Creative Makeup
Workshop
Learn how to design striking, artistic looks using professional techniques and products.
This workshop gives you the full experience of working as a creative makeup artist. You’ll explore different tools, brushes, and products, learning how to create a range of looks from subtle enhancements to bold, expressive styles. You’ll also practice colour theory, blending, and application techniques so your finished looks feel polished, confident, and uniquely your own.
After a short introduction to the fundamentals of makeup artistry, it’s completely hands-on. From the moment you start, you’ll be experimenting with different techniques, layering products, and seeing how small changes transform a look. Working alongside other participants, you’ll share ideas and approaches, taking turns practicing on yourself or others. By the end, you’ll have designed and applied your own creative makeup look from start to finish, and you’ll take away the skills, confidence, and photos of your finished work to prove it, ready to build on or start your portfolio.
