Felissimo to hold pro-led "Makeup Lesson for Grown-Ups" on October 3, with a more practical format and monitor participants wanted

Felissimo has announced that it will hold a professional "Makeup Lesson for Grown-Ups" on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at its headquarters in Sannomiya, Kobe.

In this course, using the French natural cosmetics brand ZAO, top hair and makeup artist Yusuke Nakamura, who is also active at events such as Kobe Collection, will serve as instructor. The course is designed to speak to the concerns of grown-up women and to teach, in person, the techniques that make "you, as you are now" shine the most.

This special course is an update of the makeup lesson held in June 2026 that was well received. In particular, the lesson has been restructured to increase the hands-on time in which participants do their own makeup, so they can learn more personalized techniques.

Along with the course, applications have opened for "monitor participants," who can attend at a special price. Monitor participants can join for ¥9,900 (tax included) instead of the regular price of ¥16,500 (tax included). A "pair discount: ¥18,700 (for 2 people)" is also available for joining as monitors with a friend or family member.

The conditions for monitors are as follows.

  • Photography cooperation: photos of the makeup process and the finished look

  • Real voices: cooperation with questionnaire responses and comment interviews

  • PR cooperation: appearing (with your face shown) on the Felissimo official website, in catalogs and elsewhere

In response to the voices of grown-up women who say, "I want to know what makeup really suits me now," this lesson has been improved to be more practical, with more time for participants to do their own makeup. The instructor, Yusuke Nakamura, is a director of MAKE OVER MAGIC JAPAN and a top hair and makeup artist active at Kobe Collection and other events.
