Makeup Masterclass Workshop

The Art of Facial Transformation: Feminising & Masculinising with Make-Up Make-up has the power to completely transform how we read a face. In this exciting and insightful masterclass at Brighton Fringe, we’ll explore the techniques behind feminising and masculinising facial features using contour, highlight, shading, brow design and structural illusion. Through live demonstration and clear, practical guidance, you’ll learn how subtle placement and tonal shifts can soften, sharpen, sculpt or redefine facial structure. We’ll break down how make-up influences perception, expression and gender presentation. Whether for performance, drag, theatre, photography or personal exploration. This session is open to performers, creatives, make-up artists and anyone curious about the artistry of transformation. Expect expert tips, real-time transformation and plenty of “how did that just happen?” moments, plus a Q&A at the end where you can ask your questions and dive deeper into the craft.
