Malaysia is ready. The question is — who's going to own this space?

Korean Color Analysis is exploding globally — but most training is designed for Korean and East Asian skin tones. Southeast Asia is a completely different story. Malay, Chinese, Indian, mixed heritage — we have one of the most diverse colour landscapes in the world.

This certification takes the Korean methodology and adapts it for our market. You'll learn to read undertones across the full spectrum of Southeast Asian skin — warm, cool, olive, neutral — from the lightest to the deepest.

You don't need a beauty background to do this — Steph didn't have one either. She came from corporate and aviation before building a thriving colour analysis business. Some of the best colour analysts started as teachers, accountants, full-time parents. And honestly? If you can follow a recipe, you can do this. We'll give you the rest.

The Curriculum

What's inside the CPCS Certification

Day 1

Foundations

Korean Color Analysis theory adapted for Southeast Asian diversity. The 12-season system, undertones across Malay, Chinese, Indian and mixed skin tones, lightness & saturation. A rock-solid foundation in colour science built for our market.

Day 2

Draping

Hands-on practice with real subjects. Draping technique, identifying seasons confidently, and learning to trust your trained eye.

Day 3

Makeup, Exam & Certification

Makeup application for each season, followed by your certification exam. Pass and you'll receive your CPCS certificate, issued by Glow Up with SG, in a proper presentation — you've earned it.

Half-Day Online

Build Your Business

A dedicated online session on turning your certification into a real business — pricing, packaging, marketing, getting your first clients. This is part of the certification, not an add-on.

Ongoing

Mentorship & Community

Monthly online get-togethers with your batch and the wider CPCS community. Ask questions, get feedback on real clients, and grow together — community over competition. This doesn't end.

Includes full workbook, worksheets, makeup guidance, certification exam, half-day business session, ongoing monthly mentorship, and lifetime community access. Community over competition.

This is for you if…

  • You have zero beauty experience — and that's completely fine. We teach you everything from scratch.
  • You've watched a colour analysis video and thought "I could do this"
  • You're a stay-at-home parent, teacher, student, or career changer looking for something creative and flexible
  • You're a makeup artist, stylist, or beauty professional wanting to add a premium service
  • You're a corporate professional ready to pivot into something meaningful
  • You want real certification and ongoing mentorship — not just a course and then you're on your own

This is NOT for you if…

  • You're looking for a quick-money scheme — this takes real work and practice
  • You're not willing to put in reps after training — certification is earned, not handed out

Stephenie — Founder of Glow Up with SG

Meet Stephenie

Founder of Glow Up with SG and one of Kuala Lumpur's most sought-after color analysts. Stephenie didn't come from a beauty background — she was a Singapore Airlines stewardess and bank manager before discovering colour analysis and falling completely in love with it. She's now an MCCEA-Certified Color Director, holds a UK image consulting qualification, is an HRD Corp Accredited Trainer, and has served over 1,000 clients across Malaysia and beyond.

She built the CPCS program because she was tired of watching talented Malaysians fly overseas for certifications that didn't fit the local market. This is a real certification path, built for here, taught by someone doing the work every single day.

Frequently asked questions

Not at all — and we really mean that. Our students come from all walks of life: teachers, corporate professionals, stay-at-home parents, fresh graduates, career changers. If you love colour and you're willing to learn, you belong here. We teach you everything from zero. No prior experience, no portfolio, no beauty diploma needed. Just bring your curiosity.
This isn't a personal colour analysis session — it's a professional certification. You'll learn how to analyse others, run your own sessions, and build a business around it. Plus, you're trained locally with ongoing mentorship and a community behind you — not left on your own after a course overseas.
There is no single global accreditation body that governs personal color analysis — certifications in this field are awarded by individual training providers and certified analysts worldwide. Your CPCS certificate is issued by Glow Up with SG, taught by Stephenie — an MCCEA-Certified Color Director (Korea) and HRD Corp Accredited Trainer. The program is built on her experience with over 1,000 clients and adapts the Korean methodology for Southeast Asian skin tones and culture.
We're currently in the process of getting the certification to be HRD Corp claimable — it's coming soon. WhatsApp us if you'd like to be notified when it's available.
Maximum 4 people per batch. Intentionally small so you get real hands-on practice, personal feedback, and mentorship that actually means something — not a lecture hall experience.
Absolutely not. Mentorship is ongoing — not a countdown timer. You get monthly online get-togethers with your batch and the wider CPCS community. Ask questions, get feedback on real client situations, share wins. Community over competition — that's how we do it. Plus lifetime access to the CPCS community.
KL batches are held at our studio in Kuala Lumpur. Exact location details are shared once you're confirmed. For batches outside of KL, please check with us for the venue — just WhatsApp and we'll share the details.

Yes — we're flexible. We accept GrabPay Later, SPayLater, and credit cards. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll work something out that fits your situation. We don't want cost to be the thing that stops you — let's figure it out together.
