Trusted by hundreds of beginners across Northern Ireland — from complete novices to those who went on to build a career in makeup
Is This For Me?
Two kinds of people sign up.
Both leave better.
This training was built for anyone starting from the beginning — whether makeup is something you want for yourself, or something you want to do for others.
01
You want to feel more confident in your own makeup
You’ve always wanted to understand what actually suits your face, which products you need, and how to get a finish that lasts. This gives you the foundations, taught simply and clearly.
02
You’re curious about a career in makeup
Maybe you’ve wondered what it would feel like to do makeup professionally. This is the safest place to find out. You’ll get a real feel for how Ellen teaches — and whether the 5-week course is right for you.
03
You’re tired of tutorials that never quite work
You’ve watched videos, tried looks, and it never comes together. That’s not a you problem — tutorials can’t see what you’re doing or correct you. Ellen’s teaching is different. You’ll understand why, not just what.
04
You’re 16 or over, any background, any level
No upper age limit. No experience needed. No kit required. Beginners of all ages join Make Up Pro every intake — and every one of them starts exactly where you are right now.
WHAT’S INSIDE
Five Videos. Five Skills. All Free.
One short video lands in your inbox each morning for five days. Real techniques Ellen teaches on the 5-week course — think of it as your free taster.
DAY
01
The Perfect Base
The concealer-first method that transforms coverage, how to press powder so it actually stays, and the one bronzer placement mistake almost everyone makes.
DAY
02
Brows That Suit Your Face
The comb technique that reveals your natural arch, how to find symmetry using your brush, and filling brows with hairstrokes that look completely real.
DAY
03
Eyes That Actually Work
Where colour really belongs on the lid, the thumb-lift technique for seamless blending, and the flat-brush mascara trick that ends smudging for good.
DAY
04
Lips, Done Properly
Why starting at the centre gives you a more symmetrical line every time, and the brush-first application that gives precision no wand can match.
DAY
05
How to Photograph Your Work
The handheld light trick every artist needs, the consistent angle method for a polished feed, and how to make every upload look professional — even on your phone.
