Module Beauty competence
Skin theory
When we talk about skin , most people first think of skincare products, make-up or their own reflection in the mirror in the morning. But the skin is much more than just our outer covering. It is the largest organ in our body, our protective shield, a sensory organ and an expression of our health.
In skin science, you will learn about the anatomical structure of the skin and its individual layers. You will learn how it works, what tasks it performs and why it sometimes reacts sensitively to external influences. You will learn how to recognize different skin types and understand which skincare and make-up products are suitable for which skin type. Another important part of the course is how to deal with skin irritations and allergies. You will learn how to recognize allergic reactions, how to deal with them responsibly and how to select products that support the skin instead of burdening it.
This practical unit helps you not only to see the skin, but to really understand it. This will enable you to apply type-appropriate make-up that highlights rather than conceals - while keeping the health and well-being of your customers in mind.
Hygiene & workplace organization
In make-up artistry, cleanliness is not a minor matter, but an essential part of professionalism. In the subject of hygiene and workplace organization, you will learn how to create a hygienic, safe and trustworthy work area. First, you will deal with the basic hygiene stages. Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization. You will learn which of these measures are necessary in everyday make-up work and when they should be used. This includes how to clean and disinfect brushes, sponges, palettes and tools correctly to prevent skin irritations and infections.
Another focus is on correct hand washing and personal hygiene routines. You will learn how to keep contact surfaces clean, remove products hygienically and prevent the transmission of germs. This also includes careful handling of make-up, creams and liquid products to ensure their quality and safety.
The overall impression of the workplace is just as important: a well-organized table, clear processes and a quiet, clean work area convey professionalism and confidence. You will learn how to arrange your materials clearly, prepare consumables and arrange your set so that you can work efficiently and tidily.This subject will give you the skills to apply make-up not only beautifully, but also responsibly and hygienically - a prerequisite for quality, safety and a professional appearance.
Material science
In materials science, you will learn about the most important tools of the trade . Before you can create make-up, you need to know which materials to work with and how to use them correctly, and you will learn about different brushes and tools, including foundation and eyeshadow brushes as well as spatulas, eyelash curlers and sponges. You will learn which shape and texture of a brush creates which effect and which brush is best for applying creamy, powdery or liquid textures. Because every product can only be applied beautifully if the right tool is used.
You will also take a closer look at different make-up textures . Powder, cream, gel, liquid and stick products. You will learn which textures combine well with each other, how they behave on the skin and how to apply them so that they look natural and last a long time. This also includes how to remove products correctly in order to use them hygienically and sparingly.
Another focus is the correct handling of the material. You will practise how to clean brushes, store products and prepare your work set so that you can work efficiently, cleanly and professionally, and the aim of this unit is for you to not only know your tools, but to master them. This means that your make-up is not left to chance, but is created with precision, feeling and technical confidence.
Color theory
Colors are omnipresent: in our reflection in the mirror, in nature, in clothing and make-up. But only when we understand their effect on people and know how they relate to each other can we use them consciously. This is exactly where color theory comes in.
To begin with, you will get to know the color wheel. It shows how colors are related to each other and which combinations have a harmonious or contrasting effect. Whether warm or cool, soft or strong - every color carries a certain mood . You will learn how these moods are used in make-up to create radiance, freshness or depth.
In the next step, you will focus on color analysis. You will observe the skin undertone, eye color and hair structure in order to recognize which color nuances make a face appear lively. It's about noticing differences that seem inconspicuous at first glance, but play a major role in the overall picture.
In the practical part of the type consultation, you will get to know the classic color types, such as the spring, summer, autumn and winter types. Step by step, you will learn how to clearly classify people and choose suitable make-up colors. The aim is to choose colors not just because they look "beautiful", but because they emphasize the natural personality. at the end of this unit, you will not only have theoretical knowledge, but also a trained eye. You will develop a feel for which shades harmonize in make-up and how you can use color in a targeted way to create a look that is lively, harmonious and expressive.
