I am Jessica Lynn and I specialise in special effects makeup. I am self-taught and began doing this just over 5 years ago kind of by accident. It has become my passion and has taken me on a very colourful and exciting journey. My plan at Demi International is to bring SFX to life with my humour, passion and madness! There are no limits to what can be done with SFX and the ride it can take you on is filled with laughter, blood, guts, gore, glitter and creatures! I can guarantee there won’t be one boring moment as I am here to shake things up and show my students just how amazing the world of SFX can be!
Bree has completed a diploma in specialist makeup services as well as an international diploma in fashion, theatre and media makeup. Bree has also been recognised for her work as a state makeup artist for Cosmopolitan Models and the Miss World Australia state and national finals. Most recently with Village Roadshow Theme Parks, Bree had the opportunity to travel to China as the makeup design consultant and subject matter expert for the new Lionsgate Entertainment World theme park.
Danielle has had an exciting career working with both Australian and International film stars. She started in mainstream television studios on a freelance basis until she turned her attention to Drama. Specifically, one show sparked a love for special effects (All Saints) where she worked closely with nurses and the Art department and created all kinds of wounds, Limbs and operation scenes. She then completed further training with Rick Connelly FX studios and went on to assist him on both wolf creek 1 and 2. She has worked on Great Gatsby, Wolverine, Mad Max Fury Road to name a few more.
Sue Kim is very well-known in the makeup industry in Cairns. Her incredible special effects work, and photoshoots have given her a reputation as one of the best in the industry. Working with filmmakers, photographers and collaboratively for causes that matter.
For 25 years, Chad has worked professionally in the Los Angeles Special FX industry for film and television.

Diploma of Screen & Media Student Testimonials
Tahlia Kirk
Diploma of Screen and Media
Demi International Beauty Academy is a great school to study make up and beauty services. The Diploma of Screen and Media is a great course as you learn so many interesting make up facts and learn how to perfect your make up whether it be glamour make up or special effects. It is also great that they get guest speakers come into the class to show you products or how to create make up looks. The teachers are wonderful and are always there to help you along the way. Over the past year at school I have made some friends that I hope to have for life. I would recommend Demi International to anyone willing to start their career in freelance make up or special effects.
Ashleigh Smith
Diploma of Screen and Media (Toowoomba)
Michelle, I want to say thank you for being a great teacher/mentor/friend to me this year. I am grateful for all your hard work in helping me grow in many ways. You have been a great source of inspiration, motivation and guidance. I will miss our Tuesday classes at Demi! I wish you endless happiness and love.
Thank you xx
Bella Rose
Makeup Artistry
Studying at Demi International Beauty Academy was one of the best things I ever did for myself. I obtained a Diploma in Screen and Media in 2018 alongside some brilliant students and an amazing, informative and friendly teacher. Within 3 months I was already getting paid as a Makeup Artist working for myself and after 4 months I was hired as a HMUA for an award winning photographic studio. Two weeks after competing my diploma I was selected as the Makeup Director for Aura Makeup Australia and will be taking charge of the Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival. I am thrilled with my outcome and I owe it all to Demi International!
Melissa Christie
Diploma in Screen and Media (Makeup)
I recently completed my Diploma in Screen and Media (Makeup) at Demi International on the Sunshine Coast Campus in Maroochydore. This 12 month course has improved my skills so much. It wasn’t until I looked back of photos of my previous work and compared them to the end of the course to realise just how far I have come. Our teacher Stacey was so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and patient. The course covers every aspect of the makeup industry preparing you for the work force after course completion allowing you to decide on the direction you wish to take your makeup career. Since completing my diploma I have taken part in some amazing fashion shows such as Sunshine Coast Fashion week and also started my own successful freelance business catering to weddings and events. Without my new learned skills and confidence none of this would have been possible. I am so happy I chose to do this course; I’ve come out of it with so many news skills and also lots of new and supportive friendships. If you are looking at Studying makeup on the Sunshine Coast, look no further than Demi International!
