MASTER BRIDAL MAKE-UP

MASTER BRIDAL MAKE-UP

5-Days specialization masterclass in Bridal Make-Up


Theoretical lessons, practical exercises on models, and insights into new products and make-up trends are all part of achieving, improving or perfecting the technical, practical, and managerial skills necessary for creating a technically flawless Bridal Make-Up and obtaining professional specialization in Bridal Make-Up.


The educational program is designed based on the analysis of real experiences shared by the most influential and active professionals in the field. It's structured to provide students with the essential knowledge and skills to offer a truly contemporary and comprehensive professional service that is sophisticated and high-quality. Besides meeting the photographic needs and wearability of the make-up, it aims at managing the client from the moment of contact, the so-called "dreaded" makeup trial, a critical moment for establishing and consolidating a relationship of trust, and a key element to clearly and unequivocally differentiate oneself from increasingly fierce and widespread competition.



Problem-solving, pragmatic work planning, technical and managerial expertise, and years of experience in the field are the fundamental pillars of an educational philosophy aimed at training expert and qualified professionals. These professionals are capable of providing excellent professional services to meet a highly competitive market with growing demand, characterized by increasingly informed and demanding customers. These clients are inclined to compare and evaluate different proposals before choosing the professional who will make their beauty unique, original, and unforgettable.


The educational journey also includes the study of Color Analysis specifically adapted to the needs of the Make-Up Artist, delving into the topic of the correct use of color for bridal make-up, and a comprehensive update on the latest news and fashion trends of 2021/22 seen at the Bridal fashion shows in Milan, Barcelona, and New York. This will help anticipate, interpret, and best meet the demands for a "fashion" bride, increasingly present among international clients, and play a leading role in the "Luxury" segment, a sector of excellence experiencing significant growth in our country.


The training program is completed with the study of professional photographic makeup in all its aspects: from the choice of product types to application methods, from the analysis of chromatic yield according to lights (environmental, artificial, absent), to the main shooting and capture techniques (including basic digital photo retouching concepts), in order to acquire the fundamental knowledge to competently and securely perform the agreed work, also considering its posthumous photographic representation, a crucial aspect for the satisfaction of the client and/or the assignor.


Furthermore, a specific part of the program will also be dedicated to the approach with airbrush make-up, an important work tool increasingly appreciated by clients and professionals, for an initial insight about the compatible and suggested models for both beauty and bridal make-up. This aims to guide the professional towards a technique that is partly already established but destined to become increasingly widespread in the near future, and for which it is necessary to have appropriate knowledge.


The qualification obtained with this course will allow you to operate with the best professional requirements even in the creation of photographic shoots in the Wedding sector, both for prestigious reference magazines in the sector and for catalogs/look books of dress and accessories manufacturers/distributors, as well as during the numerous events dedicated to Weddings held on national and international territory, often important showcases and opportunities for contact with future potential clients.


The Masterclass days dedicated exclusively to the Bride are supplemented with an additional educational module that includes lessons and exercises related to anti-aging makeup (both for a bride who is no longer very young, and to pay the necessary attention to satisfy one of the most important figures, along with the protagonist, of the event: the mother of the bride). A targeted educational upgrade that aims at the treatment and makeup of mature skin, in order to securely create impeccable and lasting makeup suitable for women subjected to visible signs of time, with a complete guide to the use of specific primers and types of products that ensure the highest performance without altering the naturalness of the makeup. Particular attention will be given to the specific treatment of discolorations such as skin spots and dark circles, as well as areas at risk of "accumulation". The creation of a "Lift Effect" Make-Up will be demonstrated, both theoretically and practically, that contrasts the obvious signs of time by re-proportioning key points such as eyes, eyebrows, and lips with optical illusion, and giving mature skin a fresh and bright appearance thanks to the conscious choice of products, starting from the application of the foundation.



Another essential aspect, increasingly in demand, is men's makeup/grooming, both for the groom and the figures connected to the bride (father, brother, etc.) with a guide aimed at proposing men's makeup in an effective and optimal way, expanding the offering of professional services linked to the Bridal world