Facial analysis
How does a face change when light and shadow are used in a targeted way? This is exactly where facial analysis comes in: it is about consciously perceiving proportions and understanding the influence of make-up on the shape of the face. You will learn to recognize and distinguish between different face shapes such as oval, round, angular, heart-shaped or long. This is the basis for working specifically with light and shadow later on.
The aim of any make-up design is to create harmonious and balanced proportions. In make-up artistry, the oval face is considered ideal, as its lines appear soft and even. With the help of contouring and highlighting techniques , you can visually approximate other face shapes to this ideal.
An important part of the unit is taking a close look at individual parts of the face. You analyze the distance between the eyes, the shape and height of the eyebrows, the proportions of the forehead, cheeks and chin as well as the lines of the bridge of the nose. The shape of the lips and jawline also play a role. All these details determine how a face looks: soft, striking, open or rather compact.
Train your eye for subtle differences and develop a confident, professional sense of proportion. The result is make-up that emphasizes your personality and shapes your overall appearance.
Customer-oriented work in the beauty industry
The beauty industry is not just about applying make-up, but also about meeting people. In customer-oriented work, you will learn how to communicate professionally, respectfully and clearly with customers. You will learn how to recognize wishes, correctly assess expectations and find out what the other person really needs by asking specific questions. Language is a key aspect of this: technical terms are helpful in the classroom, but can quickly become confusing when talking to customers. You will therefore learn to explain content in a way that is easy to understand without losing your expertise.
One sensitive topic is how to deal with skin blemishes, scars or signs of ageing. Here it is important to remain respectful and empathetic. Instead of emphasizing problems, the focus is on demonstrating ways to accentuate existing beauty. You will practise how to give honest advice without offending and how to give customers a positive feeling .
You will also be given tools for dealing with uncertainty, dissatisfaction or difficult conversational situations : How do I stay calm? How do I formulate feedback in an appreciative way? How do I professionally steer a conversation back to a common solution? This subject strengthens your communication skills and makes you confident in direct contact. You will not only appear as a make-up artist, but also as a person of trust who sees people, takes them seriously and accompanies them professionally.
Module Make-up artist
Day makeup
Day make-up should look light, fresh and accompany you in everyday life without appearing artificial. First, you will learn the basics: you will learn to recognize different skin types, prepare the skin correctly and measure the face so that proportions and highlights can be deliberately set. A good base is crucial to how natural and harmonious the result looks.
Building on this, you will create natural make-up looks for everyday life and work. You will learn how to emphasize the complexion, eyes and lips so that the face looks lively without appearing overly made up. The topic of eyeglass make-up is also covered. How do I make up the eyes so that they stand out clearly behind the spectacle frame? Which color and shading techniques support the facial features?
In the practical part , you will work directly with a model. You will create two complete looks with variations to gain confidence in the application. You will try out various basic techniques, test products and practise using brushes and textures. The aim of this unit is for you not only to know the basics, but also to be able to apply them: an even complexion, softly accentuated eyes and a natural overall look that emphasizes your individual beauty. Here you will lay the foundation for all further make-up techniques.
Evening & Glam Makeup
Evening or glam make-up can stand out and show presence. In this course, you will learn how to create looks that are suitable for special occasions such as parties, events, dinners or elegant evenings. It is about make-up that is more intense than a daytime look, but remains stylish and harmonious.
You will work with contouring and highlighting techniques to sculpt the face and give it depth. You will also practise the professional application of artificial eyelashes to make the look more open and expressive. For the skin, you will use radiant products, shimmer and more intense colors that add glamour to the look without looking overloaded.
In the practical part, you will create glamorous looks with a focus on light and overall effect. You will learn how colors, textures and details work together and how to prevent "too much" from happening. The aim is to create a perfectly coordinated look in which eyes, lips and complexion harmonize with each other. The result is a glam look that is clean, elegant and true to type.
