ok this is gonna sound weired i have just enroled at college to do a beauty therapist course and wondered if there are any make up heads that you can practice on at home ( like the nails trainer for nails)

never saw one hun, i would practise on the girls at college , thats what we did ,

thanks hun did you do the beauty therapist course how hard is it? im also doing the facial electronics

yeah thats what i did , its not too bad apart from when you start doing the endocrine system and stuff that gets a bit , and i will warn you the case studies will do your head in , they did me any way, lol
whos your teacher ?? and what day are you in ??

cant remember who my teacher is but i am doing mon and wed 6-9 and sunday 10-4.30 what qualifications did you get and how did you find the training?

Hi,
Try semi-permanent make-up websites or suppliers..techs have practise heads..they supply techs with them when they are training.
Good Luck

they are the nights i did , i bet you will have debbie as a teacher, shes nice , you get the itec qualification in beauty (level2) and facial electrics(level 3)

GUTTED, we didnt do make up on our beauty (level 2) course last year can you belive it !

I REALLY WANT to get into it too!

If you need any help if its vtct level 2 i may be able to help....then again i may not !

Hardest i found was health and safety acts and stuff, and the a&p, bones, blood flow, etc etc.

LOVED it though got my brain working again ANd i got THERAPIST of the YEAR WHOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AMb x

god i cant believe you never did make up on your course, thats a bit pants aint it i did an advanced make up day at college and that was great loads better than what we were taught

I really wish that make-up was on the course too! didn't really get an answer to why it wasn't either did we amb! apart from no one liked doing it!!

i found facials the hardest...so much detail to it!

still on the look out for a good make up course!

xx

well if anyone knows any DECENT courses....my ears are open ive found ones for £300+ up to £5000

I just want a one day ! or short college course

Amb x

mine is £1000 for the course (which i wont have to pay as we are on working tax) and £300 for the make up and beauty kit but was gutted as had to pay 90 for the uniforms even though i have my own tunics lol

I did makeup and that was the only part of the course I didnt enjoy - dont know why as I DO wear makeup!

Probably best to practise on friends and family. When they are going out, just offer to do their makeup for them. Bet they will love it.

The course is not too difficult. If its a daytime course, then it can be sometimes difficult for people to be your model as they might be working.

Just try and keep up with the theoretical side of things, all your project and so on and you'll be fine.

Its a fab course, enjoy! xx

yeah hun and if you need a model i will come in and help ya , i thought you were doing the full time course though with electrolosys (sp) i am thinking of going back and doing the electrolosis, but hate needles so dont know if i dare !!! might do the holistic side though but it will have to wait till baby comes coz i am too shattered at the mo stroll on april , lol. like has been said above keep on track with your case studys coz i ended up doing mine at the last minute and they are horrendus especially the facial electrics ones,
r u doing the nails course aswell , coz i thought you were

LCN sell practice heads for permanent makeup so you could try that - but better to do it on the real thing to get the blending right (the thought of this takes me back to when I used to ruin my Sindy dolls with makeup lol!)

LCN do a one day makeup course. It's really meant as a precursor to the permanent makeup course, but they do it for trained therapists too I believe. I did a year at college doing Level 2 cosmetic makeup, and I can honestly say that I learned more in makeup techniques in that one day with Teresa at LCN than I did in a whole year at college (too much focus on tinting and perming and not enough on makeup). Not sure how much it is, but their training is usuually pretty reasonable www.beautyconcepts.co.uk. This is the direct link to the course http://www.beautyconcepts.co.uk/make...p?SeminarID=31

Then of course I think Designer Nails through the ABC range are offering makeup courses, but I don;t know anything about them.
