Makeup Courses: a customer and a provider in a bright, modern setting

Makeup lessons in Singapore fall into two broad camps: career programmes that train people to work as artists, and personal classes that teach you to do your own face. This list covers both, drawn from the schools and studios that publish their classes on their own sites. Each entry sticks to what the provider says it teaches, how its sessions run and who it suits, and we leave out fees because they change. Decide first whether you want a trade or a skill for yourself, compare syllabuses and class sizes, then ask for current dates before booking. If you would rather hire an artist than learn, see our guide to makeup artists.

1. Autelier Pro

Autelier Pro describes itself as the academic arm of Autelier Makeup, the bridal and events team, and its courses page lists four routes: a professional makeup and hair programme, a mentorship for working artists, corporate grooming and a personal makeup class. The professional programme is presented as a 77-hour core split between online learning and hands-on practice, taught in classes of six to eight students with a main and an assistant trainer. Topics named include professional ethics, the bridal industry, makeup competency and hairstyling competency, with possible on-the-job training alongside the Autelier team. It suits anyone weighing makeup as a career or side income, while the personal class is the lighter option. Ask for current intake dates and the syllabus before committing.

2. Beauty Without Filter Academy

Beauty Without Filter is a makeup artist team that also runs an academy with separate tracks for aspiring professionals and for everyday wearers. Its professional programme is aimed at beginners building foundations and working artists refining their craft, and the site says the course covers skincare basics, colour theory and two eye techniques, Korean soft eyes and Thai glam eyes. Students practise on models, and the site mentions a marketing module and a one-time job-shadowing opportunity. The personal classes, listed for beginner and intermediate levels, use colour analysis to choose shades and include demonstration, hands-on practice and styling for everyday or event looks. The founder is described on its pages as an ACTA-certified trainer, and the academy also takes corporate workshop enquiries.

3. Dear Muse Makeup & Hairstyling

Dear Muse is a bridal makeup studio near Clarke Quay that runs a personal makeup class page for people who want better everyday skills. The class is described as suitable for beginners and for those refining their routine, and it is tailored to your features, style and skill level. Its stated syllabus covers choosing foundation, concealer and skincare for your skin type, simple day and night eye looks, essential products and brushes, base blending, and contouring, blush and lip placement for your face shape. Sessions are hands-on, with you practising on yourself with feedback. The page lists a private one-to-one format and a small group format for friends taking turns. A corporate class option also appears in its menu. Check current availability.

4. Joyce Yeo Makeup

Joyce Yeo Makeup is better known for bridal and corporate work, but its classes page offers private lessons built around natural makeup and personal colour. The personal makeup class is pitched at people whose usual routine no longer seems to suit maturing skin or changing features, and the site says it covers a long-lasting base, eye makeup for changing eyelids, and choosing blush and lipstick shades. Students are invited to bring their own products for a makeup bag audit, so the lesson works with what you own. A second option combines a colour analysis with the makeup lesson in one longer session. The one-to-one format suits adults wanting unhurried, personalised coaching rather than a group course. Confirm session lengths first.

5. Gayathri Menon Makeovers

Gayathri Menon is a makeup and styling artist whose services page lists a range of one-to-one workshops alongside bridal bookings. The makeup workshop is described as intensive and beginner friendly, with face charts provided and all materials supplied, and its stated contents include a quick daily routine, skincare, foundation, contouring, highlighting, day eyes, smokey evening eyes, blusher and lips. Other workshops on the same page cover hairstyling, saree draping and a teen grooming session, and an online one-to-one format is listed for learners who prefer to join remotely. A workshop gift voucher is also mentioned. The site describes a home studio, so this is a small personal option rather than a school. Ask about current availability.

6. OHRAE Studio

OHRAE Studio is a Korean-style personal colour and image studio near Pearl's Hill, and its services page includes a Signature Korean Natural Makeup Class. The class is described as personalised to your colours and facial features, and the listed topics include K-beauty trends for daily makeup, face shape analysis, lightweight natural-looking foundation, eyeshadow and blush chosen for your colours, K-style eyebrow shaping, contouring, highlighting and lip colour selection. The studio says students get hands-on access to a range of K-beauty brands, and the class can be booked as a single, duo or trio session. It also teaches a professional colour analysis course through its Pro Academy. Pick it if you like the soft Korean look and want your palette worked out first.

7. Colour Ultimate Studio

Colour Ultimate Studio is primarily a colour analysis and styling studio at an Orchard hotel address, so its makeup teaching is narrower than the schools above. Its services page lists a group colour analysis and makeup workshop, described as a three-hour interactive session for up to six participants with a stated minimum of four to start. The workshop covers a colour analysis for each person with personalised advice, followed by a hands-on makeup segment focused on techniques suited to your own palette. Built for friends, colleagues or small events, it suits a social introduction to makeup rather than a long course. Individual packages on the same page offer makeup advice without hands-on application, so read each description before booking.

How to choose

Decide whether you want a career or a personal skill. Professional programmes describe longer syllabuses, bridal and hair modules, and portfolio building, while personal classes focus on your own face. Choosing the wrong format is the most common mismatch, so ask which track fits your goal and how many hours each involves.
Check class size and format. Several providers here teach one to one or in small groups, and one lists a six to eight student class with a main and assistant trainer. Ask how much hands-on time you get, whether you practise on yourself or models, and how feedback is given.
Ask for the syllabus in writing. A good course page names the topics, such as base, eyes, brows, colour theory or hair, and the techniques taught. Compare those lists against what you want to master, and ask whether bridal, Korean, glam or everyday looks are included.
Treat certification wording carefully. Where a provider says its trainer holds a qualification, that is the provider's own statement, so ask which body issued it, what it covers and whether your own certificate is recognised anywhere. Do not assume a certificate leads to paid work.
Confirm practical details before paying. Ask for the current schedule, venue, what products are supplied, what you should bring, and the cancellation and rescheduling terms. Some sites show past classes as ended, so check that the session you want is open and that fees are quoted in writing.
