COURSE

OVERVIEW

This technical based course will prepare you with all the required skills to work in the media, fashion and photographic industry. The course is designed to allow you to express your own creative flair for applying make-up and creating your own image.
You will gain the practical skills to airbrush make-up to your client’s face, develop images and designs to fit in the fashion and photographic industry and develop effective communication in the workplace, as well as the application of prosthetic pieces and bald caps.
You will also have the opportunity during your studies to advance your skills in styling and fitting a postiche and camouflage make-up. You will also focus on client care so you are able to adopt a client-centred approach to all designs and treatments.
You will be able to learn within our purpose-built hairdressing and beauty salons stocked with all the essentials to create your desired looks. Our salons are open to the public, so you will be working within a professional environment from the start of your course. Students will practice on real clients and may also practice treatments on other students on the same course at Kirklees College.