Bridal Makeup
Bridal make-up is considered the supreme discipline because it requires technique, feeling and perfection. On this special day, everything has to be just right: the look, the durability and, above all, the bride's confidence in your work.
In this course, you will learn how to create make-up that lasts a long time and can withstand emotional moments. You will work with fixing techniques as well as suitable textures and products that can withstand tears, hugs, weather and many hours without any problems. At the same time, you make sure that the look is fresh, natural and timeless, because wedding photos last a lifetime. You will work on bridal looks that are true to type: from classic and elegant to modern and clean to light boho variations. Not only the face, but also the personality, style, skin type and overall impression of the wedding day play a role. An important focus is on dealing sensitively with the bride. You will learn to listen to her, pick up on her insecurities, work out her wishes and create a calm, professional setting.
In practice, you will create trial looks and coordinate the make-up with the dress, accessories and hairstyling. The aim is to create bridal makeup with technical confidence, but also with heart, so that brides feel seen, beautiful and in good hands.
Smokey Eye, Halo Eye & Cut Crease
Dramatic eye looks thrive on technique, precision and a good feel for shapes. In this subject, you will focus on three expressive eye make-up variations: smokey eye, halo eye and cut crease.
First, you will learn to recognize and analyse differenteye shapes. You will learn what influence the eyelid crease, eyebrow arch, lash line and eye distance have on the effect of a look. It's not just about "recreating" a style, but also about understanding which look supports which eye shape. When does a halo eye open up the gaze? When is a smokey eye flattering and when is it oppressive? How do you create a cut crease so that the eye is clearly defined?
You will then work through the looks step by step. You will learn how to build up colors, blend transitions softly and draw clean lines. The sequence, product consistency and brush technique are important here - small details with a big effect. You will practise all three variations in detail and then apply them creatively. You can experiment with color intensity, textures and shimmer to adapt the looks to different types and occasions.
The aim of this unit is for you to not only be able to apply eye makeup, but also to understand and consciously create it. This will enable you to create looks that emphasize eye shape, enhance expression and reveal personality.
Eyeliner looks
Eyeliner can open, emphasize, elongate or add depth to the eye - provided it is applied correctly. The eyeliner looks subject is all about lines, expression and precision.
First, you will get to know different techniques: the classic, fine liner for everyday and business use, the curved wing for more expression and the modern graphic liner for creative looks. The different eye shapes play a central role here. You will analyze how eye shape, eyelid crease and lash line affect the effect of an eyeliner and how to adjust the line so that it visually supports the eye.
You will also learn about product science: gel, liquid and pencil liners have different properties and areas of application. You will learn when to use which liner, how to apply it in a controlled manner and how to make corrections cleanly and professionally. In the practical part, you will practise the basic techniques step by step and then apply them creatively. You will experiment with shape, length, thickness and effect to train your sense of line and balance.
Photo/film make-up
With photo and film make-up, the decisive factor is how the make-up looks under the camera, light and resolution. What looks natural in the mirror may appear too pale, too shiny or too low-contrast in photos. In this subject, you will learn how to design makeup so that it looks professional and clear both live and in pictures.
First, you will look at the differences to everyday or event makeup. You will learn how studio lighting, flash and HD cameras show the skin and which techniques are necessary to keep contours visible, control shine and reproduce colors correctly. Another focus is on business portraits and professional shoots, where the emphasis is on naturalness and seriousness. Men's make-up is also covered. The aim here is to even out irregularities without looking "made up" and to create a well-groomed, authentic complexion .
In practice, you will work under realistic conditions. You will apply make-up under time pressure, prioritize the most important steps and work quickly and cleanly. You will practise how to adjust looks efficiently, react to changes in light and analyze results directly on the monitor.
