Are you passionate about make-up and looking for a qualification to take you to a professional level? If the answer is yes, then this is the course for you! Our Diploma in Make-up Artistry Level 3 will introduce you to a range of exciting make-up services. Sculpting prosthetic make-up for special effects is just one of the many aspects of this exciting course. Using fashion trends, social history, and cultural variety as your inspiration, you will use a range of materials to create spectacular and innovative personal projects. Let your mind whisk you away – and your hands follow!

What will I be doing?

This is a hands-on course and you will have the opportunity to get involved with a range of specialist make-up techniques. You will learn how to apply everyday, special occasion and bridal make-up. You will also learn how to create make-up for media, special effects, camouflage, photography and fashion shows. We will even show you how to apply airbrush make-up and small prosthetic pieces. You will also learn how to provide make-up lessons for clients.

In addition to practical training, you will also develop your knowledge and understanding of health and safety, client care and communication, and the promotion of products and services to clients.

Every January, we organise an Enrichment week full of workshops, talks and training activities. From Henna training and sessions on Airbrushing to visits from top makeup companies such as Benefit, our Enrichment week is an excellent opportunity for students to top up their skills and explore a range of new topics. We even offer trips to places such as the MAC studio at Birmingham’s Bullring and the IMATS show in London.
