industry ready make up artistry course

Hi, I’m Nadia Duca, and my journey wasn’t typical. I began in the corporate world, armed with a double degree, an MBA, and years of experience in high pressure roles within the Oil and Gas industry. But my love for makeup changed everything.

What started as a maternity leave hobby turned into a burning passion. I had zero makeup or artistic experience, but I took a leap, enrolled in a makeup diploma, and followed that with intensive training in the US.

Leaving behind my corporate life, I started at the bottom and worked my way up. Now, I’ve built a career that combines creative expression, flexibility, and my love for teaching.

Over the years, I’ve worked on billboard campaigns, international fashion weeks, high end beauty brands, celebrities and magazine covers. Now, I’m here to share the lessons, skills, and strategies I’ve learned to help you thrive in this industry.
