  • 5/5 from Kati Murphy, attended Jun 2026: We had a wonderful time! We learnt alot and we liked that our teacher showed us how to apply the make up and then we did it ourselves. It really helped to learn how to apply everything! I would definitely recommend to do this if you would like to learn more about make up application. Learning more about make up application may also save money at the shops as I now know more of what suits and works for me. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Ciara Finnegan, attended May 2026: Excellent experience, tailored to learning more about what I wanted to focus on and helped me feel more confident in applying what I learned when doing my makeup myself.
  • 5/5 from Kayt Watts, attended Apr 2026: I had such a great time at this makeup workshop for beginners! I learnt so much and walked away feeling a lot more confident in my skills. Everything was explained in a way that was super easy to understand, which made the whole experience really enjoyable. Alessandra was an amazing instructor—so helpful and supportive, giving tips that actually made a difference and helped me improve. I’m really glad I went and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to level up their makeup skills!
  • 5/5 from Sarah, attended Jan 2026: Amazing! I had next to no knowledge going in and was never made to feel bad or left behind my friends who had more experience. Good fun group activity for all levels of experience.
  • 5/5 from Kate Moore, attended Sep 2025: Alessandra is an amazing teacher. She took the time to find out what I wanted from the session and was so kind and informative when she answered all my questions. I would recommend this session to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Jacqui Crafter, attended Jun 2025: Alessandra was so easy to work with and always made me feel comfortable even though doing anything with make up was out of my comfort zone. As a 50 something woman who grew up in the country with no real influence in the area of make-up, I can highly recommend this workshop to easily take you from no clue, to understanding with confidence. Thank you Alessandra :-)
  • 5/5 from Kathy Heinrich, attended May 2025: I really enjoyed this class, I loved the one in one experience. I also loved that I it was hands ilon with me doing 1/2 my face. I learnt more about contouring and also eyeshadow.
  • 5/5 from Georgina Biglands, attended Apr 2025: Alessandra was great! Very helpful, made us feel relaxed and helped us to realise that some techniques are not so overwhelming if done step by step. We learnt a lot and feel more confident to do our make up now. We will definitely recommend to others and might do another course in the future.
  • 5/5 from Kayla Gray, attended Jan 2025: Alessandra was really nice, helpful and explained things that I felt probably not the normal. Alessandra was very accommodating with my needs and happy to answer my many questions. Would highly recommend this course or any courses Alessandra runs.
  • 5/5 from Stacie Ellinger, attended Jan 2025: We came to the class with 2 clueless mothers and their slightly more educated teens. Alessandra worked really hard to listen to what we were looking for and what we already knew and then showed us individual techniques for each of our skin types and colours. We all left feeling more confident and looking great.
  • 5/5 from Heather Kochergen, attended Sep 2024: The class was exactly what I was looking for. The advice was spot on - highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Rachel Wilkin, attended Aug 2024: Very welcoming and lovely teacher. Thank you for your time My daughter and I had a great time and learnt a lot
  • 5/5 from Leanne Ross, attended Aug 2024: We booked our daughter and her 3 friends in for her 13th birthday. They all absolutely loved it, learned heaps and looked amazing after. The class was held in a professional home studio so they felt like they were very grown up. Alessandra did a wonderful job tailoring to their age group and the high tea and nibbles rounded off a fantastic afternoon.
  • 5/5 from Megan Kim Marlow, attended May 2024: What a special Mother’s Day for my daughter and I, doing a make-up workshop together. My daughter is 11 and she absolutely loved learning techniques of how to apply makeup. Alessandra is so fun and easy to talk to, which made our experience so much fun. Loved that she shares her knowledge and teaches you throughout the session, she has the patience of a Saint :-) she even wrote down step by step on how to apply my makeup, wrote down what I needed and what shades too. I am super impressed and I would highly recommend her over & over again. My daughter said that you had the best biscuits ever! We walked out looking like models and feeling fabulous
  • 5/5 from David Stotter, attended May 2024: I bought this tutorial as a gift for my 63yo wife. She has never been a big wearer of make up but wanted to start including a little in her daily routine. She was never totally happy though...her heyday was some time ago and she felt her style was somewhat dated. I wanted her to be confident in her choices and thought this tutorial would help, so I booked a solo session. She could not have been more pleased with the tutorial, and with Alessandra's warm and friendly way of imparting her knowledge. My wife wanted to create a 'less is more' look, and Alessandra zeroed in on that desire and catered to it. I don't hesitate in recommending Alessandra
  • 5/5 from Glenda Cashman, attended Feb 2024: Teacher was lovely and very informative. We were shown how to apply makeup correctly and what the best products to use on our face We both thought that we looked better at the end!
  • 5/5 from Alessandra Raudino, attended Jan 2024: Alessandra was very nice and professional. She provided materials and new ideas. I bought this class to enhance the confidence of my teenager daughter, and she was very happy about the individual class.
  • 5/5 from Karen Butterfield, attended Dec 2023: Was a wonderful class and Alessandra answered all our questions and provided this and tricks we can use. Went into the class knowing nothing about make up and Alessandra explained contouring, getting the best effects for each of our skins, eyes, working with colour etc. had a great time
  • 5/5 from Andy Thelander, attended Nov 2023: Alessandra was awesome! I have never felt confident with my makeup application and felt overwhelmed by the choices available, at department stores. It was so wonderful to have a dedicated, talented make up artist- ALL TO MYSELF She patiently showed me techniques, tones, textures and techniques all specific to my skin, age and face. I would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Verity Braithwaite, attended Oct 2023: Alessandra was so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful & patient. She gave me great tips & advice. I'm more confident after spending the time with Alessandra
  • 5/5 from Simone Stratford, attended Sep 2023: Alessandro was great and very patient with me learnt alot of this lesson and lots to take away appreciate your time today go ahead and book a lesson you won't be disappointed
  • 5/5 from Tina Hart, attended Jul 2023: I purchased this 1:1 lesson for my daughter’s 11th birthday. Alessandra was extremely patient and good natured with my daughter and explained things easily so she could understand the whys and hows. As a mother, I appreciated her being taught how to use makeup without it being too old for her age but classy enough to make her feel good. It was also good that she explained all procedures before and after makeup application too.
  • 5/5 from Anjan Bhattal, attended Jul 2023: Alessandra was very accommodating. She helped me with all my queries and made me practise techniques which I wasn’t confident about. She’s v knowledgable and knows exactly what she doing. Absolutely loved my class with her. Highly recommend to everyone:)

As an Italian makeup artist and brows lashes therapist, I always had a passion for fashion, beauty, fitness and painting.
From a young age I had the privilege to work for a model agency in Milan and be an assistant makeup artist for fashion events.
Once in Australia, I worked with an hairdresser in Sydney as well as with an Australian beauty and hair company.
After two years having my daughter, I decided it was time to pursue a career who makes me feel satisfied and challenged running my own business. I host photoshoot, stage, bridal, special occasion workshops.
Makeup is not a mask, it's a fun art that we can use to enhance our natural features, accepting and feeling confident and empowered.
I love teaching other women how to achieve this on themselves. You will learn more about your skin type, your eye shape, the right products specifically for you and how to apply makeup in the right way and with the right tools.
My workshops are great for:
  • Personal education
  • Any age, from teenagers to mature
  • Group events such as birthday and hens parties
My group workshops include a choice of bubble glass or tea, fruit platter and nibbles, music and all the tools needed to have a fun experience and get glammed up to continue your night somewhere else!
