Make Up - Certificate needed for insurance?

[tigerlily]

Hiya just wondered if you have to have a certificate in make up to do make up on clients?? I wonder whether my insurance would cover make up application if I didn't have a certificate in it? I want to add make up as a service for bridal clients so with nails hair and tanning I have a complete package.
Hoping for some advice.... thanks :o xxxx

Unfortunately we have to have a certificate/qualification in everything we do on paying clients.If someone reacted to a product you used you wouldn't be covered.

this question is answered on all 3 of these well respected makeup schools websites



Academy of Freelance Makeup



see question 2

The Make Up School London - FAQ?s ? fashion qualifications ? one week intensive make up course ? editorial make up ? make-up industry





FAQ - London Make-Up Academy



also the gemma kidd makeup school and many other well known makeup schools only issue certificates of attendance, not a qualification in itself

Thanks both of you for your answers :hug:
So it seems from the Academy of Freelance make up that you do not actually need certification. In the industry it seems just a natural flair is required and then if wanting to further your skills - a course. But the courses are not a requirement to practice make up on clients. Or this is what I am reading on the sites.
I will check this with my insurance company though...xxx
