Foundation Level Makeup Course

 

 

The IMA Foundation Certificate is the perfect course for all aspiring make-up artists. When learning the art it is imperative to know the basic and classic styles of make-up in order to progress your skills to more advanced or creative techniques.
During this Full or Part-time course, you will learn key stages to Make-up Artistry including Day Make-up, Evening, Soft Glam, Smokey Eyes, Vintage, Bridal, Contouring & Highlighting, makeup for all skin tones, ages, including mother of the bride, individual lashes, colour theory, business, social media & freelance advice, health & safety, skin analysis plus all the fundamental application techniques.

Your teacher will guide you through each process, enabling you to become competent in make-up to Bridal Artistry level, Cosmetic Retail Artistry and/or Freelance Make-up.

Our courses are designed to be less theoretical and more ‘hands-on’ meaning delegates will be practicing their new skills and looks daily, working on each other during afternoon workshops after a morning of demonstrations by specialist, fully teacher trained make-up lecturers. At the end of your course you will be examined by an International Make-up Association Examiner to gain the prestigious IMA qualification.

This is our most popular course for those wishing to take up a professional career in make-up, however it can be taken in sections over a period that suits the individual.

 The first three weeks will take you through the same techniques and curriculum as set out in the foundation and hair section. Weeks four and five will cover creative makeup, heavily based in fashion and photography.  Weeks six to ten will reduce to 3 days a week and cover special effects and period makeup.

Learning covered also offer monochrome make-up (black and white photographic work), session hair styling, media make-up, air brushing, fantasy, ballet, period and special effects, burlesque and body painting.  At the end of the course you will also work on a professional model from an agency with a leading fashion photographer in a studio creating both a colour shoot and black & white (monochrome) look.

The photographs from this shoot will be provided to you to you towards the end of the course so that you can start up your own portfolio.
