We completed our hot stone practical assessment Monday morning and Salon Day filled our afternoon with some much needed hands on experience. Its last week of term, and quite a few of our classmates have come down with the flu. Every student has worked hard this semester and it’s a great feeling to now see…
This week we moved onto Avonte Garde Make Up. Avonte Garde ranges from the bizarre to the beautiful and each make-up artist usually has their own twist so it’s always interesting to see what look they will create. The look is more likely to be seen on the runway or pages of a fashion magazine. …
Wow! What a week – we stepped it up a notch (or two) and completed a Big, Bright, and Bold fashion look (statement). The fashion look is all about clean lines, bold colours, no blending, the dramatic, etc. We learned basic, and advanced smoky eye techniques, and used clean lines to create perennially chic cat-eyes. It…
Last week, we covered the theory behind ‘Design and Apply make-up’ including the opportunity to apply makeup on each other using the new techniques we’d learnt. Some of my classmates are absolute naturals at make-up application while some of us had a bit of a giggle at the ‘clown’ face we created on our model.…
Practical assessment first up on Monday morning on skills learnt over the past couple of weeks including Yasmin Eye, Foundation, Smokey Eye, 3D or regular lip, evening look, lip line.

Huge Monday morning…probably one of our biggest modules ‘Body Structures and Systems’ assessment first up. I know that this one we’ve had to put a lot of study in and a few of us have been a little stressed about this one! The positive, we are coming closer to another break, and closer to the…

Week 3 It’s been another awesome, yet busy, week in the course. This week we really cranked up the hands on experience which was great but we all need to focus on the basics at this point to build a good foundation for more complex/advanced scenarios. We kicked of the week by doing a bit…
Back to Monday morning Assessments – this week we kicked off with Skin Therapies Framework Written Assessment. I’ve found that by paying attention in class, completing the activities and applying it practically, and a light read through the night before more than enough to get me across the line. We had a special guest speaker…
This week was focused mainly on the eyes, eye socket, eye lashes, eyeliner etc… We started the week with learning the Socket Eye Technique, a classic look that involves defining the natural socket of the eye. We learnt the art of Curling Lashes and how a proper curl can make lashes look longer, thicker, fuller,…
Wow! What a week – we stepped it up a notch (or two) with lots of hands on learning. We kicked of the week with some revision of the primary, secondary & tertiary colours and quickly moved on to discussing body types (Mesomorphs v Ectomorphs v Endomorphs). Zeroing in on the lips we looked at…
No exam Monday morning…score! Instead, we spent it revising and recapping the great stuff we covered last week. After a discussion on Wet & Dry room we watched a demonstration of Bed Layering, and followed that up with a Body Scrub and Mask demonstration. Tuesday, after a recap, we joined up in pairs we performed…
This week we are learning about postures and how a poor posture can put strain on the various muscles from the neck through the back and even the hamstrings…and everything inbetween! The different postures included ‘Flat Back Posture’, ‘Military Type Posture’, ‘Sway Back Posture’, and ‘Kyphosis Lordosis Posture’. We identified that the ideal segment alignment…

This week it has been all about massage and we have been loving it! We learnt about the benefits of massage and gained an understanding of the skeletal and muscular system.

Two weeks of glorious holidays and we are back into the swing of things. On our first day back and there were a couple of new faces which was great! We played the ‘Get to Know You’ game which gave us all the opportunity to meet the new students. We kicked things (the learning) off…
Last week of Term 2, I’m half way through my Diploma and I’m so happy with the progress that I’ve made. Our Salon Day has been getting busier and busier thanks to a bit of radio and facebook advertising. Last week we started a new module on Safe Work Practices and a nice little surprise…
I can’t believe that this is our last week! We have come so far and learnt so much during our time here at Demi International Beauty Academy. We are finishing off our workbook modules on business which covers all the elements (at a high level) that are required to run a business. The rest of…
This week we moved onto the hip and pelvis. Pain in the hip and pelvis can cause serious discomfort. Biomechanical problems in other regions of the body can be the cause of these problems. We learnt how to identify Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (which produces pain in a region similar to the referred pain pattern from…
Here we are at week 7 already and only 2 weeks left until I’m qualified! I’ve had some time to reflect about the past 6 months and just how much content we’ve covered AND how much I’ve learnt. The course has covered so much and given us exposure to the many directions a career in…

Mondays just keep on getting bigger and bigger! We kicked off this week with a written and practical assessment on all the theory we learnt last week on Microdermabrasion. I’m not sure if it’s the way I want to start my week but I’m super happy it’s done! In the afternoon we had our first…
We had the hugest Monday filled with written and practical assessment of the new techniques gained in last week’s module on Advanced Facials…I’m fairly confident that I scraped through. Talking about scraping, this week we are learning how to use the Micro Dermabrasion tool. Think of a tiny vacuum that sucks dead skin cells into…
We have been very busy preparing for upcoming clinic and our final round of massage technique is centered on Sports Massage. Each sport or activity has its own specific muscle groups that need attention and care. Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event,…

Over the past couple of weeks we have continued our journey through the different time periods of make-up, traveling from the 1800’s to the 1920s all the way through to the 80s. We have been smashing out all the different looks to cover both make-up and hair and now we are doing a full review…
