Media Make-up | 12 Week CourseStudents taking this course must already be trained and skilled with hair styling as all working Make-up Artists must be fully competent with hair. If you do not have any hair skills you should consider the 14, 16 or 24 week courses. This course offers intensive training in all skills relevant to professional make-up artistry within the media industry. We refer to “Media” as working in all areas such as fashion, TV, video, stage, special FX and film, so that the content and skills learnt are fully comprehensive and cover all areas. Students who train in this area are more likely to achieve successful careers as their skills/knowledge are more varied, meeting the demands of the media industry. Please read the full course content overview below for full details. In short, 12 week graduates will be multi skilled, offering beneficial gain to any employer. Another huge benefit on this course is portfolio week. Week 12 of this course is dedicated solely to the development of your portfolio (the most crucial factor in gaining your work). Each day of portfolio week will be your chance to exercise all skills learnt, and gain valuable experience in working with professional models and a photographer in a real studio environment to create numerous images, which you can proudly display in your portfolio. A typical day will be doing the make-up of one female model. The models are varied in age and race to provide your portfolio with as much variance as possible. We will also help you create a hairstyle to compliment your work. You will choose your model’s outfit with our guidance and work on set, maintaining your work and assisting the photographer. This experience is as real as being on a professional job and will give you confidence in this area when entering your career (see Portfolio). All of the days of portfolio week will be on location at a professional photography studio. 12 Week Media Make-Up Course Content OverviewWeek 1 Course introduction Foundations (light & layered fluids, creams & full cover, moisture & light coverage, powders & minerals) Shading and highlighting – creme & powder applications Eyebrow correction & applications No make-up look
