What is the difference between makeup for fashion / catwalk & bridal?

There are two different types of work possible in beauty makeup.

In the fashion industry, Makeup Artists prepare models for photography, TV commercials, magazines and catalogues, gala fashion events and fashion parades.

In the wedding makeup  industry, the Makeup Artist prepares the bride and wedding party with a superior wedding makeup for the ceremony. The wedding industry is consistently busy and offers good remuneration for Makeup Artists.

Most Makeup Artists work in both fashion and weddings. Both require the same knowledge and practice of beauty and makeup.

Makeup courses are conducted over a short time frame. They are more intensive than others.

This enables students to quickly gain the qualifications and experience they need to practice beauty / fashion or wedding makeup. We offer only Design and Application Make-up and this is why our courses are shorter as they are mainly technique based.

During the course, Serena notes individual strengths and corrects weaknesses; so that every student completes the course with total competence in every aspect of beauty makeup.

Serena trains, using the top quality makeup products from Jane Iredale & Motives ( the equivalent of Mac, Bobby Brown & Chanel).
