This programme will cover both theory and practical skills where you will work on clients in our beauty space as well as being involved in creating makeup looks for both barber and hairdressing competitions, community events, and photoshoots.

Course content is delivered both online and face to face on-site at BHB Academy where we operate from a purpose-built, fully equipped beauty room that runs commercially for authentic assessment situations.

Students are taught by an award-winning makeup artist with both makeup artistry and teaching as their passion.
