Day 1: how to build and elaborate your portfolio workshop and creative fashion week looks
We kick off on day 1with two essential pillars of a successful makeup career: building and elevating your portfolio and mastering creative Fashion Week looks.
In this workshop, Florence Teerlinck shares her industry expertise on curating a compelling portfolio that showcases your artistry, versatility, and unique vision. Learn how to select, refine, and present your work to attract top clients and agencies.
In the second session, dive into the fast-paced world of Fashion Week makeup. From bold editorial concepts to refined backstage techniques, discover how to translate creative briefs into runway-ready looks while working under real industry conditions.
Day 2: bold looks and character model building with Martina derosa
Step into the world of Martina DeRosa, London-based artist and 1st assistant to the iconic Daniel S. Known for her bold, dark aesthetics and transformative character-building, Martina plays with lenses, bleached brows, and persona creation—completely shifting a model into their own universe.
In this workshop, she takes you deep into the art of bold expression and character development. Push boundaries, experiment with unconventional techniques, and create looks that tell a story. It’s about more than just makeup—it’s about world-building.
Day 3: visual language with makeup
Step into the world of Marie Bruce, a London-based artist known for her painterly approach to makeup. Blurring the lines between beauty and fine art, she transforms faces into canvases, using bold, lively colors and rich textures to create entire universes.
In this workshop, Marie pushes you to develop your own visual language in makeup artistry. Explore color, texture, and form in new ways, experiment fearlessly, and embrace makeup as a true artistic medium.
Break the rules and paint outside the lines—step into the day with Marie and create beyond beauty.
we want to offer an intimate setting that’s why we only take on 12 participants
