The foundations of industry employment

The Advanced Fashion course provides hands-on training for all the fashion & beauty makeup skills required to put you backstage at a fashion show, commercial shoot or red carpet glam-room.

Before applying for this course, we ask that you have completed the following Delamar courses or can demonstrate equivalent experience with basic fashion & beauty makeup. 

Delamar Academy Advanced Fashion develops your skills and your eye for fashion makeup. We teach a combination of period fashion looks, modern make-up trends and pay special homage to the greats such as Kevyn Aucoin and Pat McGrath. Such legendary artists have their own day where students recreate iconic looks using the same techniques. 

During these 6 weeks, we host a variety of top fashion artists to teach many technical areas including:

Graphic liner looks, facial adornment and embellishment, 1970s Disco Diva, 1920s Clara Bow, creative colour and texture work, editorial challenges , speed tests, full commercial looks, different skin finishes, catwalk inspired masks, nature inspired creative looks and editorial hair looks - essential for artists starting out as you will be asked to do hair on a job.

• Possess the practical skills to launch a career in the makeup artist industry

• Know how to research a subject and use relevant reference material to fulfil a makeup brief
