Advanced Fashion Course - 6 Weeks
Take your fashion make-up skills to a new level with our advanced 6-week course in fashion make-up.
It is a pre-requisite for this course that you must either have taken the Basic Make-up and Basic Fashion courses with us at Delamar or be able to provide us with evidence of sufficient experience. This is for your benefit as well as for the other students on the course.
What you'll learn
You'll examine all areas of fashion make-up in depth, as well as learning the latest creative techniques and trends. Learning is through a combination of tutor demonstrations and workshops. The course ends with a final assessed fashion shoot with a professional photographer and models to provide you with a fashion photo to add to your portfolio.
"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."

"Just thought I'd let you know how fantastic the 'Sex and Drugs and Rock n' Roll' filming was. We got to make up and maintain the extras which was just so fab as they were all for the 70's pub scene. It was just so much fun and I feel like I learnt sooo much. It was brilliant! We're both going back for more days which is great but a huge 'thank you' to you for getting me there!"
