"After working for Estee Lauder for over two years, I knew I had a passion for make-up; the question was how and where to take this further. I wanted to find a reputable course covering numerous aspects of make-up and hair. I also wanted to be taught by established tutors in a small class environment. The 'Complete Make-up Artist' Course was the solution for me. Since graduating, a combination of the skills I learnt from the course and work experience opportunities supplied by Delamar have enabled me to enter into the Film and TV industry - I have worked on 'Spooks', as well as many commercials, pop promos for MTV, and short films."
