What you will learn
This is the course creative students come to Maison Belle for. Across four months of evening and weekend classes you build from the ground up: reading a face and skin type, prepping and priming so makeup survives a humid Singapore day, matching foundation for every undertone, and shaping a look that photographs well under both daylight and event lighting.
You spend most of your time with a brush in your hand, working on live models module by module — natural day looks, soft glam, bold editorial, and a full bridal trial — so that by graduation you have handled every kind of brief a paying client throws at you. Classes are capped so every student is corrected, not crowded.
You finish with a graded portfolio shoot, a road-tested kit list, and an honest conversation about where the work actually is: bridal weekends, content shoots, retail counters, and the studios that hire our graduates. The diploma opens the door; your portfolio and attitude get you the booking, and we say so plainly.
