Bridal Makeup Workshop

When a bride makes her grand entrance, everyone turns to look at her. She may feel a little bit nervous but no one can tell because she looks exquisite. Her beauty should appear effortless, supported by her hairstyle, makeup and dress. As a makeup artist, you can take pride in the skills and effort you put into creating such wonderful memories for the bride. The first topic of this makeup tutorial introduces the equipment and products you will need to work with and recommends some brands. You will learn about skin preparation and the importance of completing makeup trials before the wedding day.

The next topic goes into detail on how to apply eyeshadow to the bride's eyes, including a step-by-step tutorial on creating the perfect ‘smokey’ look for an autumn wedding. We explain how to best prepare the eyelid for a smokey look and how to create that look using a variety of different colours and brushes. We then move on to complete the rest of the bridal look. This involves learning all you can about the products used, including brands we recommend and those we suggest you avoid.  

The second module in the course begins with lessons on customer service. Being the best makeup artist in your area can only take you so far: you need to hone your customer service skills to attract clients, retain them and earn referrals. Lastly, we discuss the practical side of running your own freelance business and outline the relevant including legal, tax and marketing considerations. We also provide tips and techniques to use when trying to fill out your kit without breaking the bank or going into debt. Running your own freelance bridal makeup business can be an incredibly rewarding career. Like any freelance job, once you earn a reputation as an amazing stylist with highly sought-after skills, you can become incredibly successful. Sign up to become a key part of someone’s special day!
