Yes, all courses cover the cost of the makeup used in training. However, you must have your own set of brushes (beauty blender if needed) alternatively you can also buy these from us at an additional cost. We occasionally run promotion which include a professional set of brushes included in the offer.

The certificate is given on completion of any course, while the diploma is awarded on successful completion of an examination, which only certain courses have. While you can still apply for product discounts and positions with both, a professional portfolio is still required (which we help you start building).

Yes, you are able to apply for professional positions with either our certificate or diploma, however a professional portfolio is still required (which we help you start building).

Not at all! Each course has been carefully designed to suit everybody at any skill level.

No, we provide every student with a model to work with. However, if you would like to bring along your own model, you’re of course more than welcome to, please just let us know up front so that we can organise accordingly.

Unfortunately, this sometimes happens and although we can’t be held responsible for the punctuality or attendance of every model, we certainly will endeavour to find another suitable time to accommodate your practical.

We operate on a first come first serve basis so if you would like to attend a course, please ensure your 50% deposit payment is paid on time. The remaining balance is to be paid on or before commencement of the course.

Friends, family, children or models are not allowed to be present during classes unless they are modeling for a student at the time.

Yes you most certainly can, however we do require the permission and signature of your legal guardian on the application form provided.

Course fees are non-refundable. Should students be unable to attend the course booked for or a specific class within the course, they may attend a course or class at a later stage, subject to availability

Diplomas are awarded to students on successful completion of the final exam. However, not all courses have exams included, which provide certificates of attendance instead.

Students should wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

A makeup handbook, usage of various international makeup brands and materials and individualised attention. Some courses also include a photoshoot with a professional photographer (for example during the exam), and after the course you will be invited to join me at a wedding or photoshoot (depending on availability).

Cotton buds, cotton discs, makeup remover, a professional set of brushes and beauty blender if needed (some of the courses include these, alternatively can be bought from us at an additional fee), a hand-towel for working surface, drinking water for yourself and lastly, a positive attitude!

I operate from my studio, located at 32 Jamieson street, Gardens, but am available for callouts on arrangement (see the price list for more information).

Trial makeup can be done on Wednesday through to Saturday between 10:00am and 17:00pm.

Trial Makeup can be booked through the contact form or directly with me via email at kristina@makeitbright.co.za and will be confirmed after the full amount has been settled upfront.

It is advised that you dress the same colour that you would wear on your wedding day as well as bring the accessories that you would wear. Preferably send me pictures or references that inspire you. Lastly, come without makeup.

After the Trial Makeup, if you decide to book my services for your wedding day, a 50% Deposit for Bridal Makeup will be required as confirmation of booking. The full balance of Bridal Makeup must be paid up front before the big day.

Strictly 3 months notice of cancellation is required, or the full amount will be forfeited.

I charge R150 plus R5 per kilometre if travelling outside of Cape Town CBD.

It is advised that you purchase your own lipstick/gloss and powder from me or elsewhere prior to the Bridal Makeup on your wedding day (so you can touch up!).

Classic Eyelashes is a method where 1 lash extension is glued to 1 natural lash. These are the most natural looking extensions.

It’s advised to fill in every 2 to 3 weeks.

Yes you can, but only from the following day and provided that you use oil-free (water-based) mascara.

• Make sure not to get any water on your eyelashes for the following 12 hours.
• Avoid saunas and swimming pools
• Do not rub your eyes
• Makeup remover must be oil-free, or this will weaken the glue
• Where possible, try and minimise contact with any surfaces on your eyelashes (e.g. sleeping on your back is preferable)

Yes! I use professional products (purchased from www.voguelashes.co.za), and follow a strict application and hygienic process. During application, I treat your natural eyelashes as if they were my own. It’s also quite a relaxing process – most clients fall asleep.

Individually, a full set takes up to 3 hours to apply where fillings take between 1 and 2 hours.
