Diploma of Screen & Media (Makeup)
Studying at Demi International Beauty Academy was one of the best things I ever did for myself.
I obtained a Diploma in Screen and Media Makeup in 2018 alongside some brilliant students and an amazing, informative and friendly teacher. Within 3 months I was already getting paid as a Makeup Artist working for myself and after 4 months I was hired as a HMUA for an award winning photographic studio. Two weeks after competing my diploma I was selected as the Makeup Director for Aura Makeup Australia and will be taking charge of the Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival. I am thrilled with my outcome and I owe it all to Demi International!
Our course advisors are here to help. They can talk you through how the course is delivered, what you’ll learn and what you need to bring, along with funding and payment options.
When you’re ready to enrol, your course advisor will step you through the application and deposit process, send across relevant paperwork and links, then arrange your orientation and uniform collection.

Demi International Beauty Academy is a great school to study make up and beauty services. The Diploma of Screen and Media is a great course as you learn so many interesting make up facts and learn how to perfect your make up whether it be glamour make up or special effects. It is also great that they get guest speakers come into the class to show you products or how to create make up looks. The teachers are wonderful and are always there to help you along the way. Over the past year at school I have made some friends that I hope to have for life. I would recommend Demi International to anyone willing to start their career in freelance make up or special effects.
