Course Description

This exciting new combination course combines two intensive days of professional day and evening make-up skills, leading to an IMA qualification, followed by a day of European bridal make-up techniques and two days of Asian, and Arabic bridal training. The course is both a combination of demonstrations and hands-on workshops.

Day 1 & 2
The first two days will cover intensive, hands-on make-up skills, providing basic training in professional make-up artistry in day and evening looks and working towards the IMA (International Make-up Association) industry qualification.

Day 3
The third day will go through European bridal looks and techniques, including how to conduct a consultation with the bride-to-be and choosing the correct colours for the occasion.

Day 4 & 5
Days four and five concentrate purely on the modern Asian and Arabic bride and takes you through registry and engagement looks, wedding day make-up, and different eye techniques – including cut crease, double winged eyeliner and stack lashes.

The course is suitable for:

Beginners who wish to learn all the basic skills in professional make-up artistry or those who wish to refresh or update their present skills. You will be working in a professional make-up studio and taught by working make-up artists. The course is balanced between theory, demonstrations and hands-on practical workshops. No previous experience is necessary for this work.

The course is aimed towards those who are looking to make a full-time career within the bridal make-up industry environment.

What happens after the 5-day IMA training course?

Following five days of intensive training, students will complete an at-home study program using the course notes provided and complete a training portfolio of evidence – including a practical and written assignment – plus approximately 15 make-up looks to complete on family and friends. This required homework covers the first three days of the course (foundation level)

You will be asked to come back for one day once you have completed your portfolio work (We estimate this work can take up to 2 Months to complete). Then, you can take the practical exam and multiple choice theory paper. Only once you have completed the home study programme can you come back to school and take practical examination.

On completion of the programme, you will receive an industry-recognised qualification through the IMA (International Make-up Association).

For all make-up courses, you will require your own set of professional make-up brushes and brush dry-cleaner (not included).

Cleaning and Maintenance of the brushes

Metal box with a content of 40 g

Our special soap for cosmetic brushes, based on vegetable oils, and comes in a practical round metal box. Through its reconditioning action, it keeps natural hair and synthetic fibres smooth and elastic. Your cosmetic brushes can feel damaged, especially if the product remains in the body of the hair and the remaining cosmetics become hard. This can take away the suppleness and make the hair break.

For regular maintenance, i.e. washing out all make-up residues, is recommended so we especially developed a cleaning soap which is based on pure vegetable oils with reconditioning effect.

Cared for in this way the brush hair will retain its elasticity and remains robust and smooth for a long time.
