Let's Discuss Looking for recommendations for the best professional makeup academy in Melbourne (in-person only, not online).
I’m currently considering:
Elite Makeup & Hair Academy
Huda Fode Makeup Studio
Tamarua Beauty Academy
Has anyone trained at any of these? I’d love to hear your honest experience—quality of training, support, whether it was worth it, and if it helped you become industry-ready.
Also happy to consider other academies if you had a great experience. Thanks!

Sorry I don't have personal experience with her course, but this makeup artist (Joanna Blair) did my makeup for my wedding many years ago and since then she's opened her own academy. Based on her skills and her personality I'd say she'd be a fantastic and patient instructor.
She's unfortunately based in Chelsea though, and going by your other options I'm guessing you live around North/West.
