The problem this course starts from

Makeup that looks good in the kit-bag light and wrong at the door: foundation matched on the wrist, eyeshadow blended in a hurry, a face that only suits one skin tone.

Kit before you pay4 items
  • A basic brush set and a palette to learn on
  • A few foundations in different undertones
  • Sanitiser, wipes and disposable applicators
  • A good mirror and daylight or a daylight lamp

You supply the kit yourself: the course does not include any physical kit. The kit-list PDF is yours to keep.

What this course does not do

  • Application, not treatments. It teaches makeup application. It does not cover skin treatments or semi-permanent work.
  • No live tutor. The lessons are recorded. Questions about the content go to the team by chat or email and are answered in working hours.
  • No marking. Nobody reviews your practice work or signs it off.
  • Not a regulated qualification. You receive a certificate of completion from Dalby Online. It is not an Ofqual or RQF qualification.
  • Ask your insurer first. Many insurers want a recognised qualification, a hands-on assessment, or both. Find out what yours accepts before you buy.

What you can do afterwards

You can prep skin, match a foundation, and build an everyday, an evening and a photographic look, working hygienically on a model.
