Pro Track — Aspiring MUA Foundations
Forty hours of foundational training for the woman building a career in makeup. Concept-first, technique-driven, taught one to one.
A twelve-week one-to-one programme for the woman who wants to build a career as a makeup artist. We do not run dozens of students at once. This is one teacher, one student, forty hours.
The Pro Track is for serious applicants only. We interview before accepting. The programme covers everything from skin biology and product chemistry through editorial bridal, day-to-day clientele, on-location lighting, and the business of running a studio.
Graduates leave with a curated portfolio of six finished editorial looks shot in our studio, a kit list, a pricing structure, and a working understanding of how to position themselves in the Egyptian market.
Built around four very specific students.
The career-changer
Has decided makeup is the next chapter and wants foundations built properly the first time.
The self-taught artist
Has clients on Instagram but knows the technique gaps will catch up.
The pre-MUA
About to enrol in international academies and wants Egyptian context first.
The detailed curriculum.
The framework below is the template. Noha will deviate from it in the room — slowing down on the techniques that need more time and skipping past anything you already have a confident grip on. Sessions are tailored, not standardised.
Skin, product chemistry, kit building
Eight hours on what is actually in your products and why most kits are built badly.
Base & sculpt mastery
Eight hours building a foundation and sculpt vocabulary across five face shapes and four ethnic backgrounds.
Eye architecture across face types
Eight hours on hooded, monolid, almond, downturned, and prominent eyes.
Bridal — Egyptian context
Eight hours specifically on Egyptian bridal expectations: katb el-kitab, henna, white wedding, second day.
Editorial & photography
Eight hours of editorial concepting, lighting setup, and shooting your own portfolio.
The business of being a working MUA
Eight hours on pricing, contracts, refunds, the WhatsApp client funnel, and the studio-vs-home decision.

What graduates of Pro Track have said.
“I had been doing makeup commercially for two years before this. The Pro Track was the first time someone explained why my work was inconsistent.”
“I left with six portfolio looks shot in studio. My first paid bridal client booked off that portfolio within a month.”
The questions we get most.
No. We interview every applicant before accepting. Apply through the form and Noha will schedule a call.
Apply for the next Pro Track cohort.
Every applicant hears back from Noha personally within 48 hours. We do not run mass enrolments — each cohort is small and selected on fit.
