What is included in the course cost?

As well as all your class modules, handouts and notes. Basically we include all you need to complete the course.

Are there any additional costs?

Students are required to supply a makeup primer, a beauty blender, a brush cleaner and false eyelashes. These can be purchased through The Makeup Professionals with a student discount applied.

Do I need to purchase a makeup kit to complete the course?

No. We supply all the makeup required to complete the course. We do offer kits for you to purchase once you have completed the course with a student discount. You are also able to purchase products separately at a discounted price. The kits are put together by The Makeup Professionals, as we know what you will need to get started immediately in your makeup journey. They are a great starter kit which you are able to then build upon in your own time.

What brands do you use?

We are pleased to offer students of The Makeup Professionals use of the complete range of Napoleon Perdis cosmetics.

Students are also able to create a student discount account with Lash Republic by Milan & Co. - an industry leader in false eyelashes.

What happens if I miss a class?

We require 80% attendance to successfully complete the course. That equates to you attending a minimum of 10 out of the 12 classes. We understand things come up, illness etc and we will endeavour to catch you up on any coursework as best we can!

Do I need to bring a model to class?

Yes. Models are required from week 2 on Tuesday evenings 6pm-9pm. In total you will need 5 models. We ask that you try to source five different models of different ages, face and skin types as this will aid in you gaining the best knowledge in the industry. Why not use your time in class with your educators to assist with problematic skin conditions or mature skin?!

What is the difference between an accredited and non-accredited course?

Makeup application is not an accredited industry so having an accreditation or Statement of Attainment is not compulsory to be able to work in the industry.

The Makeup Professionals have both worked in accredited and non-accredited training institutions. Our 6 week courses are based around a Certificate II in Makeup, but involves a more hands on practical approach with up to date techniques.

Accreditation means the course is nationally recognised and that a registered training organisation (RTO) can issue a nationally recognised qualification or statement of attainment following its full or partial completion. A statement of attainment is a list of individual units or subjects completed within a course. An accredited course means that the course or unit completed is recognised within different states or territories of Australia.

What are the benefits of in class training compared to online training?

Where do we start! Firstly, you get out of the house! Secondly, whilst learning such a practical course we feel it is beneficial for you to see up close demonstrations in real life - the pressure of brush strokes, the techniques to get that perfect blend, the troubles of using the incorrect foundations on certain skin types, what they look like, seeing other students in their triumphs and trials and learning from mistakes we will are so important. Having an industry professional with you every step of the way for help and guidance in real time is imperative! We find that students find some techniques difficult at first, but with and educator to guide and support you, techniques will be mastered so much quicker. Classes are kept small to ensure everyone has one-on-one training when required. The Makeup Professionals in class demonstrations allow students to ask questions and get up close and personal to see the results.
