Advanced Makeup & Bridal Techniques
1-on-1 Makeup Master Class with Houda Hourani
This is a private, full-day, one-on-one makeup master class designed for artists who already have a foundation and want to elevate their work through refinement, precision, and intentional technique.
This is not a group class and it is not a surface-level demonstration. The focus is on how you actually work, where small adjustments make the biggest difference, and how to create results that are consistent, polished, and photograph beautifully.
With over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Houda works closely with each artist to identify strengths, correct inefficiencies, and refine technique in a way that aligns with your personal style and career goals.
The class takes place at Houda’s private home studio in Livonia and is fully customized to you.
What to Expect
Personalized 1-on-1 Training
You will work through three makeup looks of your choice. Houda observes your technique in real time and provides direct guidance on skin prep, product choice, application, pressure, layering, balance, and finish.
Refinement, Not Replication
Rather than copying looks, the focus is on understanding why certain techniques elevate a face and how to apply that knowledge consistently across different clients.
Hands-On Application with Live Feedback
After each demonstration, you will recreate the look under Houda’s supervision, receiving immediate correction and insight to strengthen your execution and decision-making.
