Week Two the primary focus is on makeup for weddings; however, we will be covering several makeup application techniques that are important for all specialties of makeup applications, not just weddings. For example: lash enhancement is covered in this class but this is a skill that is needed for working in the fashion industry as well. After completing this week (one day in classroom and weekly homework assignments) you will have a complete understanding of: how to market yourself in the bridal market; how to handle the business end including accepting payments and giving receipts; how to schedule and conduct a trial run; lash enhancements; makeup for mature skin; grooming for men; and more.
