I am currently doing the VTCT fashion and photographic make up course. It runs for a year, one evening a week for 3 hours. We had to do a 12 week cosmetic course which covered cleanse, tone, moisurise, eyelash and brow tinting, eyebrow shaping and application of individual and strip eyelashes. To complete this part of the course we had to have 4 assessments in each section before we passed.
We have just now started the make up one and we will be covering corrective makeup, ie. highlighting, concealing and shading, day, evening, bridal, black & white photographic, colour photographic and period make up. We have a total of 7 assessments to do from each of the makeup sections covering 5 different face shapes and 3 different skin types. We also have plenty of written assignments to do and an exam in health and safety.
I am absolutely loving the course and the reason for me to do it is to offer make up sessions in our salon and to be able to add it to our bridal package. Already have clients that come in for the lash and brow tint and brow shaping. I am really getting into the beauty side of things and would love to do more courses when I have finished this one.
