Free online courseMakeup handbook

Course Description

Feel confident doing makeup that looks smooth, balanced and like you meant it. This free online course is designed to help you build real technique, not just copy a look. You will learn how to prep skin properly, correct redness and under-eye darkness, and choose products and application methods that suit your tone, texture and finish goals. The focus is on decisions that make a visible difference: what to do before foundation, how to avoid heavy coverage, and how to create a base that lasts and still looks like skin.

As you progress, you will understand the purpose of color correction, when to use it, and how to keep it from showing through. You will also learn how different foundation types behave and why the right tools matter, especially if you want fuller coverage or a more natural result. Instead of guessing, you will start matching technique to skin needs, whether you prefer a soft glow, a polished matte look, or something in between.

Face makeup becomes easier when you can see structure. This course guides you through the difference between highlighting and highlighter, and between bronzing and contouring, so your placement supports your features rather than overpowering them. You will learn to identify your face shape category and apply blush, contour and highlight with simple rules that work across many variations. The goal is a lifted, harmonious finish that reads well in daylight, on camera, and in real life.

To complete the look, you will practice everyday essentials like brows, eyeliner and lashes. You will understand how to add texture and hold to eyebrows without stiffness, how to apply false lashes as a beginner, and how to adjust eyeliner to flatter close-set eyes. Finally, you will refine the details that pull everything together, including avoiding common lipstick and blush mistakes so colors look intentional and fresh. With short videos and quick knowledge checks, you can learn at your own pace and leave with skills you can use for personal looks or professional beauty goals.
