Week Three the primary focus is on makeup for fashion and photography; however, we will be covering several topics that are important for all specialties of makeup applications, not just fashion photography. For example: we get a little deeper into "Color Theory and Mixology" in this class. This is knowledge that all makeup artsits need no matter what specialty they choose but it is covered in this class. After completing this week (one day in classroom and weekly homework assignments) you will have a complete understanding of the basics of makeup for commercial photography (for billboards, magazines, advertisements, etc..) as well as fashion photography such as the fashion layouts you see in magazines; a clear understanding of testing and building your portfolio. You will also be scheduled for a free test with a photographer and a model after completing this week. See curriculum outline below for more of what is covered in our PowerPoint Presentation and your Workbook during this week.
