This is the next step forward from The Professional Make-Up Artist and is ideal for developing skills in the art of fashion/photographic and catwalk make-up.

You will be taught by a professional make-up artist who will show you their porfolio of published work and explain how to achieve the latest high fashion photographic looks.

Fashion make-up is an exciting, fast-paced aspect of make-up artistry.  Trends change very quickly from season to season.  You will receive demonstrations from an experienced make-up artist who will teach you how to adapt your techniques accordingly.  You will learn how to provide creative and distinctive looks for catalogues, magazines and high-fashion publications under the guidance and constructive critique of your tutor.

The second part of the course focuses on catwalk make-up.  As the make-up needs to be noticed from a distance, the look is dramatic and striking; very different from the high-precision techniques required for fashion/photographic effects.  You will learn everything from natural through to dramatic looks to enhance and complement a model's outfit.

In summary, you will learn:

• Tools and hygiene
• Exploring the unique environment of catwalk shows
• Skin analysis of different skin tones and face shapes
• Make-up application techniques
• Creative make-up effects suitable for magazines, catalogues and catwalks
• Specialist make-up for fashion and catwalk using strong colours, shapes and false eyelashes
• Make-up for black and white/colour photography

The highlight of your course will involve photographing your work and putting together a basic portfolio.  A portfolio is a book in which you keep photographs of all your work as a make-up artist.  The first step in finding work is developing a great portfolio you can show to potential employers.  For this we will provide models for you to work on.

Career options following this course include department store counter, bridal make-up, television work, film, television commercials, print, music videos, live performances, advertising material, fashion shows.
