Portfolios

The course includes one day of portfolio, where you will create looks on two female models.

Your portfolio is your main and essential tool for gaining work. All areas of media require a professional portfolio. You will work alongside professional modelling agencies, meaning that your make-ups will be done on professional fashion models and photographed by a professional fashion photographer in a real working studio.

School Of Make-Up is the only make-up training school that offer their students this facility to this level. Your portfolio is a crucial part of your career, meaning that when you leave you will be able to search for work immediately, showing each prospective employer your skills. Leaving without a portfolio will mean that you will have to struggle with photographers for test shots in order to develop a portfolio.
