Student Kits
To keep our fees low and at a very competitive rate, we do not include a student kit, products, tools and equipment in our fees. By doing it this way allows students to add to their basic required kit as they go along, using products they prefer. Also, all students must have their own kits to practise with while away from the college. Some products, tools & equipment will be available for use on the course but you are required to purchase these items to add to your own personal kit.
Blazing Sables have prepared a list of makeup kits, products & tools required for each of the courses that a student intends to cover. Many of the makeup kits are Kryolan & Ben Nye based (except for wigs & hair courses) and have been personally designed by us in association with our sponsors Charles Fox of Covent Garden London. We have secured an arrangement with Charles Fox for our students to receive an instant 10% discount and some freebees which are already added into the kit.
