Make-up isn’t just about looking good - it’s about feeling good. Whether you're trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming or exploring your gender expression, this session is all about helping you feel seen, confident, and completely yourself.

In this 2 hour session with a pro artist in our private studio, we’ll work with you 1-1 to create looks that affirm who you are - from everyday glam, soft natural, masc, fem, or anything in between.

New to make-up artistry? Check out our beginner friendly Media Make-up workshops.

TOPICS:

  • Prepping the canvas - skincare tailored to your face

  • Introduction - to makeup products and tools you can use everyday. How to shop with confidence for products if you are unsure, and finding out what the professionals use.

  • Feminine - learn how to feminize your face

  • Masculine - learn how to masculinize your face (contour, hide flaws, ‘no make-up’ look)

  • Androgynous - learn how to achieve a blend of fem/masc. looks

  • Practise - various make-up techniques (brow shaping, lash extensions, colour correction)

  • Develop - your own style with make-up that echo’s your personality and vibe!

  • Design and create - your own look - for every day or your best night out

For years I was too scared to try make-up cause I thought it wouldn’t suit me. But after training with Amanda, I finally have the confidence to express myself: masc, fem & anything in between!
