Professional Make-Up Artist Certificate

After learning how to do my own make-up from Sam I realised I had a real interest in make-up and decided to look into being a make-up artist. As I feel confident in her teaching I decided to take this course, and I am so pleased that I did! I really liked the level of detail and also the amount of practice I got during the training. I thought that I would end up with the skills but would need more time afterwards to feel confident enough to do other peoples make-up but Sam was really encouraging and the amount of practice I have had during the course means that I do feel ready. In fact I had my first client a week ago - scary but loved it! I am due to take the hair styling course later this month as I want to work as a freelancer for weddings and special occasions, am really looking forward to it. The professional picture that Sam sent me of my work was a really good stepping stone for me to be able to get my first client as I had an image of my work. I couldn't believe I had done it myself! I found the assessment really useful because I was able to revise what I had learnt but also, it gave me a taste of the feeling of doing a real client, which made me feel a lot more confident when I had my first real one. I looked at other courses but they only give you a certificate for attending the course, not from an assessment, and I have found that people are more confident to go with me as their make-up artist even though I am new to it, when I tell them that I have been assessed.
