Hot summer makeup trends for 2017
What kind of makeup school would we be if we didn’t educate you on the latest trends in our industry?

Summer is always a fantastic and fun time for makeup artists everywhere, and is, perhaps, our favourite season as it is always certain to boast a hugely eclectic mix of makeup styles.

I have just completed the 8 week IMA make up course. I visited a few make up schools around London and I knew the London school of make-up was definitely the one I wanted to do after visiting. I really loved the structure of the course, the first two weeks we were taught from scratch and after that we had a different variety of make-up artists everyday teaching us their skills. I feel like I have come away with all the best professional techniques and ideas! – Chelsey Barnett
Truly enjoyed the 4-week course at The London School of Make Up. Learned new techniques from lovely instructors and gave me a good overview about the industry and how to get started as a make-up artist. 🙂 – Jesy Angeli
