Recent reviews of Makeup Workshop

  • 5/5 from Marnie Gibson, attended Sep 2026: This course was exactly what we wanted. Justine and Akansha were excellent, we learnt so much, and how to use our own makeup - I would highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Sharne Quinn, attended Aug 2026: A great workshop. Justine really worked with each person to discuss techniques that suited each person, it was definitely not a one size fits all course. She also worked with the makeup we already had and how to use it best. Having learnt a lot of the basics in this workshop, I'd love to do a 'next steps' course with her to learn even more techniques.
  • 5/5 from Nancy Zhang, attended Aug 2026: Justin is very helpful and friendly
  • 5/5 from Lauren Giampetrone, attended Jun 2026: I did this make up course yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had Justine as the main facilitator and Akansha which also helped facilitate the start of the class. We learned everything from skin care, to how to choose the right foundation colour and applying make up. The only disappointing part for me was the evening look part of the class felt rushed. I really wanted to learn more about contouring and eye shadow application but we were running out of time. I would say time management lacked yesterday. Other than that I had a great time with the group and the banter was great. I do recommend booking this course if you are interested.
  • 5/5 from Kelly Michelle Pepper, attended Aug 2025: I loved this class, teacher was great, shared all of her knowledge and there were plenty of tips n tricks. The class was small so we all had time to ask questions. I'm interested in the hair styling class now!
  • 5/5 from Nancy McGlashan, attended Aug 2025: I enjoyed spending the time at the workshop. Nancy
  • 5/5 from Purnima Jain, attended Aug 2025: Wonderful teacher, well explained, lots of information given to us. Would highly recommend any one looking to learn make up skills.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Munusamy, attended Jul 2025: Extremely talented, friendly, knowledgeable. Thoroughly appreciated the session with valuable tips she shared. Surely will shared with colleagues to attend her classes.
  • 5/5 from Helen Anagnostou, attended May 2025: It’s was a great class and loved the fact you didn’t get told to buy expensive product. Very hands on and learnt the right way to apply makeup.
  • 5/5 from Wendy Alweyn, attended May 2025: Shazra held a wonderful workshop. It was small and tailored to each of our needs. She had a complete beginner in me but made me feel comfortable and confident. I will definitely use the skills she taught me.
  • 5/5 from Harmandeep Kaur, attended Apr 2025: I had a amazing experience and learned a lot during my session. Shazra you are amazing!!
  • 5/5 from Nikita Varma, attended Dec 2024: Really enjoyed this class! Justine was incredible. She was so detailed and thorough. I really learnt a lot. Loved that we have a practical component to it as she spoke to us and walked us through it. It was great to see her do the make up on her own face first, and then letting us try it on our own faces. Also loved how we did both day time and night time make up. The actual gift card claiming was easy. It was just the available dates that I found to be difficult, but that's just normal life availability, nothing to do with ClassBento or Dash Finishing School. Would highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Ramona Thambiratnam, attended Dec 2024: Thank you to Justine for a fabulous workshop last Saturday. She was generous with her time and advice, is clearly very experienced and created a warm and friendly atmosphere. I've left the workshop with some fantastic tips and advice. Thank you so much Justine.
  • 5/5 from Colleen Whittaker, attended Nov 2024: A great class! Justin was very friendly and very knowledgeable and we got heaps of tips and tricks. It was very informative and I learned a lot. I would recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Swati Kumari, attended Jun 2024: Was an amazing class. Learnt a lot about the skin care, products to use, make up, basics and day and night makeup looks. Recommend to all. It's very beneficial..
  • 5/5 from Erin Sivaraj, attended Jun 2024: Booked in to the make up workshop with Shazra, and has such a great time! Shazra was warm, informative, supportive and encouraging....exactly what I needed to feel confident in giving this a go. I left feeling like I'd learnt so much, none of it daunting which means I can easily replicated at home. The tips on skin care were the best for me, and her guidance on brands was very useful. Would 100% recommend this workshop based on Shazra alone, and it was well worth t for the laughs!!!
  • 5/5 from Steph Koinakis, attended May 2024: Class was great! Learnt heaps of the foundational things using things we already owned, and advice and recommendations about products that are useful to have (of all different price ranges). The teacher was nice and tailored the class to suit each individual person :)
  • 3/5 from Beth Kirkwood, attended Apr 2024: Shazra was lovely and I picked up some useful tips and tricks from this class. However, it was quite different to what I expected. We were told to bring our own makeup, but I didn’t expect that this would really be the only makeup we would have available to use in the course. Some very basic makeup was available if you didn’t have any (Eg one eyeshadow pallet) but in very limited colours/shades. There was very little discussion about face shape or skin tone, which I had thought would be covered. While some techniques were covered in detail, others were not covered (eg we learnt to use a brush to apply lip liner but not how to apply it, and we learnt 2 eyeshadow techniques but the third was drawn on paper only and not demonstrated on an eye). Overall, suitable course for beginners seeking foundational knowledge, but anyone with prior makeup experience or knowledge may find this course too basic.
  • 5/5 from Heather Gaye Rota, attended Mar 2024: The makeup class was excellent, informative and lots of tips and fun. Justine the teacher had a lovely manner and it was clear that she has a passion for makeup making the flow of the workshop easy to understand, being attentive to the individual skill level of each student thus facilitating us to apply makeup confidently and creatively. Thankyou. I highly recommend the class.
