I am a 46 year old Flight Attendant who took up a Bridal Makeup course in India, during the pandemic, just to teach myself a new skill. I enjoyed it so much that I continued to work as a Bridal Makeup Artist for a year before I decided to get my new set of skills internationally certified. I joined the London School of Makeup as I knew they gave that international certification (IMA) which I was looking for. I signed up for the 4 week course. Within the first 2 weeks, I had recieved my IMA certification. These first 2 weeks for me, was a brush up on all the basics of makeup with different looks that were taught and practiced. I found the course intense and inspite of having done a similar course in India a year prior, there was still a lot to learn with a lot of helpful tips and tricks thrown in. Week 3 and 4, introduced us to a new Celebrity Makeup Artist each day.... where they taught us a look from their specialised field be it Editorial, Fashion, Catwalk, Television or Bridal Makeup. Through these 2 weeks, we were taught various techniques and in the process we were introduced to a number of products and brands that are not easily available in India or were too expensive to buy just to get a feel of.There were no exams in this phase. As a student of The London School of Makeup, we were invited on shopping trips to various stores of makeup brands and were given discounts which was very exciting! Overall I had a wonderful 4 weeks. Its been a great experience. A big Thank you to all my fabulous instructors who shared their knowledge and secrets with us. A big thank you to Mostyn and Murat (they work behind the scenes, ensuring that it's a smooth ride for us students). I hope to some day come back and finish the remaining 4 weeks (I.e. the 8 week course).
