London Muse - Bridal make up & hair and Hairstyling course

I have been absent from blogging for a while due to a combination of work and training and various other personal issues. Aside from the fact that I am now single (scary times) I have also been learning lots of new skills which is very exciting for my career :)

I began my make up journey at London Muse make up school where I completed an intensive make up course. I have since worked as a freelance make up artist and most recently as a retail artist at MAC part time which I am loving every minute of! I decided to go back to Muse to build on my make up skills and in particular look at the bridal world of make up and hairstyling so that I can offer both hair and make up as my services. I have always been extremely interested in hairstyling and this course looks at the basics from blow drying and using GHD's to up styles and vintage hair. The bridal course consisted of 4 days of make up and 2 of hair, then the second week was purely hairstyling. I loved every minute of this 2 week course and as always felt great being part of the Muse family. This is truly a make up school that cares about each and every one of its students and the aftercare is second to none.

Here are some photos from my 2 weeks there!

I had an incredible two weeks at the school and learnt so many new skills and have learned to be as creative with hair as I am with make up and am looking forward to combining the two skills and using them on future work I do. I have had a lot of questions about this course so here is the school website where you can find information on all future courses :)
