How do I start a bridal makeup artist career?

To begin your bridal makeup artist career a course which teaches you both day and night looks will be the best place to start. This will aid you to cater to any brides’ needs. As no bride is the same, they will all have varying desires and needs. Some will want a soft and natural look, while others will want a dramatic smokey eye and bold lip. You need to be able to provide what the bride requests, but also have the knowledge to suggest ideas, as some may need guidance on what you can achieve together and will suit them best.

Our Level 2 Cosmetic Makeup Course will provide you with all these skills, as you not only learn how to apply makeup and create different looks, you are also taught how to cater to different face shapes and skin types.
