Makeup Course - maximum 6 students working at a time.
Hairstyling Course - maximum of 8 students.

- Easy to follow, detailed notes are given in the Makeup Course, allowing you to watch the demonstrations without furiously trying to take notes.

Pro Makeup Products:

- You’ll learn using a full range of professional, industry grade, products that I personally use on every job I’m booked for.

- No makeup artist uses just one brand, and neither will you as my student!

- Strong product knowledge is essential - giving you the ability to create stunning looks that are long lasting as well as hold up through tears, sweat, heat, safe on sensitive skin and look amazing in real life as well as photographically.

- Each table is fully stocked, allowing each student to do their best work.

- NO need to purchase a kit to successfully complete the course.

Shoot with Melbourne’s finest professionals:

In 20 years of freelancing I have never (ever!) been asked for my certificates ONLY my portfolio (I hold a Diploma & certificates from Hollywood, USA and Australia).

Any past or present makeup student of the Joanna Blair School Of Makeup is invited to participate in beautifully styled shoots designed to give you the knowledge and experience of being on set. Not only that, you’ll have stunning images of work to show your potential brides and clients what you’re capable of.
(Shoot is optional and not included in the course fees).
