The Denver Masterclass
June 23, 2026 · Denver, Colorado
with Valeria Nichols & Ana Duric
A full day of talented artists, live bridal-glam demonstrations, hands-on practice, and real Q&A — a room full of makeup artists learning, growing, and inspiring each other. It wasn't just a masterclass; it was the beginning of something much bigger.
Masterclass Questions
Working and aspiring makeup artists. The room in Denver was all professionals, from artists building their first bridal client base to established ones sharpening technique. If you are looking to learn makeup for yourself rather than for clients, the private lessons page is the right fit instead.
No. Masterclasses are built for artists at any stage, and the hands-on practice is guided so newer artists are never left behind. What they assume is that you intend to work on clients.
Live bridal glam demonstrations, hands-on practice with direct feedback, skin prep for makeup that survives a full wedding day, and lash application. It also covers the parts most training skips: the client experience, consultations, pricing your work, and running the business side of artistry.
Yes. The Artistry Room, an online mentorship with filmed lessons, a private artist community and a monthly live call is coming, and the waitlist at vnartistry.com/mentorship hears first. One-on-one mentorship is also available, in person and remotely, built around your goals. That might be bridal skin prep, building a kit, working faster on a wedding morning, or pricing and growing your business.
Valeria is based in Scottsdale, Arizona and teaches across the greater Phoenix area. She also travels to host masterclasses in other cities, most recently Denver, Colorado in June 2026.
