Welcome to Brushstroke’s 3-day glam makeup masterclass! This intensive 3 Day makeup course is designed to teach you the basics of makeup application and help your develop skills and to decide whether you want to become a professional makeup artist, or just boost your following on Instagram. Over the course of three days, you will learn about a range of basic makeup techniques, including skincare, foundation, contouring and highlighting, smokey eyes, nude lips, eyeliner, red lips, and adding some sparkle to your makeup looks.

On day one, you will learn about the basics of skincare, foundation, and contouring and highlighting. This is the foundation of any makeup look.

Day two, in this short period of time we will show you how to create a smokey eye technique. Then, you’ll learn how to combine with a subtle nude lip to create a timeless and sophisticated look. 

On day three, you’ll focus on creating a bold and glamorous look with eyeliner, red lips, and added sparkle to your look.

Everyone’s skills and experience may differ on this 3 day course, so don’t be disheartened if you don’t get it right the first time. Our longer diploma qualification courses are designed to hone and develop your makeup skills, regardless of your starting point. With our expert makeup instructors and hands-on training, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your technique and perfect your skills on our two year course. We believe that with dedication and practice, anyone can become a skilled makeup and hair artist, and we’re committed to helping our students achieve their goals.
