At Makeup School Sydney you will learn that the most expensive is not always the best and that sometimes quite cheap makeup is as good as the most expensive.

Makeup for catwalk modeling is slightly different from fashion modeling.
The Makeup Artist always first consults with the clothes’ Fashion Designer to see what “look” he or she has in mind. In the catwalk situation, the models are on stage and are some distance from the audience. The lights are also very bright. The makeup has to stand out more and therefore the colors need to be a little stronger and bolder. Generally, a little more powder may be used to remove any shine from the hot, bright lights. Jay Jay is a fully qualified makeup teacher and teaches these approaches to makeup at the Makeup School Sydney.

Makeup technique is more influenced by the look of the hair, rather than the style. Clients often indicate a particular hair color that they like. The Makeup Artist considers this and the color of the eyes and then formulates both a hair ‘look’ and a palette of colors for the makeup. Jay Jay is also a Hair Stylist with 23 years experience. She teaches how makeup is influenced by a hair in the Makeup School Sydney course.

Once you have completed Apply and Design Makeup from Makeup School Sydney, you have the accreditation and skill to work in any area where makeup is required, except Special FX makeup.
There are two different types of work possible in beauty makeup.
In the fashion industry, Makeup Artists prepare models for still photography, TV commercials, magazine and catalogues, fashion events and catwalk shows.
In the wedding makeup industry, the Makeup Artist prepares the bride and wedding party with a superior wedding makeup for the ceremony. The wedding industry is consistently busy and offers good remuneration for Makeup Artists.
Most Makeup Artists work in both fashion and weddings. Both require the same knowledge and practice of beauty hair and makeup. At Makeup School Sydney, Jay Jay also provides information about the fashion industry and advice on how to set up your own makeup business.
