Professional Make Up Johannesburg
Professional Make Up Opportunities in Johannesburg and Worldwide
Although we may just have passed the halfway mark of 2015, it’s never too late to enrol for a professional make up course at our beauty, make up design and special effects school, located at two campuses, one each in Parktown, Johannesburg and Helderkruin, Roodepoort.
Our next open day will take place in Johannesburg on 24 October 2015, giving you and your sponsor the ideal opportunity to visit, see the campus and school, and explore all the opportunities on offer to you in the beauty field, including the immensely interesting, challenging and rewarding disciplines of professional make up, its uses and applications.
Professional Cosmetics Products
Professional cosmetics products are those which deliver superior, visible results once applied correctly. They are generally superior to those purchased at most retail outlets, giving enhanced coverage, amplified effects, and lasting longer without any or with very minimal touch ups, even under trying or extreme conditions, such as bright spotlights or photographic lights and hot, humid or frosty, moist or dry conditions.
