Melissa Sassine The Academy

Yesterday I undertaken a 1:1 makeup pro lesson with Melissa! & my gosh she is so talented! I learnt so much & she really simplified everything for me. She is absolutely amazing I would recommend this to all artists that are starting out or needing to up-skill like myself to book in a 1:1! From techniques, products & tools she really covered everything to the point I left leaving so confident. & wow her cosmetics are friggen amazing definitely a must have to add to your kit.Such a friendly environment the girls were so kind & really took care of me & made sure I had the best experience & I got what I wanted out of it! Best investment ever!Can’t wait to visit the girls again soon! You’re the best xx

I absolutely love Melissa! I apply for her make-up course. It was a 4 week course but I learned so much from her. She fast tracked everything, covered colour theory, social media marketing, face shapes and eye shapes. There's a day for theory, a demonstration and then a practical for you. You could also ask Mel questions during the lessons too. She's very generous with her time during lessons.I found the course an absolute blast and it helped me build up my confidence.

I did the 4 week makeup course from October to November. I came in very shy and anxious and left the course loving it. I learnt so much from the Academy, especially from Melissa and Robyn. They were both so helpful and I'm so grateful for the experience. I definitely recommend this course.

I have been going here for a few years now I love the outcome of my makeup , but the price had jumped from $90 to $140 (not including eyelashes) which seems abit overpriced , other then that if you don’t mind spending the money then this is a great place.

Got my makeup done for my engagement a couple of years ago from a senior make up artist" and her "assistant"

From my honest experience I would not recommend. I did my pre wedding shoot make up with Melissa Sassine and my make up was not nice, considering I paid $500 for this my make up was not applied correctly I had to remove my eye lashes and add my own ones and blend in my make up more. My make up was that bad that my pre wedding shoot photos looked so shocking and didn’t even let the photographer print an album out for me because I didn’t look good in any photos. When Melissa contacted me the week before my wedding I told her I didn’t fully like it and I can tell she wasn’t very happy from my opinion, also on my wedding day she didn’t upload me to her social media as she does with all her brides and I just felt that with all that money I paid she could’ve at least put one photo of me. I took it that she got offended from me telling her I did not like my pre wedding shoot photo. So I felt quite let down and sadly wouldn’t recommend. No hatred just talking about my personal experience.

Bella was absolutely amazing last Sunday. Our new favourite. Our makeup was flawless and we all got so many compliments on the night. Professional, punctual and so experienced. Big asset to this industry. Thank you Bella.

i did my engagement makeup from Melissa. she is very humble and talented make up artist. Awesome service and highly recommend.

I’m a current student at the Melissa Sassine Academy, and there simply aren’t enough words to express how wonderful the four week makeup course has been so far; this course has been everything I imagined and more. Melissa and her team are so warm, friendly and welcoming, and they all give so much attention to detail and care in everything they do. You can tell by their demeanour that they are incredibly passionate about makeup and instilling valuable skills to their students. Emily and Melissa have given me so much in-depth knowledge, and they take their time to listen to my questions and show me how I can improve my techniques. It is an honour to learn from them, as I am a huge fan of their artistry and I have followed their work for many years now.If you’re thinking of joining the academy, don’t hesitate!! The kit you are given is incredible, the demonstrations are meticulously executed and the prac sessions give you so much valuable experience by broadening your skills. Even when faced with executing challenging makeup techniques, Melissa and her team are there to guide you every step of the way.I’m so sad that this course will be over soon, but I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to learn at this Academy! Thank you for everything!!

I did the 6 week course with Melissa Sassine and can honestly say I was sad for it to end. Her work is second to none , Melissa is very patient, helpful and such a great person to work with. She made me feel very comfortable and always feel good about my work. Bella and Robyn were incredible. I highly recommend doing this course. Excited to see what the future holds. And can't wait to visit Melissa and her team again !