Corrective make-up
Corrective make-up is the targeted covering and balancing of skin irregularities. You will learn to analyze different skin types and select the appropriate products and techniques for blemishes, scars, redness or pigmentation disorders. You will apply color theory directly. Which shades neutralize redness? Which tones make pale skin glow? How can you achieve an even, natural complexion without a mask effect?
Another focus is on concealing and emphasizing individual areas of the face. You will learn how to visually optimize the nose, lips, cheeks and eyes without looking unnatural. Best ager make-up for the 60+ generation is also covered. The focus here is on suitable textures, gentle transitions and techniques that support mature skin instead of emphasizing it.
Communication with customers is also important. How do I speak sensitively and positively about skin issues without reinforcing insecurities? How do I convey suggestions in a professional and respectful manner? In the practical part, you will create before-and-after looks in which you apply the techniques you have learned in a targeted manner. You will train to incorporate corrections precisely, naturally and harmoniously.

Graduate make-up artists can work in beauty studios, at weddings and events, in the film and TV industry, in the theater, on fashion shoots and editorial productions, as brand beauty experts or as independent make-up artists. Workshop management and training courses are also popular areas of employment.
Is it also possible to work as a self-employed make-up artist?
Yes, many qualified make-up artists work independently and offer their services for weddings, photo shoots, events or private clients. Self-employment offers flexible working hours, creative freedom and higher earning potential. The internationally recognized diploma supports your professional appearance.
Do I need a trade license as a make-up artist in Austria?
For purely decorative make-up services (without invasive skin treatments) in Austria, you need a "Cosmetics (beauty care)" competence test limited to decorative cosmetics. A regulated trade with a corresponding trade license is required for cosmetic and skin treatment activities. Registration takes place at the responsible municipal authority or district authority.
Income varies greatly depending on the area of work and type of employment. Employed positions in beauty studios, department stores or with cosmetics brands offer a regular salary with social insurance. Self-employed make-up artists have significantly higher earning potential as they can set their own fees. Specializations such as wedding and event make-up, film and TV productions and fashion shoots are particularly lucrative. Earnings increase significantly with professional experience, portfolio quality and reputation. Large cities such as Vienna offer higher fees than rural regions.
What factors influence earnings?
Earnings depend on several factors: Professional experience and portfolio quality increase the fees significantly. Higher rates are possible in Vienna and large cities than in rural regions. Specializations such as bridal make-up, SFX or editorial increase income. Self-employment offers the highest earning potential, but requires active marketing and customer acquisition.
Can I specialize further after my training?
Yes, after your make-up artist training you can specialize in various areas: Special Effects (SFX) and Fantasy Make-up, Airbrush Techniques, Permanent Make-up, Hairstyling or Make-up Photography. The FlexyFit Academy also offers the combined training Dipl. Visagist & Make-up Artist, which combines both diplomas.
What is the difference between a make-up artist and a make-up artist?
The qualified make-up artist focuses on classic beauty techniques, skin analysis, color consultation, day, evening and bridal make-up as well as professional set make-up. The make-up artist also covers special effects, fantasy make-up, character portrayals and creative stage looks. The combined training combines both areas for maximum versatility and career opportunities.
How do I build up a customer base?
You will build up a successful customer base through a professional portfolio with high-quality photos of your work, an active social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), collaborations with photographers, bridal fashion stores and event agencies, referral marketing and customer reviews as well as networking at beauty events and wedding fairs. You can already make your first contacts during your training.
What requirements do I need for make-up artist training?
You need to be at least 18 years old, be creative and enjoy beauty. No previous school knowledge, A-levels or make-up experience required. The course is suitable for beginners and advanced students. Written parental consent is required for minors.
Can I still be a make-up artist at 40+?
Yes, absolutely! Many successful make-up artists start their careers as career changers at the age of 40, 50 or even 60. Life experience, empathy and knowledge of human nature are great advantages when dealing with customers. The flexible training program with online modules and classroom courses makes it possible to learn on the job at any age.
Do I need previous knowledge of make-up or cosmetics?