  • 5/5 from Celine Hosea, attended Feb 2024: the teacher was great I just wished the class was more advanced, but that's personal.
  • 5/5 from Marissa Andrews, attended Feb 2024: I thoroughly enjoyed learning new trick for putting on makeup that looks great for both day and evening events!
  • 5/5 from Laura Bucci, attended Jan 2024: Justine was such a fantastic teacher! Very thorough and knowledgable, I learned so much and feel so much better about my skills. I really enjoyed the class and would definitely recommend Justine :)
  • 5/5 from Abby Gunarso, attended Jan 2024: Love the class. Justine was very friendly and taught well. I especially love her philosophy on simplicity and less is more. I’d recommend this class to anyone who is interested in makeup!
  • 5/5 from Desley Pinsent, attended Dec 2023: Such an informative and hands-on class. Justine was very knowledgeable and natural born teacher. Venue and tools were clean and I highly recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Lorraine McLennan, attended Sep 2023: I really enjoyed the makeup class and learnt so much from Shazra. She shared many useful tips on skin care and makeup application to use everyday. We applied our own makeup under the guidance of Shazra and I was amazed at the end result. Thank you so much Shazra.
  • 5/5 from Julia Panter, attended Sep 2023: I had so much fun taking this class. Our teacher was fabulous and extremely helpful. Definitely got what I wanted out of this course and would recommend to others!
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Fay, attended Aug 2023: I learnt a lot from our teacher Shaz! Loved the light space we worked in, the class was relaxed, fun and small so plenty of time with our tutor. So many simple tips that will help care for my skin and develop an easy routine on makeup application. Price was reasonable for the tuition. Lots of laughs
  • 5/5 from Eve Hally, attended Jul 2023: Amazing class, I learnt so much and actually use the skills I learnt. Would defiantly recommend to others wanting to master the art of make up! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Caroline Fieldus, attended Jun 2023: Shazra was a very good teacher who patiently assisted all of the class participants (small class of only six people, which was great) and gave us all a good understanding of techniques. We learned some great everyday techniques as well as "glam" eyeshadow techniques, so was a good balance. Finally, the set up was great with brushes supplied and a few snacks to have throughout the class. Thanks Shazra!
  • 5/5 from Suk Lo, attended May 2023: She was absolutely amazing and very patient! Recommended for every beginner for the basics on how to put makeup with every step!
  • 5/5 from Neha Madaan, attended Mar 2023: Good experience Teacher was really good and helpful I learned a lot of new things
  • 5/5 from Elisa Basile, attended Feb 2023: This was a fantastic course, Justine was very knowledgeable and explained all techniques extremely well. I learned so many new skills and I’ll be able to use these on a daily basis.
  • 5/5 from Ally Chapin-Tatnell, attended Dec 2022: She was fantastic and helpful as well I highly recommend her she helped me a lot
  • 5/5 from Susie Stokol, attended Dec 2022: Small, hands on class was fun and informative as the instructor was knowledgeable and engaging. Lovely venue too.

  • 3/5 from Aliya Affari, attended Nov 2022: good for beginners but i already knew the basics. The teacher was good and friendly but i wish there was alot more new makeup to use from to see difference with my regular makeup :)
  • 5/5 from Felicity, attended Sep 2022: A thoroughly enjoyable class made up of women from mixed ages and cultures. A safe space to explore make up and a beautiful shared experience of empowerment and confidence boosting from all attendees. Shazra, the tutor was very attentive and answered our many questions with patience and easy to understand instructions. Venue was great with plenty of free weekend street parking. Tea, coffee and water available and biscuits. You might want to take some fruit or something to nibble on. I feel confident to try out what l learned at home.
  • 5/5 from Eva Hayes, attended Sep 2022: It was such a fun and very informative class. Learnt so much about skin care, beauty products, brushes and techniques.
  • 5/5 from Freda Grajzman, attended Sep 2022: Everything was just perfect! Venue great beautiful group of people and teacher was so knowledgeable and a delightful!
  • 4/5 from Cathy Rose, attended Jul 2022: The teacher was professional, knowledgeable, and spoke well. The venue was good, the space was nice, the parking availability was excellent. The makeup brushes provided were excellent. The printed materials were good, too. We learnt about contouring with powder, Day/Night makeup, tips & techniques, and resources. Great to see the transformations of the other participants and get some confidence about trying new styles of makeup!
  • 5/5 from Anna Xia, attended Jun 2022: Shaz was very personable and knowledgeable and let us try all the expensive make up products she brought with her. She correctly matched the colour of foundation for our complexions and had a lot of recommendations on which products work. We learnt how to do smoky eyes and glamour eyes which was not suitable for smaller eyes we learnt. I had a good time.
  • 4/5 from Christel Hendriks, attended May 2022: The teacher was very knowledgeable and able to help us with a basic day look and how to up that to a night look. I walked away with much greater confidence in how to do an easy but elegant look and smoky eye. The venue was comfortable and I loved that we were shown how to use our own products with no sales pitch at the end. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Connie Boglis, attended Nov 2021: Fun and interactive class, great group of woman, and our teacher was so warm and welcoming. Highly recommended!
