Personalized Professional Makeup Mentorship

Come learn with me

A Learning Experience Built Around You

No two people come to makeup with the same experience, goals or questions.

Personalized mentorship allows me to work with you, wherever you are and elevate your skills by focusing on what you genuinely want to develop.

Whether you're a working makeup artist, an aspiring professional, an educator, or simply someone who wants to master makeup for yourself.

Sessions are adapted to your individual goals, with professional instruction, demonstration, hands-on practice and direct feedback.

Rate: $360 · 3 hours per session

Each session includes:

• Focused theoretical breakdown

• Demonstration and guided technical practice

• Structured written recap

• Clear progression recommendations

Available in English and French.

Structured Development Path

For those looking for deeper development, a 5-session progression allows us to build skills over time through practice, feedback and refinement.

Clients completing the 5-session pathway may receive a Certificate of Accomplishment.

The mentorship can be shaped around professional development or personal mastery.

I work with actors, performers, singers, business professionals, makeup artists from different disciplines, educators, aestheticians, digital creators, artists, makeup lovers and anyone willing to learn more about makeup.

My advanced training with Jacques allowed me to refine my makeup techniques and achieve a much higher level of results. The progression he proposes is personalized and adapted to my specific needs. I really appreciated the balance between theory and practical work, which complement each other in every lesson. I highly recommend him. Thank you for everything!

While looking to improve my makeup techniques, Jacques Besner was recommended to me. From the very first contact, I appreciated his responsiveness and professionalism. I later took a private lesson with him, which I really enjoyed thanks to his clear and precise explanations. He is also a very pleasant person to work with.
