Boylan & Balfe Intensive
This three day Intensive makeup course provides you with key makeup skills and product knowledge to help get you started in the exciting, creative world of makeup. The course is suitable for all skill levels with an interest in expanding their technique – from total beginner to experienced artist wanting a technical refresher course.
The courses are taught in an intensive environment – a lot is covered in three days, but this serves to kickstart your creativity and inspiration. A lot of time can be wasted on longer courses when all you really want to do is get stuck in and see if this industry is for you. The three day Intensive course is a pre-course for the makeup industry. We give a certificate of participation at the end where we believe our standards to be met successfully. Students must realise that the professional makeup industry is one where success is created by the individual and determination and networking along with a willingness to learn are all-important.
Boylan & Balfe will support each student in their goals and offer all the help they can, often taking past students on as assistants or providing referrals but they cannot guarantee success by education alone…that comes from you.
The Course Content On this course you will experience intensive technical and creative introductory training from mainly practical methods. Makeup is a hands-on business, so the sooner you are working with the products and brushes, the better.
The course contains six separate looks with no repetition between them. The looks form the basis of all classical makeup artistry techniques but we have added our own contemporary twists to bring them right up to the moment.
The looks are appropriate for all ages and all occasions, you will learn to develop your own judgement of which look to choose for your particular client.
Our emphasis is on creating beautiful, clean, balanced makeup looks with our many easy techniques that we have developed ourselves over the years.
The Boylan & Balfe signature style can be seen in many of the Irish and international publications such as IMAGE, vogue, Tatler, VIP as well on nearly all of the Irish celebrities. It is these techniques and makeup designs that we aim to introduce to you.
