Who this course is for
THIS COURSE IF FOR YOU IF:
You love artistic makeup but feel lost when creating your own looks
You can reproduce a design, but struggle to build one from scratch
You want stronger structure, cleaner placement, and more intentional makeup
You’re a beginner or a makeup artist who wants solid artistic foundations
THIS COURSE IF NOT FOR YOU IF:
You only want quick hacks or trend-based tutorials
You are not interested in technique, structure, or creative process
You want inspiration only, without learning how to build a design
The face is not a canvas.
It’s a structure.
Artistic makeup is not just about adding color.
The face has depth, balance, volume, shadows, and highlights.
When you learn to read the face first, your makeup becomes clearer, stronger, and more intentional.
This is where technique becomes art

Read different face structures and adapt your makeup accordingly
Sculpt facial volumes with more precision
Control color and blending for stronger visual impact
Develop ideas into moodboards, face charts, and finished designs
Build complete artistic characters with more clarity and confidence
Meet your instructor
Hi! I'm Emilie!
I’m a professional artistic makeup artist and educator with 18+ years of experience in the beauty and creative industries.
I was trained at the Make Up For Ever Academy in Nice, where I later became an instructor.
Over nearly a decade of teaching, I had the opportunity to train hundreds of students in artistic makeup and professional techniques.
My work has been featured at major events such as the Cannes Film Festival, the Nice Carnival, and international showcases like IMATS New York, as well as collaborations with brands including NYX Professional Makeup and Garnier.
But beyond the events and collaborations, teaching has always been at the heart of what I do.
My philosophy is simple: artistic skill isn’t something you’re born with: it’s something you build.
Through structure, method, and practice, anyone can learn to understand the face, master technique, and develop their own artistic voice.
This course brings together everything I’ve learned as both an artist and educator, to guide you step by step from understanding facial structure to creating your own artistic characters.

I had Emilie as a teacher at Make Up For Ever Academy, and honestly I couldn’t have hoped for better!
She explains things with clear words, shows each movement in detail, and really knows what she’s talking about. She supports you until you get the movement right.
She gives great advice, is kind, but also very warm and friendly ☺️
I recommend her 1000%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Artistic Makeup Foundations is designed for:
• Beginners who want to build strong foundations in artistic makeup
• Makeup artists who want to explore the artistic side of makeup
• Content creators who want to create more impactful artistic looks
• Artists who feel creatively inspired but technically stuck
The course is structured step by step, so you can progress even if you’re new to artistic makeup, while still developing advanced creative skills.
It focuses on understanding facial structure, mastering color and blending, and learning how to design your own artistic characters.
This course may not be the right fit if you are looking for:
• A course specifically focused on children’s face painting designs
• Quick decorative looks without learning facial structure
• A program that requires little practice
Artistic Makeup Foundations is built around understanding the face, practicing technique and gradually developing your own artistic creations.
No. While the course includes artistic face painting techniques, its purpose goes much further than creating decorative designs.
Artistic Makeup Foundations teaches you how to understand facial structure, control color and blending, and design expressive characters.
The techniques you learn can also strengthen your skills in other creative fields such as beauty makeup, editorial work, body painting, children’s face painting, special effects, drawing, and other visual arts.
The goal is not just to teach looks, but to help you understand how to construct and design makeup artistically.
No. You can start with a basic makeup kit.
Throughout the course, I explain how different artistic products work and how to use them correctly, so you can choose the tools that fit your budget and your creative goals.
As you progress, you may decide to expand your kit, but you don’t need a large professional setup to begin learning the techniques.
The course includes over 7 hours of video training, divided into short lessons that you can follow at your own pace.
Some students like to move quickly and complete the program within a week or two, while others take more time so they can practice the techniques between lessons.
Because artistic makeup develops through experimentation and repetition, you are encouraged to take your time and explore the process.
You receive immediate access to the full course as soon as your purchase is completed.
Payments can be made securely by credit card, debit card, or PayPal.
The checkout system automatically converts your local currency into USD at the current exchange rate.
That’s completely fine.
The course is designed to be clear and easy to follow, with step-by-step demonstrations that you can watch and replay as many times as you need.
Because artistic makeup is a highly visual discipline, many techniques can be understood directly through the demonstrations.
The course also includes English subtitles, which can make it easier to follow along even if English isn’t your first language.
Once you enroll, you receive lifetime access to the course. You can revisit the lessons whenever you want.
Yes. Once you complete the course, you can receive a Certificate of Completion.
