1-on-1 SFX Makeup Coaching: Advanced Wounds, Aging and Character Looks

The tutor demonstrates on their own arm or face under a close-up camera while the teen works alongside. Each session takes one effect further: layering color for depth, building texture, blending edges so they vanish. The tutor reviews photos of the teen's work between sessions and sets a practice piece.

How classes work

Each 55-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.
