This week has been so much fun – it’s all about the principals of stage make-up. We learnt how to effectively make a person’s skin ’age’ using creams (Aging with Cream) and put our theory into practice by applying a Lean (Skinny & Old) and Stout (Fat & Old) look to our fellow students. The…
We had the hugest Monday filled with written and practical assessment of the new techniques gained in last week’s module on Advanced Facials…I’m fairly confident that I scraped through. Talking about scraping, this week we are learning how to use the Micro Dermabrasion tool. Think of a tiny vacuum that sucks dead skin cells into…
In Term 1 we covered Facial Treatments and now we step it up a gear into the world of Advanced Facial Treatments. During this module we are learning the benefits of galvanic treatment which aims to improve the skin via an electro-chemical reaction. There are two types of treatments: iontophoresis; or desincrustation, say that 10…
Over the past couple of weeks we have continued our journey through the different time periods of make-up, traveling from the 1800’s to the 1920s all the way through to the 80s. We have been smashing out all the different looks to cover both make-up and hair and now we are doing a full review…

The break over Easter was soooo needed! Happy to be back and first up it’s a history lesson on 18th Century Make Up. What a fascinating period of Make Up for both men and women, yes that’s right men were well into not only pale white make up but also the use of wigs was…
The Easter break was fantastic, just what I needed…time to practice on family and friends! We kicked the term off with focusing on Neuromuscular techniques, or NMT. This technique manipulates the soft tissue of the body to balance the central nervous systems. We learnt that injury or trauma; even stress can inhibit this balance making…
After a very relaxing couple of weeks off we are right back in the thick of it (literally) kicking off the term with female intimate waxing. We have been learning the process from preparing the client before their treatment, ensuring that a shower is part of it, no moisturisers or creams have been applied, and…
