Learn from a 20-year professional
Makeup Courses & Training with Rachel Shultz
Rachel Shultz has taught makeup professionally for over two decades — including running a certified makeup school in Montreal, and now teaches across Toronto and the GTA. These courses pass that training on: whether you want a recognised certification, the confidence to do a stage face for your daughter, or simply to stop guessing every morning.
Every course is taught one step at a time, in plain language, at your pace. No jargon, no assumed knowledge, no rushing.
Professional training
Certified Artist Program
A flexible certification program built around your interests and goals, rather than a fixed syllabus. Whether you are starting a career in makeup artistry or formalising skills you already have, the program adapts to where you are.
What's included
- Hands-on guidance from a working professional
- Learn at your own pace — no rigid timetable
- Personalised mentorship throughout the program
- Certification on completion
Taught by someone who has run a certified makeup school and worked with clients for 20+ years — so what you learn is what the industry actually uses.
90 minutes | for parents
Dance Moms Makeup Course
Stage makeup is not everyday makeup — it needs to read from a distance, survive hot lights and last through a full competition day. This 90-minute session teaches parents exactly how to do it, without the panic in the dressing room.
What you'll learn
- Product recommendations that work under stage lighting
- Simple, repeatable techniques you can do quickly
- Step-by-step guidance you can follow at home
- How to make it last through performances and competitions
Perfect for recitals, competitions and performances — and for parents who have been handed a makeup bag and told to figure it out.
For groups and teams
Masterclasses & Corporate Workshops
Group Makeup Masterclasses — learn together with friends. A relaxed, social session where everyone works on their own face and leaves with techniques that suit them. Ideal for birthdays, bridal parties and girls' nights.
Corporate Beauty Workshops — sessions built for teams and company events. A polished, professional experience that gives everyone something genuinely useful to take away.
Get in touch with your group size and preferred dates and Rachel will put together the details.
Who are the courses for?
- Aspiring makeup artists who want proper training and a certification
- Dance and pageant parents facing stage makeup for the first time
- Groups of friends who want a fun session that teaches something real
- Companies looking for a polished team experience or event
- Anyone who owns plenty of makeup but was never actually taught how to use it
No experience is assumed. Most people arrive having never had a lesson.
Your instructor
Taught by a professional who has run a makeup school
Rachel Shultz spent more than two decades as a professional makeup artist — owning a cosmetic boutique and running a certified makeup school in Montreal. She now teaches from Toronto, working with clients across the GTA. Teaching is not a sideline for her; it is what she has done for years.
That means courses are structured, paced properly, and built to leave you genuinely capable — not just impressed for an afternoon.
No. Courses are built around your starting point, and most people arrive having never had a formal makeup lesson. The Certified Artist Program suits those going professional, while the shorter courses assume no prior knowledge at all.
There is no fixed length — the program is self-paced and shaped around your goals and availability. You receive personalised mentorship throughout and certification on completion. Get in touch and Rachel will outline a plan for you.
