The Essential Advanced Fashion course

4 weeks of intensive training in the most professional fashion & beauty make-up techniques

Where make-up careers begin.

The Delamar Academy Essential Advanced Fashion course is industry recognised as a provider of great fashion, beauty and commercial Make-up Artists. Graduates have worked on fashion week shows, red carpets and advertising campaigns.

Learn it all.

This make-up course is all about learning the skills necessary to work professionally as a make-up artist in the beauty, commercial, light entertainment music and fashion industries. 

The fashion industry employs artists not only for their skillset, but for their taste and perspective. For this reason, we include lots of fashion and historical reference to develop the students’ knowledge.

Glam commercial styles are taught alongside more stripped-back, editorial techniques. Successful and employable Make-up Artists need a broad skillset to start their career.

Graduates from this course have gone on to work successfully in the industry, some with coveted agency representation in London, New York and Paris. 

Students have the option of taking a 4 week (The Essential Advanced Fashion) or 6 week course (Advanced Fashion) with us, which provides one or two photoshoots, respectively. Our photoshoots are produced to the highest standard with London’s leading model agencies and fashion photographers. These images are for the student’s portfolios to help them get work.