No, you do not need any previous knowledge. The course starts with the basics of make-up artistry and systematically builds on each other. You will learn everything from skin analysis and color consultation to day and evening make-up, bridal make-up and professional set techniques. Even absolute beginners will reach a professional level.
Do I need special equipment for make-up artist training?
All you need for the theoretical online modules is a computer, tablet or smartphone with internet access. Depending on the package you choose (Basic, Premium or VIP), you will receive various professional starter kits with make-up products and tools. You are also welcome to use your own materials and products. You work with real models and receive recommendations for your own basic equipment.
What is a portfolio and what do I need it for as a make-up artist?
A portfolio is your professional workbook with high-quality photos of your best make-up work and transformations. It shows potential clients, agencies, production companies and employers your skills, style and versatility. The portfolio is your visual calling card and is often crucial for contracts - especially in the beauty, film and event industries where clients want to see what you can do before booking. A strong portfolio with professional before-after images, different looks (bridal, editorial, SFX, fantasy) and creative work opens doors to lucrative projects and helps build your brand on social media and your website.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!
The entire flexyfit team is extremely friendly, prompt and helpful. The lecturers are competent and respond to the course participants. All learning materials were provided clearly and in sufficient detail. The additional videos mean there is something for every type of learner. All in all, the training and exam went well. I can definitely recommend flexyfit and will be happy to book and recommend further training courses with you again!
I really enjoyed training to become a B-license fitness trainer there. The teaching materials provided are great and flawless. I learned a lot of new things there and always enjoyed what I was doing. The team is great and is always there for you if you have any questions!
The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
I was able to complete my chosen course very well and quickly. The team is very quick and courteous and you are always offered a good solution if there are any uncertainties. I will book again when I get the chance and can recommend the academy!
Training at Flexyfit was the best decision; I learned a lot about sport and nutrition. The support was always there, very competent and nice staff/trainers. I will definitely recommend the Academy. Especially thanks to Melanie, Sarah and Daniel
A really demanding training, great material, the videos are great, the script complements it well. The structure is very sensible and you can find your way around easily. I just find the proportionality of the yoga license compared to the Pilates license unfavorable. Many more exams are required for the yoga license. The final exam for the yoga license is also significantly more difficult; in my opinion, questions need to be reconsidered.
Thank you Flexyfit - very competent, great documents and support. The practical exercises in Innsbruck were TOP - thank you Matthias. I can only recommend. I will continue. 😉
Very high quality training! The Flexyfit Academy tried very hard to answer and explain in detail all the questions that arose during the training. Can I definitely recommend!
Absolutely satisfied! I chose distance learning because I couldn't be there in person, and I highly recommend it! Everything worked smoothly, contact was quick and a solution was always found if there were any problems. The team is super friendly and the profile overview is very clear. A small suggestion: It would be helpful if users who are inactive for a long time received a reminder or if an app were available so that they could learn on the go.
I was very positively surprised by the training! The distance learning course was very uncomplicated and the service was also perfect! The materials were very good and I learned a lot! I can recommend it with a clear conscience! Update 2024: Now that I have completed my third training course, I can only confirm my first assessment! As a full-time worker, it was a great opportunity for me to do part-time training that corresponds to my passion! I regularly read books on the subject of sport and health, and I have to say that the training courses everywhere are very good and up to date! That surprised me somewhat positively! =) Thanks to Flexyfit I can now turn my hobby into a career! So another clear recommendation from me!
A great training program that is offered there, with a very friendly and competent team. It was a pleasure to learn with your very well prepared videos and scripts. I'm already looking forward to my next training. I'm already looking forward to my next training. I can only highly recommend it, I definitely give it 5 stars.
