We all love make-up-especially at this time of year! Who doesn’t want their makeup flawless for those Christmas events? But it is often not an easy task if you are not familiar with products, brushes or the techniques used for that flawless look that every client desires.
YouTube and Instagram are unlimited ever-popular platforms for budding makeup enthusiasts-but from a professional makeup artist’s viewpoint, I believe that many YT and IG posters are often incredible at their own makeup looks, but have minimal experience when it comes to applying it on another’s face. I often wonder what happens when they try and recreate looks on mature skin, dark complexions, or Asian eyes instead of the familiar planes and features of their own face.
Are they competent at their craft when it comes to actually apply makeup on a client? It is something to consider when looking for direction in the art and profession of the makeup artist.
To some, who live and breathe the glittering and enchanted walls of Mecca and Sephora and have a passion and desire to learn about the world of the makeup industry- my advice after thirty years in the trade is to get your qualifications happening. It is a competitive industry at the best of times, and with social media pumping out a thousand and one wannabe artists, an accredited and recognised certificate will have you ahead in the industry from the get-go.
You could be doing your own Christmas themed makeup on your own clients this time next year with one of our beauty therapy courses which all contain two amazing and extensive make-up units. From the very core MUA basics everyone needs to start with, to the application of high definition photography make-up, these courses are ideal entry qualifications into this wonderful and creative industry.
Our courses start at Certificate II level, popular with our VET in schools, with our SHB20216 Certificate II in Salon Assistant and SHB20116 Certificate II in Retail Cosmetics. SHB30315 Certificates III in Nail Technology, SHB30115 Certificate III in Beauty Services, SHB40115 Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy and SHB50115 Diploma of Beauty Therapy are just some of the accredited courses the COE offers which include not one, but two professional and accredited makeup units as part of their packages.
And whilst we are on the subject, don’t forget the COE students would love you to book your Christmas Make-up with them! With our divine selection of professional cosmetics from Kryolan and Gorgeous cosmetics, you will love the looks our students can create. And because it’s so affordable, our student makeup artists are super busy, so book today so you don’t miss out!
Or if you have someone you wish to spoil for the festive season, our Christmas gift vouchers are the perfect present to pamper your special someone who deserves spoiling.
Merry Christmas from us and ours to you and yours!
