Make-up Application 2-day Course

Leave this course as a professionally-trained, confident and up-to-date Make-up Artist

Having mastery with make-up is a very valuable skill that can bring many unexpected benefits to your business. You can ‘complete the look’ for your clients, or offer it as a separate service. It creates possible new introductions to clients who may return for further services. And it also enables you to increase profit margins through product sales.

The Aston+Hayes Make-up Application Course covers the essential theory and practice of selecting and applying full up-to-date day make-up, evening make-up, and how to give make-up lessons to clients.
