Our professional makeup course is the perfect way to break into the makeup industry and learn the fundamentals of makeup artistry, such as colour theory, foundation matching, facial analysis, and much more! These topics will provide you with a combination of knowledge and practical skills that will set you apart as a makeup artist.

All of our Adelaide makeup courses have a strong focus on both theory and practical skills, the theoretical topics taught at the start of the courses take all of the guesswork out of working on clients such as which contouring foundation shade or contouring pattern will best suit a clients face shape. If you’re trying to copy looks you’ve been inspired by, you’ll quickly realise that they do not look the same! You need to adapt your technique and placement to suit your client’s skin. Knowing how to create looks on different faces is the difference between an amateur and a professional makeup artist.

We follow on from these theoretical lessons and get to the fun part. Our instructors will spend dozens of hours teaching you different makeup techniques, trips & tricks for different styles of makeup and of course, you will get to spend a lot of your time at Face Agency practising and perfecting your craft and the helpful and insightful guidance of our instructors.
