At Joanna’s school you will be taught proven professional methods, techniques and wisdom. Her aim is to teach you from the ground up, to give you the best chance of success with all the knowledge, technical skill, products, tools and support to help you on your way.  The products used in class are sourced from all over and are used everyday by the top professionals in the industry.

You are not restricted to learning with just one brand of makeup, you will be learning with the same products that are used backstage and on sets the world over. Discover from day one what the best products are, rather than trying to navigate through the marketing hype of many cosmetics companies. This alone will save you hundreds of dollars when it comes to building up your kit, as you will have first hand experience of what products are great and how best to utilize them to achieve the look you’re after.

Class size is kept to a minimum to ensure maximum learning opportunity and grasping of concepts and techniques.

  • All equipment, brushes and products are supplied in class, the only requirement you need to bring is yourself

  • You do not need any sort of artistic background as a pre-requisite to becoming a successful makeup artist, just a willingness to learn and to practice

  • Learn in a relaxed and fun environment
