brides, formals, photo shoots, birthdays. You learn how to read a client's skin tone and build a look that suits her, then practise it until it feels normal. That is the work people pay for.

Upskill For Your Current Role

Already on a cosmetics counter or in a salon? Go deeper on eyes and brows, lips and cheeks, and full looks, at your own pace. Your mentor gives you feedback on what you send in.

Study Around Your Life

Video lessons on demand, no classroom, no set start date. Retake assessments as many times as you need, and keep lifetime access so you can come back to a technique later.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Makeup skills get used all over the beauty world: weddings, formals, photo shoots, cosmetics counters and social media. The work is easy to picture: a bride's morning, a client in your chair before a big night, a Saturday on the counter.

Freelance Makeup Artist

Your own clients and your own hours. Reading skin tone and building a look to suit the person is the skill this work runs on.

Bridal Makeup Artist

Wedding mornings, where the look has to last all day and photograph well. Dedicated looks are a topic in the course, not an afterthought.

Special Occasion Makeup Artist

Formals, birthdays and events. Eyes and brows, lips and cheeks, done for a big night out.

Retail Cosmetics Makeup Artist

Counter work in a store, matching products to a customer's complexion and showing her how to use them.

Social Media Makeup Artist

Looks made for the camera. The same techniques, shown to an audience instead of one client.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Is this course for beginners?

Yes, and it goes further than that. It starts with skin tone and complexion, then builds up to full looks. It is written for the keen hobbyist and for someone who wants makeup as a career.

How long does the course take?

Around 80 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 a week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay in four with Afterpay and upfront.

How are assessments done?

Multiple choice questions and video assignments, so you show your technique as well as your knowledge. Retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

Do I get feedback on my work?

Yes. You get one on one mentor support from a mentor with industry experience, and you can chat to them anytime. Tutor help runs by phone and email on weekdays, with live chat 7 days a week.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and you do not need one to start taking makeup clients.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
