Learning how to apply a look is one part of developing as an artist. Understanding the decisions behind it is another.
Suela’s work across private clients, fashion, performance, television and film gives the Academy a professional context. The focus connects makeup application with reading a face, working through a brief and communicating with the person in the chair.
The training route you enquire about should reflect where you are now and what you want to develop next.
If you are starting to explore makeup as a practice, share your experience and ambitions. The Academy can guide you towards an appropriate route and explain any entry requirements.
If you already work with makeup, identify the techniques or situations you would like to improve—whether that is skin finish, the structure of a look or working towards a bridal brief.
These are the themes behind the Academy’s approach. The emphasis and depth can be discussed for the training route you are considering.
Developing control in application, blending and the build-up of a finish.
Reading features, skin appearance and colour relationships before choosing a direction.
Considering texture, brushes and product choices in relation to the result you want.
Preparation, organisation and a considered sequence of work.
Understanding preferences, discussing references and translating a brief into a look.
Considering photography, wear and the balance of a look for different occasions.
Reflecting on completed work and the direction of your own professional practice.
A broader route for developing a makeup practice, from foundations through more advanced application, workflow and client communication. Ask how the current programme is structured around your level.
02 · Refine Your TechniqueEnquiries focused on refining existing technique: structure, skin finish, speed and the choices behind a more resolved look. Share the areas of your practice you would most like to improve.
03 · A Bridal FocusA focused direction for consultation, wear, photography and the relationship between makeup and the overall bridal styling. Enquire about the current format and the experience expected for this training.
04 · Individual FocusPrivate training enquiries centred on specific techniques or professional goals. Explain your current experience and what you would like to work on, so the Academy can discuss the focus with you.

A reference gives you a direction. Understanding the decisions behind it gives you a way to develop.
The aim is to connect the tools and techniques to the choices you make: where attention goes, how colour and texture work together, and how a finish relates to the face wearing it.
That judgement helps you move between different briefs and begin to recognise the strengths of your own work.
Tell the Academy whether you are beginning, already practising or looking to refine a particular skill. Your experience and goals help guide the discussion, including any entry requirements.
