Learn the techniques employed by professional makeup artists working in advertising and editorial. Students will learn how to work on set, design makeups that can be used in fashion or editorial, and learn what a professional photographer requires to create imagery that stands out from the rest.

Included in the training will be a simulation of a real photoshoot where you get to practice your attention to detail. Makeup during photography is seen as a snapshot.

In this course, your aim is to achieve flawless and perfect makeup, so there is little or nothing to change in the picture.
