Overview
What you will learn
The Understanding Undertones and Complexion for Makeup course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) will facilitate your understanding and advance your knowledge of the fundamentals for beauty makeup, bridal makeup and professional makeup. The tutor will create fresh beauty looks with an emphasis on understanding undertones and variations in complexions. There will also be a focus on correcting hyperpigmentation for deep melanated skin tones, golden brown complexions and fair or pale skin tones.
You will be guided through a series of practical hands-on sessions and photoshoots, allowing you to fully explore your creativity by creating a unique portfolio with the support of a professional photographer and hair stylist. You’ll also have the chance to engage with the tutor and consult on business, brand growth, beauty marketing, brand positioning and career guidance.
