Love them or loathe them, celebrities seem to have glam down to a science. And while they want us all to believe that they "woke up like this", we know that they have personal hair and makeup teams to get them red carpet ready.
Come and learn insider tricks so you too can be a glamazon in no time! Our makeup artists will lead you through a hands-on demonstration in contouring (hello, chiseled cheekbones!), achieving a natural "I've just come from St. Tropez" tan and face-brightener highlighter.
Makeup Bonus: Tips for filling in your eyebrows and achieving a face opening, structured brow.
NOTE: Ideally students will arrive with their foundation pre-applied and no other makeup. An eye look is ok, but we will teach contour, blush, highlight + brows.
PLEASE NOTE: goldplaited adheres to dabble’s cancellation policy which is a firm SEVEN DAYS in advance. We are unable to approve refunds or class transfers inside seven days.

I singed up for this class by myself on a whim since I had no idea what contouring is and thought I needed to get hip with the times. There were only three of us in the class so there was amazing individual attention. We were able to ask a ton of questions. I learned a lot and will definitely take another class.

The class was great and the teacher was so informative. I've been watching a lot of make up videos but it's really hard to learn from videos because they aren't tailored to your face shape. The teacher here was able to explain to us how to contour on our face. The class was intimate, just me and my friend, so we definitely got a lot of attention. If you're looking to learn make up I would highly recommend taking this class. I'll definitely be taking more classes in the future.

This was my first time taking any sort of makeup class. I have seen a lot of youtube instructional videos but the fundamental training I got specific to my face at goldplaited was very beneficial. I learned a lot about achieving the results I want using the products I already own. I did bring in my own products (it was interesting to learn how wrong I was using my own products lol) but goldplaited had their own makeup products you can use as well. I would recommend this class to all levels of makeup skills.

Such a great class! All of the instructors were extremely helpful and really took the time to explain each technique, they were so lovely! I definitely walked away with some new skills in my bag, there were so many things I didn't even realize were possible, and also some things I realized I had been doing wrong my whole life, so all in all an all round great experience

It was a rainy day and there turned out to be only me and one other person in class. Natalia who was our teacher made the class highly personalized and adjusted her teaching to our skill and comfort levels. At the end, she took out time to answer any questions we had not just about what we had learned but about anything related to makeup. I've been able to use the techniques we learned in class by myself on an almost daily basis. Thank you Natalia!

Fantastic class! We were a small group, and that allowed the teacher to really spend personalized time with each of us. I learned so much about how to contour! The teacher was very knowledgeable and patient, and most of all fun!She had all the supplies we needed, and items were available for purchase after the class. I have much more confidence now in my contouring abilities, and I have this class to thank!

Awesome experience!! My friend and I went for a girls night and the class totally exceeded our expectations! We were new to contouring and the instructor was very patient, knowledable, and friendly! Would highly recommend!

I loved this class & the teacher was amazing! They made contoring and highlighting seem so easy! She took time with each student demonstrating and applying the techniques. She answered all our questions and discussed other products to try.

Absolutely loved this class! The beauticians were knowledgeable about what looks good based on your skin tone/hair color/beauty goals. Super happy!

Great class! The instructor demonstrated all of the contour and highlight steps on another instructor and then gave us individual instruction and had us try the techniques ourselves in groups of 2. I feel equipped to go out and contour and highlight on my own now! As an added bonus, goldplaited sells all the supplies used in class (w/ really reasonable prices), but is not pushy at all about them (and will also recommend products you can buy in Ulta and Sephora).

I really enjoyed this. The teachers were adorable and nice and really knew what they were talking about. The place is easy to find and super cute. I’m excited to go back for more classes.

This class was awesome. The instructor first demonstrated on half of our faces then walked us through when we did the other half of our face. We even went over a few other tips too. Would definitely recommend.

This was a great class. The first half is demo which I was glad for. Not sure I would have been able to jump right in. We then broke off into small groups with very talented and patient instructors (thanks, Becky!) who gave great advice tailored for our individual face shapes and features. Product is available for purchase after the class, but they don't push this on you. It didn't feel like one big commercial when it certainly could have. I'll definitely be back for their curling iron and eye makeup classes!

We had a fun night learning and experimenting with new tools, products and techniques! The class starts with a live demonstration with an open forum for Q&A. She goes into detail regarding the rationale and explanations for professional makeup artists best practices. There is then almost a full hour to practice the techniques on yourself, and the instructor comes by to offer advice and answer questions to achieve a tailored look for your features.

There were 5 girls in my class and 2 teachers. It was the perfect size! The teachers were able to give 1:1 help when needed. I also really liked the highlighter and will be buying the product when I go back for my next class!

This class was fun to do with a friend. You get to learn the very basics of contouring and hilighting using the many many products they have. Most of the people in the class knew nothing about contouring at the beginning and we all walked away with fresh faces!

I ended up having a one on one contour consultation. My make up artist was very encouraging and gave me multiple opportunities to try the various techniques myself.

I really enjoyed taking this class. It was a small class and their was a lot of good information shared. I like the fact that they split the class in groups and had some of the stylists were accessible and showing us individually how to apply the makeup. The class was very informative. I also like the salon and I'm highly considering back to have them style my hair.

I can't echo what the other reviewers have said enough! The instructors were amazing and spent a lot of time showing you the correct placement of different powders to contour and highlight your face shape. They did one side and we mimicked the other in a step by step fashion. As some other reviewers have suggested, bring a pen and paper so you can remember all of their good information!

This class was so much fun! I went with a friend and we both loved the class. I have never liked how much I looked after doing my own makeup. I will definitely be coming back for their other classes.

The artists customized the class for everyone there, giving us all specific tips for highlighting our own features.

The team at Goldplaired is awesome! I have taken the curling iron and highlighting class and have walked away with so much. I would highly recommend any of their classes!

I really enjoyed the class and it was far more information than i anticipated. My only critique is there was a ton of information on products and tools and technique. It was almost too much to take in. I wish they gave us a cheat sheet when we left that just named at least what they used, if not by brand name, just by tool (i.e. fan brush, highlighter, etc.)

This is a great beginners class for someone who isn't confident in applying make up. My favorite part of the class is when you break into small groups and the instructors give you hands on help and you can ask questions and get advice.

Not only did I learn how to contour, but I finally figured out how to tease my hair! This class was worth it.

I thought the class content was helpful and pretty simple to follow. I would recommend the class to a beginner with makeup.
