The Masterclass
Master the artistry.
Elevate your technique.
Join celebrity makeup artist and global educator Lauren D'Amelio Ventre for an intimate, live professional makeup masterclass designed for artists who are ready to refine their technique, strengthen their decision-making behind the brush, and take their artistry to the next level.
Understand the WHY behind every step — not just the how.
Live Education
An intimate class of 50 artists
This isn't about memorizing one makeup look. It's about learning how to think like an artist.
You'll learn how Lauren analyzes the face in front of her, chooses products and textures intentionally, determines placement, builds dimension, creates balance and makes adjustments throughout an application to create a polished, modern result that enhances rather than masks.

About Lauren
With nearly two decades behind the brush, Lauren D'Amelio Ventre has become a trusted artist not only for countless brides and celebrity clients, but for some of the beauty industry's most recognizable names. Her artistry has been trusted by beauty powerhouses including Carli Bybel, Glamzilla, Lilly Ghalichi, Leyla Milani, Valentino Beauty and e.l.f. Beauty, as well as fellow professional hair and makeup artists who have chosen Lauren for one of the most photographed and important days of their own lives: their wedding day.
There is a different level of trust that comes with being chosen by the very people who understand the artistry, technique and details behind exceptional makeup. Lauren has built that trust through an approach rooted in intentional placement, individualized enhancement and longevity — never simply recreating the same look, but understanding the face in front of her and knowing exactly WHY, WHERE and HOW to enhance it.

Creating a flawless, radiant complexion

Facial & eye assessment

Liner & lash placement
How subtle adjustments in liner and lash selection can lift, elongate, balance or reshape the appearance of the eye.
Strategic layering for longevity
How to layer and set products so the application works as one cohesive system and is designed to withstand a full day, event or wedding.
Creating a cohesive, camera-ready finish
Bringing every element of the application together so the complexion, eyes, brows, cheeks and lips complement rather than compete with one another.
Inside Lauren's professional kit
The products, brushes and tools Lauren currently relies on in her professional work and why they've earned a place in her kit.
