This course is perfect for anyone who is interested in a career in TV and film make-up or wanting to progress in the industry and gain a higher accreditation and skill set.
You will cover many areas such as:
- Airbrushing

- Hair application
- Bald caps
- Ageing
- Dry hairstyling
- Body paint techniques
You will need to be creative, a great communicator, a team player, reliable and have an interest in current and historical fashions of hair and make-up.
It is important that you have a mature and professional attitude, as the hair and make-up profession is a highly demanding and disciplined one. In particular, you will be required to maintain high standards of personal and professional appearance, including wearing make-up to look presentable; piercings will not have to be covered.
Why study with us:
- We have great links with industry experts who come in as guest speakers and offer key industry advice and tips
- We have entered and won numerous national and regional competitions
- We work with internationally recognised make-up artists such as Karla Powell and Samantha Helen
