JDO VISION
Observe.Understand. Create.
That is the foundation of the JDO Method. Not simply recreating a look, but learning to think like a Make-up Artist.
Not only mastering technique, but developing an instinct for shape, balance and beauty.
Because make-up is not only about products.
It is about vision, creativity and developing your own signature as an artist.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
The JDO Make-up Artist Class is designed for anyone who wants to
seriously grow. Whether you are at the beginning of your career or already have experience.
This program is perfect for:
Beginners with a passion for make-up
You dream of becoming a Make-up Artist and want to learn the profession in a professional way, with a strong technical foundation.
Beauty lovers who want to deepen their skills
You already have some experience with make-up but want to develop
more knowledge, structure and insight into techniques, facial analysis
and product use.

THE MAKE-UP
ARTIST METHOD
Do you want to become a Make-up Artist? Or take your skills as an experienced Make-up Artist to the next level?
At JDO Academy, we believe that becoming a Make-up Artist goes far
beyond simply learning how to apply make-up. It is about learning how
to observe, analyse and create developing a professional eye for
beauty, balance and detail.
The JDO Make-up Artist Method is developed from more than 25 years
of experience in the international beauty and fashion industry.
Everything you learn during this program is based on techniques and
workflows that are actually used on editorial shoots, campaigns,
backstage at fashion shows and in the professional beauty industry.
The program follows a clear structure. You begin with the fundamentals
of the profession: skin preparation, product knowledge, facial analysis
and the basics of shape, shadow and balance. From there, we gradually
build towards more advanced techniques and creative looks.
You will not only learn how to perform a technique, but also why you do
it. This allows you to develop a deeper understanding of the face and
make confident decisions as a professional Make-up Artist.
During the program we also focus on:
• working with different skin types and skin tones
• understanding face shapes and corrective techniques
• creating both commercial and fashion looks
• developing your own artistic signature
Within the JDO Method, the focus is not only on technique but also on
practical experience. During the training you work on real models and
learn how to collaborate professionally within a creative team.
The program concludes with a professional photoshoot, where you apply
the techniques you have learned in a realistic shoot environment. You
work together with a photographer and a creative team, just as it
happens in the professional industry.
For many students, this is a special moment: you see your work come to
life on camera and leave with professional images for your portfolio.
After completing the program, you will not only have learned new skills,
but also gained confidence, practical experience and a strong foundation
to start or further develop your career as a Make-up Artist.
Welcome to the world of the JDO Make-up Artist Method.

How do I arrange my own models?
- Immediate surroundings: we recommend asking your immediate
surroundings first, think family, friends or neighbors. Perhaps they
know someone who would also like to model for you. - Social media post: of course you can also use your own social media
by sharing a post with a call. What can help in this is to tag
@jdo-academy in your call so that we can also share it on our channel
(note: this is only possible if you have a public profile). - Call in Facebook groups: there are also groups on Facebook where you
can post calls that you are looking for a model to practice on. A fee
is often expected in these, but it is not necessary. Be clear in your
communication in this. - Addressing people: another perhaps more challenging option is to
simply approach people on the street or on the road, but we understand
that this can be a barrier.
What kind of class materials do I need?
HAIRSTYLING ESSENTIAL KIT
*optional
Juliette den Ouden carefully curated the Hairstyling Essentials Kit. We recommend buying the Hairstyling Essential kit, because you will receive high quality products that last a long time.
What if you already have certain hairstyling items?
That's great, you are on your way of building your hairstyling kit! Send us a message so we can adjust the Hairstyling Essential kit for you, so you get exactly what you need.
How many hours a week should I spend on homework?
This is totally up to you, but we recommend to spend 2-3 hours a week.
