My make-up course at the AOFM!!


I week ago I finished my make-up course at the Academy of Freenlance Makeup in London.
I really enjoyed it! It was only a 6 days course, but I learnt so much!
After watching thousands of youtube videos about make-up, beauty, fashion, I started to get very interested in makeup. After practicing on myself and my friends, I decided to go a step further and learn more about technique and skills from artists who are at the top of their professions.
Each day we were with a different makeup artist who is working in the industry such as: bridal, advertising, catwalk, music videos...was really cool to meet them. They were really helpfull and gave us some nice tips & tricks of the trade!
We also had the opportunity to work with the high brands of makeup like: MAC, Bobby Brown, Shu Uemura, Armani, Chanel, Lancome, Benefit, Illamasqua... It was great to try all the different products each day and see wich ones works best for you!

The price included a 24 piece brush set! some of them are really nice but others not so!

Here is my foundation certificate in Freelance make-up!
The make-up station where we used to work everyday.

This is a photo of a really small part of makeup we used in the course.
The drawers were full of makeup!!
Was like heaven!!

  2. Thank you SO much for doing this post! I am planning on doing a short course in London in summer and am trying to find the right course. So you'd recommend this one? Can I ask how much it cost?
    Do you find now that you have learned so much more and it's worth the $?
