The Curriculum
Most people who feel uncertain about makeup were never shown the right foundations. This class covers them in order, applied to your specific face. Not a generic demo. Not a tutorial filmed on someone else. Technique built around you, from start to finish.
01
Understanding your face shape, skin type, undertone, and the products that will actually work for you. This is the foundation everything else builds on, and most tutorials online skip it entirely.
02
Moisturiser, primer, and foundation application specific to your skin. Coverage, finish, and formula matched to you, not a generic tutorial. Concealer placement, setting, and how to make base look skin rather than mask.
03
Shaping, mapping, and filling in a way that flatters your specific face. Natural brows that frame. Done in 90 seconds once you know how.
04
From a clean and wearable everyday eye to a full glam look for events and occasions. Blending, liner placement, and how to make the crease work for your eye shape.
05
Placement mapped to your face structure, not a YouTube face. How to make it look sculpted and lit, not painted. The right products and brushes for a clean result every time.
06
Lip liner, lipstick and gloss application. Setting spray technique. The finishing steps that add longevity and polish to the complete look.
Choose Your Format
Two ways to book your self makeup class in Dubai. One intimate, one made for sharing. Both taught by the same artist with the same attention to your individual face.

Just you, your face, your brief.
A fully private session focused entirely on you. Before you begin, you share what you want to learn, the occasions you are preparing for, and the products you already own. The session is built around that brief. You apply everything yourself while the technique is shown step by step. Product recommendations matched to your skin and budget at the close.

Who This Is For
No experience, no kit, no idea where to start. The self makeup class is built for exactly this. You leave knowing your skin, your tools, and how to apply a look from scratch.
You have a routine but it feels inconsistent. Something never quite lands right. A session tailored to your face uncovers what to change and why, without having to rebuild everything from scratch.
A wedding to attend, an event, a photo shoot, or a special occasion. You want to look a specific way and do it yourself. The session is built around that look.
Mehndi, haldi, engagement, bridal shower. Many brides want to handle their own makeup for pre-wedding functions and have a professional handle the wedding day itself. This class covers exactly that.