I did the children's trainer training at Flexyfit. From the very beginning you receive great support and the communication is perfect. Everyone is hardworking and friendly. Everything worked perfectly online and on site. It definitely won't be the last training or workshop I do with you. I am looking forward to meet you again. Thanks to Daniel, Melanie and Beno :-)
Flexible learning made easy :) Very competent and friendly. Very quick answers to questions and I would recommend Flexyfit to anyone who wants to do training in the sports sector 💪🏾
I have already completed two correspondence courses and I can say that continuing my education with the Flexyfit courses is simply fun. You learn at your own pace and are flexible in terms of time and location.
I have now completed two training courses at the Flexyfit Academy and would do it again in a heartbeat. If possible, I recommend the face-to-face courses, they simply result in a really exciting exchange. Service and support are top and all needs are taken into account. Mini drawback: the online learning system is not entirely straight-forward, but you get used to it quickly.
➕ Good institute with a great online academy and a wide range of training options. I have already completed 3 training courses there. I like the modular structure, so that various basic modules can also be used for other training courses. ➖ Unfortunately, the price structure has been adjusted so that (basic) modules that have already been completed can no longer be deducted from the price. A pity.
I have already completed two training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy and am completely satisfied! A super nice team, the organization and documents are top - can only be recommended ;)
Great team! The organization of the training is uncomplicated and very competent. The speakers are professional and experienced and bring a good mix of theory and practice. Overall, only recommended.
Incredibly friendly team, always available, incredibly helpful and trying very hard to find a solution for everything. The learning videos and scripts are well prepared and easy to follow. I was personally able to learn the most from the really good tutors in the practical part. Overall, you get a very good overview and insight into the relevant subject areas. The course also showed me personally where I would like to orient myself further and which areas I would like to deepen in depth. In addition: well-equipped teaching halls and very attractive rooms - everything is very inviting and familiar. Every now and then you see someone from the team just coming back from running or the weight room - that makes you feel right away! (Training: Dipl. Medical Sports Supervisor)
I am very satisfied, I had a TOP professor (which is not a given these days). I think it's great that as a nutrition trainer you also have to learn anatomical subjects (it's called sports competence). The support was great too. Very helpful team! All in all I'm very satisfied.
Super fast and nice service! Every question answered immediately and in a pleasant and appreciative way! What would be better would be more time for face-to-face teaching!
My training at Flexyfit Sport Academy... I received the best support and advice from the most competent, friendly and successful team. Many thanks to the top team (office, speakers and coaches). It was a great pleasure for me to walk with you on the path to realizing my own goals.
For all coaches who want to absorb detailed knowledge in one or more areas. I'm just very enthusiastic about the Flexyfit Sport Acamedy and felt like I was in great hands with the trainers. The enthusiasm was so palpable even during the Zoom workshops. Regardless of whether you prefer to read the script or watch the accompanying videos, there is a medium for every type of learner and the learning material is extremely well prepared. And should any questions arise, the “Customer Service” is there super quickly and responds after a few hours or is there to give advice.
Simply great and very, very nice. All the employees from the Flexyfit Sports Academy team are so nice, courteous and helpful. Help is available within minutes to an hour if questions arise while learning online. It's a lot to learn, but it shows that trainer training, no matter the subject, requires a certain foundation and I personally think it's exactly right. For me, this shows quality and that not every self-proclaimed professional is also a connoisseur and expert. Be careful with who and where you train! It is our body and every person should pay attention to it and have the “right” trainer with specialist knowledge at their side. I can only recommend Flexyfit Sports Academy. Many thanks to all Flexyfit Sports Academy employees, you are great!!!!!
Incredibly helpful staff! Even worked especially for me on public holidays and made appointments, very accommodating and supportive. Absolutely recommended and happy :)
The training (Dipl. Health Fitness & Personal Trainer) is really great, if I had a problem I was always helped very quickly. The videos in conjunction with the scripts are very helpful and well designed, the training overall is well structured, including the intermediate exams, practice tasks, etc. This consolidates what you have learned even better! The lecturers are also very competent and my two examiners were very friendly and relaxed, so there was no reason to be nervous. All in all highly recommended!
