I completed my full day beginners make-up course with Kathy, who was an exceptionally professional and knowledgeable makeup artist. Her patience and informative approach made the learning process enjoyable and effective. In just a short amount of time, Kathy taught me invaluable techniques that have significantly boosted my confidence in applying makeup across diverse client needs. Learning from her was not only educational but also incredibly fun. I highly recommend Kathy's course to anyone looking to enhance their makeup skills under the guidance of a skilled professional.
"You were made for more than binge watching make-up tutorials, second-guessing your application skills, and waiting for your first client to magically appear."

It’s not your fault if you don’t have this yet. There were 3 things working against you:
You believe you need formal training or a degree to start working as a makeup artist.
The reality is, many successful makeup artists are self-taught or have learned through practical experience and mentorship. I'll guide you through the essential skills and techniques you need to confidently start working with clients.
​
You think it's too competitive to break into the makeup industry, especially without a large social media following.
​
The reality is, there's room for everyone with unique styles and approaches. I'll show you how to master the fundamentals, so you can turn your passion into a paycheck, and start landing clients, even if you have less than 100 followers.
​
You're afraid of investing in expensive makeup products before you start earning.
​
The reality is, you can begin with a basic kit and gradually expand as you gain clients. I'll teach you cost-effective ways to build your kit and recommend essential products that won't break the bank.
I get it... I’ve been exactly where you are...
7 years ago I was dreaming of being a booked and busy makeup artist but back then, I was starting from scratch. I had zero clients, no Instagram presence, and honestly, not a ton of skills either.
It was a bit daunting, the mountain seemed so high and I kept asking myself, "How am I going to make this happen?"
But I was determined to conquer it and grow my makeup artist business. So I decided to invest in myself and my craft and I started hustling harder than ever, offering makeup for free to build my portfolio and practising non-stop.
And guess what? It paid off big time. As I honed my skills, (and made many mistakes along the way), I grew more confident and from that confidence I began attracting clients who were eager to book me. Within 6 months, I was living my dream as a fully booked make up artist.
Now, through my beginner training sessions, I’m here to help you kickstart your journey, so that you can bypass the mistakes that I made and get started in half the time I took.
It’s not just about learning makeup techniques—it’s about believing in yourself, putting in the work, and turning your passion into a thriving career. Let me show you how!
