All make-up and brushes will be supplied for use during the class time.
A set of handouts covering all the teachings during the course will be given to each student for future reference.

Our make-up course has been designed to teach from the very basics of contemporary and special occasion make-up, through to photographic, editorial and HDTV. This course is ideal for those with no professional make-up experience as we teach from the basic skills through to more advanced and dramatic make-up techniques.

We have carefully selected a mixture of products and brushes for students to use from leading commercial brands such as MAC and Shu Uemura through to more specialist industry products. Students will be introduced to a mixture of different brands and products throughout the course along with information on specialist industry make-up shops and suppliers.
